Nov.24.2021
The New England Innocence Project awarded the Arc of Justice to team of investigators and lawyers (John Nardizzi, Jill Vaglica, Barbara Munro and Madeline Blanchette) who worked to free James J. Watson, the second man convicted for the 1979 murder of Jeffrey Boyajian of Swampscott. His conviction was formally overturned on November 5, 2020. Watson served more than 41 years in prison for a crime that he did not commit. Here is a video documenting this incredible story.
