Suggesting that the New York City Police Department is risking sanctions in a Freedom of Information Law dispute, a judge in Manhattan has denied the agency an opportunity to reargue her order to turn over records related to a homicide investigation.
Supreme Court Justice Doris Ling-Cohan’s (See Profile) latest decision in Loevy & Loevy v. New York City Police Department, 2013 NY Slip Op 61706, stemmed from the agency’s request to reargue a prior directive to disclose records in an unsolved, 26-year-old murder and rape case in Long Island City. The cold case, which the department insists remains an open investigation, is similar to the one that put Lebrow Jones away for 22 years.
