Complaint
Description: Mr. Crespo was in his apartment when three officers knocked on the door. When he opened the door, the officers pushed past him and asked if he had a case pending in court. Mr. Crespo showed them documentation that the misdemeanor charge against him had been dismissed.
The officers accused Mr. Crespo of burglary in the 2nd degree and claimed there was a crowbar covered in blood, which was used during the burglary, that had Mr. Crespo's DNA on it. The officers and other defendants withheld evidence that would have cleared Mr. Crespo, which resulted in his detention and incarceration.
