Dewey Bozella's original application for compensation was turned down. I presume he can appeal.

If the Dutchess County district attorney is no longer in practice, I wonder if they really can do anything about him.

As soon as I saw the story it reminded me of a song written by Bob Dylan about something somewhat similar, called 'Hurricane'. The song was about Rubin "Hurricane" Carter, a boxer.

You know LOTR

It should not matter whether this Dutchess County district attorney is still in practice or not, he committed an offence while he was in office, i.e. suppressed evidence.

But you are probably right, it would be extremely difficult to prove the evidence that could have proved Dewey Bozella innocent was suppressed deliberately.

And it looks likely that Dewey will not get any compensation either.
