In 1994, Crane's murder case was re-opened and Carpenter was tried and eventually acquitted.[11] As a result of the accusation, he was fired from work as National Service Manager at the electronics firm Kenwood USA.[13] He always maintained his innocence, and later said he felt a huge relief after his name had been cleared.
