FILE - In this Oct. 15, 2014 file photo, Brooklyn District Attorney Ken Thompson speaks during a press conference in New York where he said he would ask a judge to throw out the convictions of David McCallum and the late Willie Stuckey, saying their murder convictions hinged on made-up confessions peppered with details seemingly supplied by police. As Brooklyn's top prosecutor, Thompson became known perhaps as much for the convictions he disavowed as the ones he got. Thompson, who died of cancer Sunday, Oct. 9, 2016, during his first term, agreed to overturn 21 often decades-old convictions while reviewing more than 100 in one of the most ambitious efforts of its kind nationwide.
