Abstract
- Saying that a detective's handwritten notes had not been promptly turned over to defense lawyers before trial, a New York appeals court panel this week overturned the 2010 conviction of a cantor who had already served one year in prison for the repeated sexual assault of a teenager. The criminal case against the cantor, Baruch Lebovits, now 61, had been among the high-profile achievements of the sex-crimes unit of the Brooklyn district attorney's office in its campaign to persuade members of the Hasidic community to cooperate more with government authorities in the prosecution of offenders.
