Brooklyn man with overturned conviction awaits decision on case
A Brooklyn man who spent 16 years behind bars for a 1991 murder of an off-duty corrections officer, a conviction that was overturned, continues awaiting a decision on the future of his case.
Supreme Court Justice ShawnDya Simpson previously vacated the convictions of John Bunn and Rosean Hargrave for the Crown Heights murder. But while expecting a decision from the court of appeals on the district attorney’s challenge of the judge’s decisions, Bunn is scheduled back in court on April 16 to potentially find out about his future.
The now 41-year-old has been on life parole since 2009 for the murder he may not have committed at 14, according to court documents.
