Winston Moseley dies after more than 50 years in prison

    Winston Moseley, 81 died on March 28, in prison, says Fox News. The cause of death has yet been determined. Moseley has been in prison for over 50 years. He is the state's longest-serving inmate. He was put in prison in 1964 for stabbing to death a bar manager by the name of Kitty Genovese. While in prison, he broke out, held people hostage, and raped a woman. He was then captured and put back into prison. He tried for parole 18 different times, but had no luck. In 2013, he spoke out at a parole interview saying, "I know that I did some terrible things, and I've tried very hard to atone for those things in prison. I think almost 50 years of paying for those crimes is enough." He last tried getting parole in 2015 but again was denied.
