Tyrone Noling has spent three decades on death row for the double murder of an elderly Ohio couple, crimes he maintains he did not commit. On Tuesday, he was given a rare opportunity to argue for a full pardon before the Ohio Parole Board.
Noling, 54, of Alliance, presented a growing body of evidence with the backing of the Ohio Innocence Project. The evidence includes recanted witness testimony, a sheriff and a former juror who have changed their positions on the case, and evidence suggesting that another man who has since been executed may have been the perpetrator.
