Ray Gifford is a repeat offender with a shared record with James Foley, with whom Gifford killed gangbanger David Gale in front of city hall. With the pressure of a quick conviction, forensic analyst Lisa Russo framed Bobby Campbell and Larry Martin, construction workers on a nearby job, Bobby losing twelve years of his life to prison and Larry being killed after nine. An associate of Gifford's, Brenda Warren, also perjured her testimony to frame Bobby and Larry.
Gifford was identified while he was serving life for a drug conviction by new evidence, after Foley was killed by Bobby's brother Luke to try and make him turn himself in. It's presumed Gifford was taken to trial for the murder. Bobby was released, and Russo was imprisoned for leaving Larry to die in prison. (L&O: "Myth of Fingerprints")
