At a hearing Wednesday in Brooklyn to clear a man of his 20-year-old murder conviction for prosecutorial misconduct, there was plenty of blame to go around for what went wrong in the case.
Jabbar Washington, who was fingered as the shooter in a 1995 armed robbery of a crack den in Brownsville, became the 23rd person to have their conviction vacated with the help of the Brooklyn District Attorney's Office's conviction review unit.
Additionally, it is the eighth conviction based on an investigation involving retired New York City police detective Louis Scarcella to get tossed out.
