Wayne Martin was overjoyed when the Brooklyn District Attorney’s office officially dismissed the indictment against him yesterday. Martin had been sentenced to life without parole for the fatal shooting of a tire shop owner and an employee in East Flatbush in 2005. The Brooklyn Conviction Review Unit uncovered alleged misconduct by now-retired trial prosecutor Marc Fliedner and Mr. Martin’s 2010 conviction was vacated on July 7th.<\/p>\n
Prosecutors then \u00a0investigated whether or not to retry Mr. Martin. “Following a thorough re-examination of this case, I have concluded that a lack of reliable evidence, compounded by the utter failure to disclose exculpatory evidence at the original trial, would make it impossible to retry this case, ” said Brooklyn District Attorney Ken Thompson. “Therefore, we moved today to dismiss the indictment against Mr. Martin in the interest of justice.” One of Mr. Martin’s attorneys, James D. Henning, said, “We thank the judge for a just resolution.”<\/p>\n
Od czasu obj\u0119cia funkcji prokuratora okr\u0119gowego w Brooklynie w 2014 r. Thompson zwr\u00f3ci\u0142 si\u0119 do s\u0105d\u00f3w o uniewa\u017cnienie wyrok\u00f3w skazuj\u0105cych i oddalenie zarzut\u00f3w w 21 sprawach, w tym pana Martina w tym tygodniu. \u201eProkuratorowi, kt\u00f3ry dopu\u015bci\u0142 si\u0119 umy\u015blnego niew\u0142a\u015bciwego post\u0119powania, grozi natychmiastowa nagana, w tym zwolnienie z pracy\u201d \u2013 powiedzia\u0142a Charisma Troiano, rzeczniczka pana Thompsona. Wewn\u0119trzna komisja etyki r\u00f3wnie\u017c je przegl\u0105da, powiedzia\u0142a.<\/p>\n
Prokurator w sprawie pana Marcina zrezygnowa\u0142 w czerwcu i nie odpowiedzia\u0142 na pro\u015bb\u0119 o wyja\u015bnienie, dlaczego te materia\u0142y nie zosta\u0142y przekazane obronie.<\/p>\n
Po skazaniu Martina za podw\u00f3jne zab\u00f3jstwo prokurator przekonywa\u0142, \u017ce gdyby nie zosta\u0142 skazany na najsurowszy mo\u017cliwy wyrok, ofiar by\u0142oby wi\u0119cej.<\/p>\n
By\u0142o ich rzeczywi\u015bcie wi\u0119cej, ale pan Martin nie mia\u0142 z nimi nic wsp\u00f3lnego. Co najmniej dwie inne osoby zosta\u0142y zabite przez m\u0119\u017cczyzn wymienionych jako napastnicy w sklepie z oponami.<\/p>\n
Mr. Martin thanked all for their efforts on his behalf and added “There’s a lot of other people out there who need help.” For now he is looking forward to getting back to his life; he proudly took his daughter to school the other day and called the experience “indescribable.”<\/p>\n
