Ash Kelley

But it's not insane.

Regardless of his explanation and admittedly bizarre behavior, less than a week after the trial began, he was found guilty of murder and sentenced to death.

But that was eventually commuted to life in prison.

Mm-hmm.

Four years later, he broke away from a prison guard in Buffalo, New York, and escaped from jail briefly before being recaptured and returned to the Clinton Correctional Facility in Dannemora, New York.

In the years that followed, he appealed his case and repeatedly petitioned for parole, but was denied each time.

During his final hearing for parole in 2015.

Holy shit, what?

The parole board declined his petition, writing, you still minimize the gravity of your behavior and did not exhibit much insight.

That many years.

And for that reason, they believed he was not fit for release.

That many years later, they still said you're not showing any remorse.

He was 80 years old and still not showing remorse.

That's next level.

The following year, he died of natural causes at age 81.

Rest in distress.

Yes.

Winston Mosley's death probably would have gone unnoticed had it not coincided with the release of The Witness, a documentary by filmmaker James Solomon and Kitty's brother Bill.

Oh, okay.

After spending decades watching his sister's life and tragic death be exploited for the sake of a cynical social critique, like brought up in psychology classes as like, you know, Bill Genovese decided it was time to correct the record once and for all.
