A federal judge has upheld the decision of a magistrate judge to quash a New York City Law Department subpoena for outtakes from the Ken Burns film “The Central Park Five.”
Southern District Judge Deborah Batts (See Profile), who is presiding over the civil action brought against the city by five men who claim a rush to judgment by police and prosecutors led them to be indicted, convicted and wrongly imprisoned for the 1989 Central Park jogger attacks, said she agreed with Magistrate Judge Ronald Ellis’ (See Profile) decision to quash earlier this year (NYLJ, Feb. 20).
