A man whose 2009 murder convicti💫on was overturned because cops had pulled him naked from his home without a warrant got in more hot water 𒐪Thursday.
He allegedly threatened a 🤡court officer and her family as his retrial began when she t😼old him to change his clothes.
“He threatened her and said he was going to take𝔉 care o😼f her and her family once he got out on this case,” said Brooklyn Supreme Court Judge Alan Marrus, who then told Derrick Riffas, 27, he would bar him from his own trial if he made any more threats.
Riffas could well be acquitted and set free. Because his 2006 arrest was illegal, the confജession he made afterward🧜 can’t be mentioned in this trial.
Prosecutors must now rely solely on the testimony of a ♛career criminal and drug user who says he saw Riffꦗas shoot a livery driver in a botched Bedford-Stuyvesant robbery.
“I called him ‘Pretty Boy’ because he was high yellow and had very good hair,” e෴yewitness Ricky Phylon, 44, testified, pointing out Riffas as the murderer.
Riffas’ guilty verdict was overturned because cops pulled him out of his home without a warrant when h🌞e opened the door naked from the waist down.
