A New Jersey judge has dismissed an indictment against a police officer facing charges over shooting and paralyzing a Paterson man after prosecutors said they turned up new evidence in the case.
Superior Court Judge Marilyn Clark dismissed the indictment Monday in light of prosecutors saying they turned up photos showing the man with a gun not long before he was shot.
In a statement, Attorney General Matt Platkin’s office said it filed to dismiss the indictment so that a grand jury could consider available evidence, including the new photos. Moravek’s attorney Charles Sciarra said the entire basis of the case hinged on the “false premise” that there was no gun.
