After spending 17 years behind bars and seven additional years on parole, a Brooklyn man broke down as a judge cleared him of wrongdoing in the murder of an off-duty corrections officer.
John Bunn was just 14 years old when he was wrongfully convicted in the August 1991 murder of a correction officer. The indictment was based on tainted evidence produced by disgraced ex-NYPD detective Louis Scarcella, The New York Daily News reported. Brooklyn Supreme Court Judge Shawn’Dya Simpson scrapped Bunn’s conviction in 2016 and ordered a new trial after an evidentiary hearing exposed Scarcella’s crooked ways.
