Carlos Weeks
He was sentenced to 27 years to life in prison for a murder he did not commit as a result of false testimony.
Weeks gained his freedom after the witness in his trial recanted her statement and admitted she lied.
Weeks was convicted for the 1993 shooting and murder of 21-year-old Frank Davis outside the Tompkins Houses in Bedford-Stuyvesant. He also faced an additional charge of injuring a 10-year-old girl in the alleged incident.
During his trial, two sisters, Lorraine and Carmella Taylor, testified they saw Weeks committing the crime from the window of their 12th-floor apartment.
But investigations by the DA’s Conviction Review Unit found the two witnesses not credible and moved to vacate the case.
