Two men freed after Queens DA's office investigations discover new evidence via QNS
Queens District Attorney Melinda Katz filed motions with defense attorneys to vacate two wrongful convictions allowing two men to walk out of Queens Supreme Court as free men on Thursday, Nov. 17.after “exhaustive investigations,” Katz said, adding that the CIU has vacated 13 convictions since it was formed soon after she took office in 2020.
In exchange for a significant sentence reduction on unrelated felony charges, Jappa testified at Capers’s trial that he saw Capers fire first into the bus and that McClinton then took the gun from Capers and continued firing. Capers was convicted largely based on Jappa’s eyewitness account and was sentenced to a prison term of 15 years to life.
Capers, who was 15 years old at the time of the shooting, was released after being incarcerated for more than eight years on the murder charge. The following week, four men entered the storage facility and robbed one of the employees — leaving him bound with tape in an empty unit. A second employee of the storage facility identified Williams as one of the four men involved, recalling him from the week before.
