assault against two police officers in Times Square was ‘exonerated’ after being mistakenly identified, according to prosecutors.
The exoneration by Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg occurred weeks after Jhoan Boada was criticized for showing the middle finger to press cameras as he left the courthouse on Jan. 27, sparking widespread political outrage.
“After a thorough and diligent investigation, Jhoan Boada has been cleared as a participant in this assault,” the prosecution said in a statement on Friday.
