The U.S. Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit on Thursday revived due process and excessive force claims by a man who was held for three and a half years at Rikers Island before a jury cleared him on murder charges.
The ruling, from a divided panel of the Manhattan-based appeals court, hinged in part on the testimony of a witness who had identified plaintiff Jarrett Frost as the gunman responsible for the killing of Mavon Chapman in June 2010.
