Judge Upsets Conviction, Finding Murder 'Intentional'

09-26-2008

The 1997 murder conviction of Richard D. "Richie" DiGuglielmo, a former New York City police officer, was overturned last week, the result of years of appellate work by his tenacious lawyer, Andrew H. Schapiro of Mayer Brown.

In a blistering 69-page decision ordering that Mr. DiGuglielmo be freed from prison, Westchester County Court Judge Rory J. Bellantoni (See Profile) harshly criticized prosecutors at the Westchester County District Attorney's Office and the Dobbs Ferry Police Department.
