Maharaj sits in Circuit Court during a legal hearing in Miami
Krishna Maharaj sits in Circuit Court during a legal hearing in Miami, Florida, November 10, 2014. Maharaj's defense lawyers are hoping to convince a judge the murders he was convicted of 27 years ago were carried out by Colombian drug traffickers instead. Maharaj spend a decade on death row for the crime he says he didn't commit, before his sentence was appealed and commuted to two life sentences in 1997.
