The North Carolina Innocence Commission has scheduled a hearing in the case of a convicted murderer.
Superior Court Judge Donald Stephens ordered Greg Taylor's case to be brought before a three-judge panel on Feb. 9 at the Campbell University Law School in Raleigh.
Taylor of Cary has spent 16 years in prison for the stabbing and beating death of 26-year-old Jacquetta Thomas, whose body was found on a Raleigh street in September 1991. Another man, Craig Taylor, has confessed to the crime.
The commission found that the confession along with other information provided enough evidence for a review of the case. But Wake County District Attorney Colon Willoughby said last month he was skeptical of Craig Taylor's confession, partly because he's confessed to almost 70 other crimes.
