Pennsylvania man cleared after 43 years in prison for murder denied bail during deportation fight
Vedam faces renewed immigration proceedings after ICE detained him despite vacated murder conviction; a federal judge will determine bond eligibility amid ongoing deportation fight.
- On Tuesday, a federal immigration judge will decide whether to release Vedam on bond while he fights his deportation after ICE took him into custody the day after charges were dropped.
- A judge vacated Vedam's conviction after prosecutors withheld ballistics evidence, and the prosecutor announced on Monday it would drop the charges.
- Prosecutors argued Vedam bought and used a.25-caliber gun, but an FBI report suggesting the wound was too small for that bullet was excluded from defense materials, court records show.
- Following the U.S. Board of Immigration Appeals last week called the case an `exceptional situation,' DHS said Monday that the conviction's vacation will not hinder enforcement, Vedam's attorney Ava Benach said.
- Having served nearly four decades, Vedam faces renewed legal battles after a judge vacated his murder conviction, with supporters alleging bias and a team of attorneys finding prosecutors may have withheld evidence.
