RICHMOND - Virginia Governor Tim Kaine yesterday ordered freedom for three of four former sailors convicted of raping and killing another sailor’s wife in 1997.
Kaine denied the pardon request of a fourth former sailor, Eric Wilson, who spent 8 1/2 years in prison for raping 18-year-old Michelle Moore-Bosko but was acquitted of her murder.
He granted conditional pardons to three others, Derek Tice, Danial Williams, and Joseph Dick Jr., who along with Wilson were known as the “Norfolk Four.’’ The pardoned men will spend no more time in prison.
