Bulletin: Shabaka Shakur: Wrongfully convicted man calls for probe in to conduct of homicide Detective Louis Scarcella who claimed Shakur confessed to the crimes. A judge has found "reasonable probability" that the confession was "indeed fabricated." Shakur’s case is the eighth Scarcella-involved conviction to be overturned."

The wrongfully convicted man who was jailed for nearly 27 years on a double-murder rap based on the work of Louis Scarcella says the discredited former NYPD homicide detective has been given a “free pass” despite decades of alleged misconduct. In his first hours as a free man, Shabaka Shakur, 50, told reporters he wants a federal investigation into Scarcella’s “disturbing” police work. “I don’t have anything to say to Scarcella. I have some things to say about Scarcella,” said Shakur from the Chelsea office of his attorneys, Ron Kuby and Leah Busby. “Scarcella could not have done  the things he did without people turning a blind eye. He could not do them without [other] people knowing it.” Shakur was convicted of the 1988 killings of two men in Bushwick and sentenced to two consecutive 20-to-life terms.........Scarcella, 63, claimed Shakur confessed to the crimes — although state Supreme Court Justice Desmond Green said last week in a decision to retry the case that there was “reasonable probability” the confession was “indeed fabricated.”........ Shakur’s case is the eighth Scarcella-involved conviction to be overturned."
