In another huge appellate victory, the Second Circuit agreed with us that the State’s and County’s appeals should be dismissed in the Cal Harris case.
This means there will be a civil trial on November 4 in Utica, New York.
As Donna Aldea said, “For nearly two decades, Cal Harris was relentlessly pursued for a crime he did not commit, with law enforcement engaging in tactics to harass and traumatize him and his children and, when that failed, outright fabricating evidence against him while his wife’s killer remained at large, uninvestigated. The Second Circuit’s decision means that Cal’s lawsuit against the state police and prosecutor will now proceed to trial, where they can finally be held accountable for their actions.”
