Eyewitness fingers two teens for 1999 murder in New Haven, Conn. deli. But only after he said 18 times that he could not identify the masked perpetrators and detectives threatened to revoke his probation. Second Circuit (unpublished): That's the sort of thing that the jury should have heard about it. No qualified immunity. (Thankfully, the teens' convictions were vacated in 2018.)
The case is Adger v. Horn, 24-1034 (2d Cir. June 9, 2025).
