NEW YORK-COURT-Grand jury refuses to re-indict NYPD cop for killing Jamaican teenager
Aug 09, 2013
NEW YORK, CMC – A grand jury here has refused to re-indict a New York Police Department (NYPD) officer who last year shot dead a Jamaican youth in his own home.
Police officer Richard Haste was indicted in June 2012, four months after the shooting death of Ramarley Graham, 18, in his Bronx, New York home on February 2, 2012.
But, in May, Bronx Supreme Court Justice Steven Barrett tossed the case, stating that an assistant district attorney wrongly instructed the grand jury to disregard whether other cops had told Haste that Graham was armed.
