A divided state appeals panel has let the New York City Police Department off the hook for $49,000 in legal fees after finding that it did not wrongfully withhold certain records from a non-profit group investigating a wrongful murder conviction claim.
The 4-1 Appellate Division, First Department, panel ruled on Feb. 6 in The Exoneration Initiative v. New York City Police Department, 102688/12, that the NYPD does not have to turn over the addresses and telephone numbers of two people who witnessed the murder, though it must turn over some other information that it had withheld.
