I'm getting so sick of niggers getting away with it. They were identified, they confessed. Now the witnesses have to do it all over again, including worrying for their safety.
Lee, now 55, and Kelley, 52, confessed but soon recanted. With no physical evidence against them, their prosecutions hinged on their confessions and testimony from witnesses who had been in the video store around the time of the killing.
One identified Lee as a man browsing the shop shortly beforehand in a green-and-purple plaid baseball cap that was then found near Merino's body. Kelley had told police he was wearing the cap himself.
DNA testing in 2014 confirmed there were no traces of either Kelley or Lee on the cap and found it was laden with genetic material from someone else: a man convicted of a 1989 knifepoint holdup at a different Paterson shop. He'd been released from prison three months before the video store robbery.
