gang members confessed to the cab driver murder, fedex executive denise raymond s killer or killers have never been brought to justice. we wanted to speak with someone from the nypd or the bronx district attorney s office, but both declined comment, citing the multiple civil suits that they now face as the bronx six seek millions in damages against new york city and those two detectives, donnelly and aiello who was portrayed as super sleuths back in 1995 are now both retired, and didn t have anything to say to us. but in court filings attorneys for the city of new york deny that either detective threatened witnesses or falsified statements, and point out that several juries heard the witness testimony at the time and believed them. as for eric, it s finally a new day and a new life, one full of amazing discoveries. hello? no, it s upside down.
one of them was eric glisson. what s it like to hear that verdict read? it s like a shot in the chest. it s like your heart just melts, just dissolves. you actually think they read the wrong verdict, that this can t be true. the nypd was quite proud of detectives donnelly and aiello s work. so proud that five months after the arrest the department aloud the detectives to be featured in new york magazine about how they amazingly cracked the cases. how the detectives could have believed that and decided to run with this and send them to jail for the rest of their lives on the basis of this garbage still shocks me today. all these years later, attorney cross knew his opinion of the detective work in this case wasn t going to free eric glisson or anyone else. i think the only kind of evidence that will go to court is if we can point to who the real killers are. that was quite a lot to hope for, but from behind bars, eric glisson was already on the trail. he said i m sorry
let s keep the faith and let s go and pray, and i said we have many, many sisters praying with you. sister joanna offered more than just her prayers. that s when she brought in peter cross who was now fighting for eric on the outside. so you have detective donnelly as the officer assigned. with eric as his guide, cross got up to speed, and he found some troubling information about how detectives donnelly and aiello connected the two murders. it was through this witness, her name is kathy gomez. kathy, we re on the record. cross tracked her down and videotaped his interview with her. you know i m here today because eric glisson. gomez who was 16 at the time of the murder said she first came in contact with the
him. and while we now know those two gang members confessed to the cab driver murder, fedex executive denise raymond s killer or killers have never been brought to justice. we wanted to speak with someone from the nypd or the bronx district attorney s office, but both declined comment, citing the multiple civil suits that they now face as the bronx six seek millions in damages against new york city and those two detectives, donnelly and aiello who was portrayed as super sleuths back in 1995 are now both retired, and didn t have anything to say to us. but in court filings attorneys for the city of new york deny that either detective threatened witnesses or falsified statements, and point out that several juries heard the witness testimony at the time and believed them. as for eric, it s finally a new day and a new life, one full of amazing discoveries.
standard operating procedure to check out what witnesses say? i would think so. i think they got on their horse early on in this case and they rode that horse and they weren t going to change direction. we wanted to speak with miriam tavares. she died of a drug overdose in 2002. other than her testimony, was there no physical evidence, no forensics, nothing, that tied eric or the others to the cab driver s murder. even so, detectives donnelly and aiello went with what they had and closed both murder cases. within weeks they arrested their suspects and the bronx district attorney tried them. in all, six people were convicted. we ll call them the bronx six, five men and a woman all sent away facing 25 to life. one of them was eric glisson. what s it like to hear that verdict read? it s like a shot in the chest. it s like your heart just melts,
