Man exonerated after spending 21 years in prison for murder he did not commit after 'policeman FRAMED him by convincing woman to testify she saw him shoot victim'
By Kieran Corcoran For Dailymail.com
A man who spent 21 years in prison for murder had his conviction overturned today - and says he lost decades behind bars because of a crooked cop.
Derrick Hamilton, 49, was imprisoned for supposedly murdering Nathaniel Cash in 1991, but has always been adamant he had nothing to do with it.
Instead, he says, he was locked up because former NYPD detective Louis Scarcella intimidated a woman into claiming she witnessed him shoot Cash dead.
