NASSAU-Convicted child killer Kofhe Goodman’s appeal will be heard on July 27.
Goodman, 43, also known as Edwardo Ferguson, wants the court to quash his 2016 conviction for the murder of 11-year-old Marco Archer.
He is serving a 55-year prison sentence.
Prosecutors said Goodman kidnapped the little boy when he left his home in Brougham Street to run an errand for his mother,
Five days after he went missing, police found Marco’s naked body wrapped in a sheet in bushes near Goodman’s home in Yorkshire Drive. They found his clothing and shoes in the building’s garbage.
Goodman was sentenced to death after a jury convicted him of Marco’s murder in 2013.
The Court of Appeal ordered a new trial in 2016.
Prosecutors last year dropped a bid to challenge Goodman’s sentence on the grounds it was too light.
