Sundhe Moses’ conviction overturned after 18 years in prison on wrongful conviction
After spending 18 years in prison, Sundhe Moses finally had his name cleared when Brooklyn Supreme Court Justice Dineen Riviezzo decided to overturn his 20-year-old conviction for his role in the death of a 4-year-old girl during a hearing on Thursday.
Moses has not been exonerated, the conviction was merely overturned, which means that he may end up back in court for the charges that he already spent 18 years in jail for. The Brooklyn District Attorney’s Office now has to decide to retry the case, appeal this decision or dismiss the charges.
Moses’ attorney Ron Kuby said that worst-case scenario is probably that Moses could end up back on parole. He was released on parole four years ago. Most likely, though, Kuby said the Brooklyn DA’s Office will probably drop the charges.
