GREEN BAY, Wis. (AP) -- A judge says he rule within 60 days on whether one of the six men convicted in the 1992 killing of a Green Bay paper mill co-worker deserves a new trial.
Reynold Moore was brought to Brown County Circuit Court from prison Tuesday for a daylong hearing on his request.
The 62-year-old Moore was convicted of being party to murder in Thomas Monfils' death. His body was found in a pulp vat at the then-James River Corp. plant with a weight tied around his neck.
The Wisconsin Innocence Project says a jailhouse witness who testified against Moore in 1995, James Gilliam, has changed his story about what Moore told him, providing new evidence.
Prosecutor John Zakowski says Gilliam's trial testimony shouldn't be discounted but the jury had plenty of other evidence to consider in convicting Moore.
