A unanimous Appellate Division, Second Department, panel has vacated the murder conviction of a man who was arrested without a warrant after he tried to close his apartment door on police officers.
Riffas was convicted of second-degree murder in September 2009, following a Brooklyn trial. The four-judge Second Department panel ruled Thursday that statements he made after his arrest should have been suppressed, and ordered a new trial.
