The exonerations of Curtis Kingwood and Faheem Davis came on the same day that an unrelated murder conviction of Eddie Ramirez was vacated.
Disgraced ex-Philly cop
Did he stop being a cop or from Philadelphia? Which is worse?
Disgraced ex-philly cop is also redundant.

Krasner’s Conviction Integrity Unit (CIU) took a fresh look at the convictions in 2021 and found that prosecutors "suppressed information from the defense that another individual may have had access to the murder weapon and this individual had knowledge of or was involved in the murder; that another homicide detective provided false testimony at trial about the investigation into this individual...
Paul Worrell was one of the detectives involved in getting the confessions, the DA's office said. He "is known to the court for a pattern and practice of eliciting false confessions dating back to at least 1992." Several of his other convictions have also been vacated.
How about they also go after the other cops, the ones who lied at trials instead of the just the one who lied AND sexually assaulted suspects to get false confessions, and the prosecutors who lied about not having evidence that would help defense attorneys. That would be one of the big steps in getting justice for people who improperly convicted.
