GREEN BAY, Wis. (AP) — The Wisconsin Innocence Project is seeking a new trial for a man convicted of killing a man in a Green Bay paper mill 17 years ago.
The Innocence Project says a witness against 62-year-old Reynold C. Moore has since recanted his testimony.
A hearing on the group's request is set for Tuesday.
Moore was one of six men convicted in 1995 of being party to first-degree intentional homicide.
The victim was 35-year-old Tom Monfils. His body was found at the bottom of a paper-pulp vat at the then-James River plant in 1992. A weight was tied around his neck.
Prosecutors say he was killed after telling police one of the six men planned to steal an extension cord.
The six were convicted, although one man's conviction has been overturned.
