A Manhattan federal judge dismissed a case against a reputed gang member
in a shooting last year - because the suburban grand jury that indicted
him wasn't diverse enough.
In a 36-page ruling, Judge Analisa Torres said defendant William "Ill
Will" Scott "produced clear statistical evidence" that he was indicted by members of a grand jury pool in White Plains with an "underrepresentation
of Black and Latinx individuals."
