RALEIGH, N.C. -

A man who has spent 16 years in prison for a crime he says he did not commit will get his day in court.

The North Carolina Innocence Commission has scheduled a hearing for Greg Taylor.

Taylor's case will be brought before a three-judge panel on Feb. 9 at the Campbell University Law School.

Taylor, of Cary, has spent 16 years in prison for the stabbing and beating death of 26-year-old Jacquetta Thomas, whose body was found on a Raleigh street in September 1991. Another man, Craig Taylor, has confessed to the crime.

After the confession, the Innocence Commission reviewed the case. But Wake County District Attorney Colon Willoughby said last month he was skeptical of Craig Taylor's confession, partly because he's confessed to almost 70 other crimes.
