Attorney wants John Connolly released

‘Zip” Connolly wants out of prison  pronto

 

by Shelly Murphy

A lawyer for former FBI agent John J. Connolly Jr. argued Thursday that there are no grounds to reinstate his murder conviction for a 1982 gangland slaying and urged a Florida appeals court to swiftly pave the way for his release.

Connolly’s lawyer urged the Third District Court of Appeals to reject a request by the Florida attorney general’s office for a rehearing of Connolly’s case by all 10 judges on the appeals court or a ruling that would allow a possible review by the state’s Supreme Court.
