Innocent Man Released After 18 Months In Jail - Police And Prosecutors Never Had Evidence To Charge Him After Someone Called Crime Stoppers To Snitch - No Match To Collected DNA Bad
Cop News SAN RAFAEL, CALIFORNIA - A Marin City man who spent 18 months in jail on robbery charges is a free man after prosecutors determined they couldn’t prove their case. Anthony Garrison was facing up to 29 years in prison after being arrested in connection with an armed robbery of a Staples office supply store in San Rafael in August of 2006. Garrison was identified as a suspect after police received a tip through Crime Stoppers of Marin County.
(Article continues below) He was charged with a series of felony counts, including robbery, vandalism and burglary. Court record records show the 39-year-old Garrison had a prior criminal record that includes a 1987 armed robbery conviction and drug-related convictions in 1993 and 1994. In deciding not to go forward with the case, prosecutors say that DNA evidence collected at the crime scene did not implicate Garrison. They also say that there were problems with the
witnesses’ identification of the suspect.
