(AP) — A jury in Hawaiʻi has convicted a former death row inmate from Delaware of robbery. Honolulu prosecutors say Isaiah McCoy and an accomplice beat a man outside a bar and stole his watch. McCoy moved to Hawaiʻi after he was acquitted of a 2010 Delaware murder. He had been sentenced to death, but a judge found him not guilty at a retrial. In 2018, U.S. prosecutors in Hawaiʻi dropped sex trafficking charges against him. A federal judge last year dismissed most claims in McCoy’s lawsuit that claimed he was wrongfully and maliciously investigated, prosecuted and incarcerated for the murder.
