Syracuse, N.Y. – Dozens of judges have rejected Jaime Davidson’s bids for a new trial in the 1990 robbery-turned-murder of an undercover Syracuse police officer.
For 29 years, Davidson tried to convince judges, lawyers, activists, athletes, musicians and even the U.S. Supreme Court of his innocence. The federal Office of the Pardon Attorney turned down his case twice, in 2013 and 2017, records show.
Davidson, of Brooklyn, was found guilty by a jury of leading a drug ring and directing the robbery that ended in undercover officer Wallie Howard’s death. He maintained his innocence. He described himself as a rapper whose associates were fellow artists to defend against conspiracy charges.

Syracuse, N.Y. Retired Syracuse police Lt. John “Kid” Corbett’s phone rang early Wednesday morning.
It was a 35-year department veteran calling to tell him that a drug kingpin convicted in the 1990 murder of their friend, undercover investigator Wallie Howard Jr., was just freed from prison by President Trump.
“He was disgusted, angry, depressed over this turn of events, because this is a guy who was on the job when Wallie was killed,” said Corbett. “Very, very upset. We’re all upset.”
