Despite clear evidence of Brown's guilt, including DNA on the victim, the officers wrongly targeted the plaintiff, who had been in the apartment before the crime and was provably innocent. The plaintiff was arrested on March 5, 2020, aggressively interrogated, and coerced into a false confession. The defendants falsely portrayed him as the murderer to the media and used fabricated testimony from Brown to secure an indictment on April 2, 2020. Even after DNA evidence exonerated the plaintiff on July 8, 2020, the prosecution continued, and he remained in custody until September 10, 2021. All charges were dismissed on July 27, 2022, but the plaintiff suffered significant damages due to the defendants' actions.","documents":[{"url":"https://iapps.courts.state.ny.us/nyscef/ViewDocument?docIndex=PIdzM8FKJrlR4KIfvkzI4w==","type":"complaint"}]},{"name":"Casado, William Jr. vs City of New York, et al.","start_date":"2019-09-06","payout_amount":0,"disposition":"","docket":"518344/2019","court":"Supreme Court - Kings","officer_name":"Damico, Michael","summary":"On or about October 9, 2018, William Casado, Jr. was allegedly assaulted and battered by Police Detective Michael Damico (Shield No. 7100) and other unidentified police officers (John Does) at 928 Broadway, Brooklyn, New York.
