A Haitian national who spent 17 years in a Connecticut prison for attempted murder was not deported after his release last summer, despite the federal government's priority to deport violent criminals. Now he's on trial for the alleged killing of a Norwich, Connecticut woman in 2015.  

The Norwich Bulletin has been reporting on this case. WNPR's Lucy Nalpathanchil spoke with reporter Adam Benson.
