A man convicted of shooting at two police officers after a car chase that began at John F. Kennedy International Airport has been granted a new trial by a New York appeals court. The panel found that the trial judge erred in refusing to allow the testimony of a witness who could have given the defendant a partial alibi and in failing to give the jury an alibi charge. The court also faulted the assistant district attorney for "prosecutorial misconduct" during cross-examination of the defendant and summation.
