Gary Drinkard Alabama Convicted 1995 Acquitted 2001
Drinkard was sentenced to death in 1995, but his conviction was
overturned by the Alabama Supreme Court in 2000 (Ex parte Gary
Drinkard, 777 So. 2d 295 (2000)). A team of lawyers and
investigators from Alabama and the Southern Center for Human
Rights in Atlanta spent hundreds of hours preparing for the case
and were able to prove that Drinkard was at home at the time the
crime was committed. (Decatur Daily, 5/27/01 and Washington Post,
5/28/01).
