Conclusion Meanings:

'Exonerated': or 'Within NYPD Guidelines' - The conduct occurred but did not violate the NYPD's own rules, which often give officers significant discretion.

'Substantiated': The misconduct occurred and it violated the rules. The NYPD has discretion over what, if any, discipline is imposed.

'Unsubstantiated': or 'Unable to Determine' - The alleged conduct was investigated but could not determine both that the conduct occurred and that it broke the rules.

Franco, Joseph vs City of Ny, et al.
Case # 150905/2024, Supreme Court - New York, May 7, 2024
Complaint
Description: On July 19, 2019, Plaintiff was arrested in his home by PO Derby Wancique, SGT Andrew Fitts, and LT Timot Hinterman on charges of Perjury in the 1st Degree, Offering a False Instrument for Filing with intent to defraud, and Official Misconduct. During the trial, ADAs Nick Viorst, Stephanie Minogue, Constantine Coritsidis, Samantha Dworken, and Timothy Heil repeatedly failed to turn over discovery items to the prosecution, and signed false certificates of compliance stating that they had turned over all materials. The case against Plaintiff was subsequently dismissed for the discovery violations.
