Mumin Slaughter was exonerated June 17, 2024 after the District Attorneys Office admitted that it had withheld critical evidence.
The trial prosecutor withheld letters from an eye witness that police had threatened her and that the trial prosecutor gave her money and paid for dental work in exchange for her testimony. In the words of the court: “the magnitude of that indiscretion was so obvious.”
Mr. Slaughter returns to his wife, children and grandchildren after nearly two decades away from them.
