Timeline

Crawford was released on bond, and his case was re-evaluated by a new district attorney. Dale Cox had decided against running for re-election in 2015, and resigned from the district attorney's office that year. On April 17, 2017, the Caddo Parish District Attorney's Office formally dismissed all charges against Mr. Crawford. It said it "could not meet the burden of proof to gain a new conviction for Mr. Crawford."

In November 2017, Crawford filed a federal lawsuit against police and others, including several parties including the Caddo Parish Coroner's Office, the Caddo Parish District Attorney's Office, and the Shreveport Fire Department.

In 2016, the conviction was overturned by the Louisiana Supreme Court on appeal, due to findings of prosecution misconduct in jury selection. In April 2017, the Caddo Parish District Attorney's Office dismissed all charges against Crawford; he was exonerated.

Since the trial, several other pathologists have questioned the scientific validity of the original pathologist's conclusion that the infant died from suffocation. The prosecution's case appeared to depend almost entirely on interpretation of complex pathology data. Four experts testified at the 2016 Louisiana Supreme Court appeals hearing that the infant had died of pneumonia, which contributed to the overturning of Crawford's conviction.

But in November 2016, Crawford's conviction was overturned by the Court. They found that Prosecutor Cox may have discriminated against black jurors during jury selection, and the trial judge had erred by not responding to the defense motion on this issue. The court further expressed surprise that Crawford had been prosecuted at all, given that the autopsy showed the infant had sepsis and bronchio-pneumonia and there was no evidence that Crawford had a history of abusing his son. It ordered Crawford released on bond, pending a new trial or other action by the District Attorney's Office.

In 2014, while the case was on appeal before the Louisiana Supreme Court, the defense introduced new medical evidence, "affidavits from a pediatric neuropathologist, a pediatric neurologist, and an expert in pediatric infectious diseases, all of which said that Roderius was the victim of bronchopneumonia." There was additional evidence related to interpretation of the condition of the brain and bruises. The defense requested that the case be remanded to the trial court for a hearing, which the court denied on March 16, 2015.

The conviction greatly depended upon the findings of a disputed pathology report. After sentencing, Crawford was held on death row, the second-youngest man there. He was imprisoned at Louisiana State Penitentiary, commonly called Angola. New medical evidence introduced in 2014 on appeal of the case disputed the findings of the prosecution witnesses.

As Crawford's attorney Daryl Gold expected, his first appeal for a writ of certiorari from the Louisiana Supreme Court was denied on November 14, 2014, as the court seldom overturns convictions. The brief discussed statistics and the "racial and geographic arbitrariness of the death penalty in Louisiana—confined predominantly to African-American men prosecuted in Caddo Parish"—and said that "Crawford's fate depended far more on where he was prosecuted than his ultimate moral culpability."

The prosecution of Rodricus Crawford in Caddo Parish, Louisiana in 2013, attracted national media attention. Crawford, a young black man, was convicted and sentenced to death that year for suffocating his one-year-old son. His death sentence was seen as part of a pattern in the parish, which has the highest rate of death penalty sentencing in the nation. The prosecutor in this case said this penalty was needed for society's revenge.

Before the trial started in Shreveport, Prosecutor Dale Cox used five of seven peremptory challenges to dismiss black jurors from the jury. Crawford was tried in and found guilty in November 2013. During the penalty phase of the trial, the defense called character witnesses, including his mother and brother, who testified that he was a loving, responsible father. During cross examination, the prosecution brought up the facts that Crawford had dropped out of high school, had no job, and smoked marijuana, which was illegal. The same facts are characteristic of many of the other residents of his neighborhood.
