We looked at the case of Somerville man James Rodwell, who argues he was framed and wrongly convicted for the murder of Louis Rose Jr., a Burlington police captain’s son. Rodwell has been trying to prove his innocence for 45 years now and just last April was granted a clemency hearing to plead his case. According to Gov. Maura Healey’s clemency guidelines, hearings should be held,and recommendations should be issued within six months of filing a petition under most circumstances...however a hearing has yet to be scheduled... What is the holdup? We discussed this argument of a case of innocence with Rodwell's attorney, Veronica White.
