Princeton resident David Bryant, who works on the grounds crew at Princeton Theological Seminary, was sent back to jail today after a judge ordered him back in custody.

Earlier this month an appeals court overturned the decision that led to Bryant’s release last year.

Bryant, 57, served nearly four decades in prison for a crime he says he did not commit. He was convicted for the rape and murder of an 8-year-old Bronx girl and was freed from prison 14 months ago when a judge ruled that his public defender at the time had provided a poor defense.

The district attorney’s office in New York appealed the judge’s ruling, and on June 19, the Appellate Division overturned the decision. Prosecutors demanded today that Bronx Supreme Court Justice Seth Marvin reinstate Bryant’s conviction for the 1975 killing of Karen Smith.
