A judge has ordered a new trial in a 26-year-old murder case, saying that when the Brooklyn District Attorney’s Office hired the defendant’s lawyer, Michael Vecchione, a conflict of interest arose endangering the defendant’s right to counsel.
“In this instant action, there was a conflict of interest which at least created a substantial risk that the defendant’s confidence would be abused,” Acting Brooklyn Supreme Court Justice ShawnDya Simpson wrote in People v. Dennis, 12843/1989.
