Subramanyam Vedam是一名64岁的宾夕法尼亚州男子,在错误的谋杀定罪后在监狱中度过43年,尽管一名法官于8月以未披露的弹道证据推翻了1980年的定罪,但仍面临被驱逐出境。 Subramanyam Vedam, a 64-year-old Pennsylvania man who spent 43 years in prison after a wrongful murder conviction, faces deportation despite a judge overturning his 1980 conviction in August due to undisclosed ballistics evidence. Vedam生于印度,自幼在美国长大,在1980年代的毒品定罪之前,他在法律上在场,没有犯罪前科。 Born in India and raised in the U.S. since infancy, Vedam was legally present and had no prior criminal record before a 1980s drug conviction. 对他的定罪的依据是有缺陷的证据和有问题的审判做法,包括陪审团对他的背景和精神信仰进行调查。 His conviction was based on flawed evidence and questionable trial practices, including jury inquiries about his background and spiritual beliefs. 在获得学位、辅导囚犯和在监禁期间保持清洁记录之后,他的案件被撤销。 After earning degrees, mentoring inmates, and maintaining a clean record during incarceration, his case was vacated. 然而,联邦移民当局以反对非法犯罪外国人的政策为由,根据与他以往的毒品犯罪有关的1999年驱逐令,将他拘留。 However, federal immigration authorities detained him under a 1999 deportation order tied to his past drug offense, citing a policy opposing criminal illegal aliens. 他的法律团队认为,数十年的错误监禁应该超过旧的定罪,但国土安全部反对他的请求。 His legal team argues the decades of wrongful imprisonment should outweigh the old conviction, but the Department of Homeland Security opposes his request. Vedam在案件审理过程中仍被拘留在宾夕法尼亚州移民设施。 Vedam remains detained in a Pennsylvania immigration facility as his case proceeds.
