Today he’s trying to start over as a defense lawyer. At that point, Bibb said, 'I’m done.I wanted nothing to do with it.' Bibb eventually resigned – although all he had ever wanted to be is a career prosecutor. They agreed to do so for one of the men, and a new trial was ordered for the other. All the while, he continued to ask his superiors to drop the cases. He made sure that the exculpatory witnesses showed up at the hearing, told witnesses what questions he was going to ask them on cross-examination, and helped defense lawyers draw connections between different pieces of evidence when they weren’t getting it.

But he couldn’t persuade his superiors to drop the cases, so he went in to the hearing and, in his words, threw the case. After an exhaustive 21-month investigation, Bibb became convinced that they were not guilty. This story appeared in yesterday’s New York Times: a career prosecutor in New York City’s DA’s office, Daniel Bibb, was ordered to reexamine two men’s murder convictions because of new evidence. Should a prosecutor throw a case to avoid sending men he thinks are innocent to jail?
