Thomas James was sentenced to life in prison at the Okeechobee Correctional Institution.

James was charged with first degree murder after a man was killed in Coconut Grove in the 1990s during a botched armed robbery. Except, Thomas James lived in Brownsville — he’d only been to Coconut Grove once or twice in his life.

James investigated his own case from prison and tried to figure out what happened and helped find the real killer. Tristram Korten is a magazine writer and the director of journalism for the Florida Center for Government Accountability. He reported on the the story for GQ Magazine.

Today, the Miami-Dade State Attorney's office held a press conference about the case. Listen here to the Segment on Sundial from July 28, 2021.
