Sean Ellis is no longer a convicted felon
Sean Ellis, who spent more than 20 years in prison for the 1993 killing of Boston police detective John Mulligan, is no longer a convicted felon. That conviction was overturned in 2015 after the detectives who investigated the crime were accused of their own illegal activities. Prosecutors declined to try Ellis a fourth time.
Despite that reversal, Ellis still had a single gun possession conviction on his record. Last Tuesday, a Suffolk Superior Court judge declared justice was not done in that case, either, and ordered a new trial.
