flag Pennsylvania drops third trial for man wrongly convicted in 1981 murder after evidence suppression found.

flag The Commonwealth of Pennsylvania will not seek a third trial for Subramanyam Vedam, 64, after a judge ruled prosecutors suppressed evidence undermining the case against him. flag Vedam has served 44 years for the 1981 killing of roommate Thomas Kinser, convicted twice based on circumstantial evidence, including a disputed .25-caliber bullet theory. flag A judge found prosecutors hid measurements showing the skull wound was too small for that round and knowingly presented false FBI testimony. flag Despite the DA’s belief in Vedam’s guilt, the office cited impracticalities—deceased witnesses, lost evidence, and faded memories—for dropping the case. flag Vedam will be released, with officials noting he posed no public danger during incarceration.
