#237 Jason Flom with Stefon Morant - UPDATE

By Lava for Good Podcasts

On October 11th, 1990, former New Haven, CT alderman Ricardo Turner and his lover were shot dead in their bed. Detective Vincent Raucci knew just who to pin it on, a small-time dealer named Scott Lewis. To make the case, Raucci attempted to extract false testimony from Scott’s friend Stefon Morant. When Stefon refused to go along with the scheme, Raucci pinned the murder on Stefon as well, even though he was hundreds of miles away at the time of the crime. Raucci simply extracted false testimony from another other small-time hood in exchange for leniency on his own legal troubles. Stefon Morant was charged with murder and sentenced to 70 years in prison simply for refusing to provide false testimony against a friend.
