A New York man will return to prison — for now — after going free amid questions about a prominent detective's conduct, then getting convicted again of murder at a recent retrial.
Eliseo DeLeon was sentenced Thursday to 20 years to life for the 1995 killing of Fausto Cordero. DeLeon spent 24 years behind bars before his conviction was overturned in 2019, so he is now eligible to immediately seek parole.
