‘Lying now, or lying then?’ Under Pa. rules, many are convicted on recanted statements. Samantha Melamed, The Philadelphia Inquirer © JESSICA GRIFFIN/The Philadelphia Inquirer/TNS Judges found that Spivey s lawyer failed to demand a mistrial after improper testimony bolstered the prosecutor’s weak identification evidence. The first time Derrick Spivey learned about “Bradying” was at his own preliminary hearing, facing a charge of first-degree murder. The sole witness at the 2009 hearing was a former high school classmate of Spivey’s who, a year earlier, had signed a statement that Spivey fatally shot Marvin Hudson, 21. Now that witness, Rahman “Rock” Isaac, testified that his statement was a fabrication by detectives, one that he’d signed under duress. In fact, he testified, he had ducked for cover and did not see who shot Hudson.
