A key witness whose testimony helped convict a man of murder and send him to prison 28 years ago testified Tuesday that his role in the case of Lamar Johnson “still haunts" him.
Johnson has contended from the outset that he had nothing to do with the 1994 killing of Marcus Boyd, who allegedly was slain over a $40 drug debt. St. Louis Circuit Attorney Kim Gardner believes Johnson. She filed a motion in August seeking to vacate his murder conviction.
