An evidentiary hearing was held Monday for a man facing execution for murdering two people in 1993 in Duval County. As first reported by The Tributary, Michael Bell’s attorneys claim in a new appeal that two witnesses lied on the witness stand – and that they were induced to do so by a Jacksonville detective with ties to a different controversial case.
