Sidney Holmes was "very likely" misidentified in a 1988 robbery, a review unit determined. He had been handed a 400 year sentence.

] [Experts consulted by the review unit said the identification of Holmes in the second photo lineup could have been the result of the victim remembering his face from the first photo lineup, and erroneously attributing it to his memory of the robbery, according to the memo. ] [“Based upon his prior contact in the criminal justice system and his actions in this case, [Holmes] should not be released from prison while his body is still functioning,” Magrino told the judge during a pre-sentencing hearing. They all expressed a level of shock at the sentence Holmes received, and the two victims both stated they thought Holmes should be freed. Police ultimately presented an old photo of Holmes in a photo lineup to Wright, who did not identify Holmes.] [Authorities then proceeded to show Vincent Wright another photo lineup, this time with a different image of Holmes, and the victim then identified him, the memo said. ] [The two victims, Anissia Johnson and Vincent Wright, gave dubious descriptions of the getaway vehicle and its driver, who they testified never got out of the car during the robbery, ] [according to a memorandum by the review unit recommending his release.](https://browardsao.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/03/Conviction-Review-Unit-Final-Memo-Sidney-Holmes-8819279CF10A-PR20405-Response.pdf) Holmes applied to have his case reviewed by the Broward State Attorney’s Conviction Review Unit, which examines potentially wrongful convictions, in 2020, claiming “factual” innocence.
