A jury found Andrew Krivak not guilty for the rape and killing of 12-year-old Josette Wright, who was found in 1995, 13 months after she was reported missing in one of the most infamous murder cases in the history of Putnam County

In July 1996, cops charged Krivak and his best friend, Anthony DiPippo, with the crime. They were convicted the next year in separate trials.

A high-stakes murder retrial is set to kick off in Putnam County, involving the most notorious crime in that county’s history: The rape and murder of a 12-year-old little girl who disappeared in 1994. The man facing trial is once again battling to prove his innocence. NBC New York's Sarah Wallace reports.

Krivak’s conviction was overturned in 2019 and he was released on bail the next year, but remained under house arrest, until Monday."This is a full exoneration of the both of us. Now, 24 jurors have found us innocent and I'm just looking forward to seeing my man move on with his life," DiPippo said.
