Zarick L. Rose, a 35-year-old Glassboro man, was charged last week with trying to escape in May from the Gloucester County (N.J.) Jail by braiding bedsheets. He has been in jail since March on charges that he arranged the 1997 killing of Charles Mosley, a used-car dealer from Franklin Township who was the state's key witness against Rose in an earlier case involving the two men. At the time of Mosley's death, Rose was in jail awaiting trial on charges that he stole $1,000 from Mosley and tried to strangle him in 1995. Authorities allege that Rose hired a recently released former inmate to kill Mosley. Shortly after Mosley's death, prosecutors dropped the assault and robbery charges against Rose, saying they couldn't bring the case to trial without Mosley's testimony. In March, authorities arrested Rose and inmate Larry L. Graves in connection with Mosley's killing. Graves was in prison on burglary charges unrelated to the Mosley case. In May, officers found a rope fashioned from braided bedsheets on a rooftop area of the jail and linked the escape attempt to Rose, according to the Gloucester County Prosecutor's Office. Rose is charged with possessing and concealing an implement of escape; both are third-degree crimes carrying up to five years in prison. |
