Brewer Blvd. in Queens, NY, the plaintiff was unlawfully arrested and charged with second-degree murder and related charges without legal justification. The victim, Renne Staton, was murdered on February 15, 2012, and found with a laundry bag and scarf. Video surveillance showed an individual, not the plaintiff, transporting the body. None of the DNA from the scene matched the plaintiff's DNA. The plaintiff cooperated with the NYPD's investigation, which found that calls made from the victim's phone hours before her body was found were linked to another individual, the actual murderer. In 2012, the NYPD determined there was no probable cause to arrest the plaintiff and closed the case without an arrest. On March 7, 2018, Defendant Palamara reopened the case and chose to prosecute the plaintiff, ignoring the prior evidence. Due to material omissions and misrepresentations by the defendants, the plaintiff was prosecuted by the Kings County District Attorney's office and indicted by the grand jury. However, the DA's office eventually discovered the withheld evidence and confirmed the plaintiff's innocence through DNA comparison. On January 19, 2021, all charges against the plaintiff were dismissed.","documents":[{"url":"https://iapps.courts.state.ny.us/nyscef/ViewDocument?docIndex=uXLbPfg6yCuXGZpOtzukwg==","type":"complaint"}]},{"officer_name":"Palamara, Jason M.","disposition":"Settlement","start_date":"2012-04-11","disposition_date":"2019-03-21","court":"Supreme Court - Kings","docket":"007174/2012","name":"Perry, Kenneth M. vs City of New York, et al.","payout_amount":3500000}],"documents":[{"url":"https://www.documentcloud.org/documents/21027324-palamara-c6bb2762535dfa3f06ffacfea140b5925f34fab5","type":"brady-giglio","lawsuits":["11CV02940"]}],"id":"W4AP","url":"https://www.50-a.org/officer/W4AP"}
