Anthony Fletcher was convicted of the March 2, 1992 robbery and murder of Christopher Vaughn.  At the time of the murder, Fletcher was a 36-year-old drug-dealer and former professional boxer.  He shot Christopher once in the thigh and twice in the back.  He had previous convictions for robbery, drug dealing and cocaine possession.  In the 1989 robbery, the victim was a 14-year-old.

Anthony has never denied that he was involved in an altercation with Vaughn Christopher on March 2, 1992. During that altercation, Christopher suffered two gunshot wounds, and died in hospital, 12 hours later. Anthony claims that days before the shooting, Christopher had robbed him of approximately $50. On the night the shooting occurred, Anthony saw Christopher on the street and confronted him. Christopher pulled a gun out, and a struggled ensued, resulting in Christopher being shot twice with his own gun. The prosecution claims that Anthony intentionally shot Christopher over a drug debt. Anthony and his defense lawyer argue that the shooting occurred during a face to face struggle. The prosecution has had to completely twist the evidence, using misleading and false testimony to make their version of events hold up. The facts are clear, the evidence supports Anthony Fletcher. He has maintained all along that he acted in self-defense, and not intentionally.
