Ronald Kuby crops up as part of legal punditry around the Ruiz case after a judge vacated a 1993 murder conviction; longtime NYC defense lawyer.
The Manhattan post-conviction review unit has found new evidence undermining the case against Harry Ruiz, who was convicted in 1994 for the fatal shooting of Emmanuel Felix. The findings include undisclosed payments to a key witness’s family and inconsistencies in witness testimony. Ruiz has maintained innocence, and a judge has rebuked a former assistant district attorney over participation in the reinvestigation. The case remains under consideration as prosecutors weigh next steps.
