BROOKLYN, N.Y., June 17, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- Legal-Bay LLC, The Lawsuit Settlement Funding Company, reports today that a wrongfully convicted man who spent 27 years for a double murder which he did not commit was finally freed earlier this month. Shabaka Shakur, now 50 years old, was initially convicted in 1989 for killing two high school classmates based on retired Detective Louis Scarcella's investigation. Shakur was initially supposed to be released Friday June 5^th from Shawagunk Correctional Facility in Walkill, however, he had to spend the weekend there due to a holdup with paperwork. He was released Monday, and after 27 years, he is finally a free man again. He was wrongfully convicted, and according to the NY Daily News, Shakur is the eighth murder defendant linked to Detective Louis Scarcella to have his conviction tossed.
