A bump by an unknown stranger inside a Brooklyn, New York, club where more than a dozen gang members were celebrating a birthday in 1995, left a man behind bars for a crime he did not commit.
for the murder of Lemuel Cruz on Dec. 2, 1995 inside Con Sabor Latino Lounge in Sunset Park. While Pacheco, now 42, is up for parole in December this year, he has maintained that he is not the one who slashed Cruz's throat during the violent brawl.
However, after fully investigating the case, prosecutors said that"while the investigation did not uncover any error by the police or prosecution, new evidence shows that the testimony that led to the conviction -- which described the defendant slashing the victim’s neck -- was not credible." Brooklyn District Attorney Eric Gonzalez speaks at an event, Aug. 8, 2019 in the Brooklyn borough of New York City.
