A New York City man was released from prison after a quarter-century behind bars after prosecutors asked to throw out his murder conviction.
A New York City man was released from prison after a quarter-century behind bars on Thursday after prosecutors asked to throw out his murder conviction.
Prosecutors with the Brooklyn District Attorney's Conviction Review Unit reexamined the case and found that trial testimony did not add up or had been recanted. This will be the unit's 27th overturned conviction since it was revamped in 2014 under the leadership of the late District Attorney Kenneth P. Thompson, who died while in office in 2016.
The killing happened during a shootout, and Davis, an innocent bystander, was leaving a building on Throop Avenue with a friend when gunmen opened fire, the New York Times reported at the time. A 10-year-old girl who was also caught in the crossfire was seriously injured.
