Tyrone Noling's Lawyers Getting Desperate - Offering $1000 Reward
.jpeg)
Tyrone Noling was convicted in 1996 of murdering Bearnhardt and Cora Hartis, both 81 at the time of their death. Noling was a local thug with a long rap sheet who had previously been busted for robbing elderly victims. His friends implicated him in the shooting but later conveniently claimed that they were coerced into fingering their buddy. But the Beacon Journal is now reporting that Noling's case has been taken up by the Washington D.C. law firm of Weil, Gotshal & Manges, LLP. The law firm is offering a $1000 reward for information leading to Noling's exoneration. Hmm...$1000 for new information 13 years later? Wonder how credible any such info will be. In any event, Vic Vigluicci, a county prosecutor, insists Noling executed the Hartig's. In response to Weil Gotshal's attempt to take up Noling's case, Vigluicci said "that's nothing new in capital cases. . . Their object is to delay, delay and delay. It's all without merit."
We will be interested to see if the tip line leads to an exoneration. We doubt it.
