More than two years after a federal appellate court strongly suggested that the Nassau County District Attorney’s Office examine whether a man was wrongfully convicted in a notorious 1988 child sex abuse case, the review could be completed by the end of the month, according to prosecutors.
A prosecutor told a judge on Tuesday that "barring unforeseeable new and material evidence," he expected the report on the case of Jesse Friedman to be released by June 28. Nassau County Assistant District Attorney Robert Schwartz made the statement to Supreme Court Justice F. Dana Winslow (See Profile) during a court appearance on an Article 78 petition Friedman filed against the office, Friedman v. Rice, 13-004015.
