Bulletin: Robert Lee Stinson: Behind bars 23 years on dubious bite mark evidence; another man now charged with 1984 murder. Journal Sentinel.

STORY: "Man charged in 1984 north side slaying," be reporter Mike Johnson, published in the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel on April 23, 2012.

GIST: "A 51-year-old man was charged Monday with second-degree murder in the 1984 slaying of a Milwaukee woman, a killing for which another man had been convicted and imprisoned for 23 years until new evidence brought about his release. Moses Price Jr. is accused in the slaying of Ione Cychosz, 62, linked to the crime by his DNA found on her clothing, according to a criminal complaint filed in Milwaukee County Circuit Court. Cychosz's body was found the morning of Nov. 3, 1984, in the 2600 block of N. 7th St., near her home. She had been beaten, stabbed and bitten. Robert Lee Stinson was convicted of killing Cychosz, but he was freed in January 2009 when the Innocence Project produced evidence showing that bite marks found on Cychosz could not have come from Stinson. Cychosz and Stinson were neighbors."
