宾夕法尼亚州在发现证据压制后,对1981年谋杀案中被错误定罪的男子撤销了第三次审判。 Pennsylvania drops third trial for man wrongly convicted in 1981 murder after evidence suppression found.

宾夕法尼亚联邦将不寻求对64岁的Subramanyam Vedam进行第三次审判,因为一名被裁定的检察官压制了不利于他的案件的证据。 The Commonwealth of Pennsylvania will not seek a third trial for Subramanyam Vedam, 64, after a judge ruled prosecutors suppressed evidence undermining the case against him. 维达姆因 1981 年杀害室友托马斯·金瑟 （Thomas Kinser） 而服刑 44 年，该案根据间接证据两次被定罪，其中包括有争议的 25 口径子弹理论。 Vedam has served 44 years for the 1981 killing of roommate Thomas Kinser, convicted twice based on circumstantial evidence, including a disputed .25-caliber bullet theory. 一名法官发现检察官隐藏了测量结果,显示头骨伤口太小,无法进行这一轮的检查,并故意出示联邦调查局的虚假证词。 A judge found prosecutors hid measurements showing the skull wound was too small for that round and knowingly presented false FBI testimony. 尽管DA相信Vedam有罪,但该办公室却以放弃案件为借口提出不切实际之处,即证人死亡、证据丢失和记忆淡忘。 Despite the DA’s belief in Vedam’s guilt, the office cited impracticalities—deceased witnesses, lost evidence, and faded memories—for dropping the case. Vedam将被释放,官员指出,他在监禁期间没有构成任何公众危险。 Vedam will be released, with officials noting he posed no public danger during incarceration.
