   Judge Throws Out Murder Conviction, Orders New Trial Following   
   Admission Of Prosecutorial Misconduct   
      
   (Queens-WABC, November 14, 2002) — Thursday brought a bittersweet   
   victory in court for a Queens man who says he was wrongly convicted of   
   murder. Tyrone Johnson got part of what he wanted. His conviction was   
   thrown out, but he remains behind bars. The Investigators' Sarah   
   Wallace first revealed the crucial new evidence in this case and   
   brings us the latest.

   The Queens district attorney admits one of his prosecutors lied, but   
   argues that still doesn't mean Tyrone Johnson is innocent. So his   
   office wants to reinvestigate information they should have had, or did   
   have, nearly three years ago. Meanwhile, it remained unclear Thursday   
   if Tyrone Johnson will be released on bail as he awaits a new trial.   
      
   Tyrone Johnson is no longer a convicted murderer, after a judge threw   
   out his conviction on Thursday. But the 26 year-old was still being   
   held behind bars while the DA's office decides whether or not to go   
   forward with a new trial next month.   
      
   A determined Tyrone spoke with me this afternoon.
