Man Convicted Of Drive-by Shooting Wins Retrial After 8 Years In New York Jail NEW YORK - A man who spent the last eight years in a New York jail for a murder he claims he did not commit won a retrial. Tejpal Singh's murder conviction was set aside Wednesday by Queens Supreme Court justice Michael Aloise after two key witnesses recanted their claim that he gunned down 19-year-old Kamaljit Singh in 1996. During five weeks of hearings, Tejpal Singh's attorney Stephen Murphy grilled Ramjit "Rocky" Singh, who claimed at Tejpal Singh's trial that he was the drive-by shooter. Rocky Singh -- who was wounded in the shooting, which stemmed from a feud between two Richmond Hill Sikh groups -- denied he attended meetings where he allegedly asked for $500,000 to alter his story. But Murphy played taped recordings from 2009 and 2011 in which Rocky Singh and other men discussed the bribery demand. Rocky Singh admitted his voice was on the recordings but denied he offered to recant his accusation. Click here for more on this story from the New York Post
