NEW HAVEN - Anthony Golino, a New Haven man who was wrongly charged in the high-profile 1973 killing of Penney Serra in a parking garage, has died of cancer. He was 57.

In 1984, Mr. Golino, a former classmate of Serra's, was charged with her murder.

On the eve of his trial, Mr. Golino was released after tests showed that his blood type did not match the killer's.

Mr. Golino's lawyer, Hugh Keefe, said his client, who died Thursday, was permanently damaged by the accusation.

"He never recovered from the stress he had from this charge," he said. "The degradation, the humiliation. He spent most of the rest of his life fighting the reputation."
