Brooklyn Supreme Court Justice Dena Douglas has dismissed a decades-old murder charge against our client Donnell Perkins. As we noted in a previous post, in January, Justice Douglas overturned Donnell’s 22-year-old murder conviction after the firm’s seven-year battle for justice for Donnell culminated in a 440 hearing at which we established that the single eyewitness in the case had misled the jury about his eyesight and that his identification of Donnell could not be trusted. Justice Douglas dismissed the charges after the D.A.’s Office declined to reprosecute Donnell and his codefendant, Kareem Mayo.
