Rey Moore, serving a life sentence after being convicted for killing Tom Monfils was denied a new trial by a Brown County Judge. Moore was hoping for a new trial after his 1995 conviction in a case that drew national headlines.
The Wisconsin Innocence Project joined the fight to help Moore and a book outlining the case claimed a witness had changed his account of the murder. James Gilliam told the book writers Moore was not involved in the Monfils murder and was only at the scene to break up a fight.
James Bayorgeon was the judge in the original case and made the ruling to deny Moore's request for a new trial.
Moore is part of 'The Monfils Six' who were convicted of killing the paper worker by throwing him into a pulp vat.
Monfils, a married 35-year-old father of two, was beaten and dumped into the pulp vat at the former James River mill on Nov. 21, 1992. His body was found the next day with a rope tied around his neck and a 40-pound weight at the end of it. Before Monfils was found, he told police that a co-worker, Keith Kutska, planned to steal an extension cord from the mill.
The only person to gain his freedom after the conviction was Mike Piaskowski who was released from prison in 2001.
