Fernando Bermudez at Sing Sing in 2007 (Photo by The New York Times).According to a Manhattan judge Thursday, a man who has already spent 18 years in prison is innocent.
“I find no credible evidence connects Fernando Bermudez to the homicide of Mr. Blount,” Justice John Cataldo of the State Supreme Court said.
Because of the ruling, Bermudez, 40, may be able to collect compensation from the state of New York. -- The New York Times, Nov. 12, http://www.nytimes.com/2009/11/13/nyregion/13freed.html?hp
Excellent choice for a summary. It's amazing how many people that are in jail who are later found to be innocent. I like the backdrop of your blog.
