Queens DA moves to dismiss charges against 3 in 1996 double murder case Replay Video UP NEXT All charges were dropped Friday against three men convicted in a 1996 double murder of an NYPD officer and the owner of check cashing business during an attempted robbery, one month after their convictions were overturned. George Bell, Gary Johnson, and Rohan Bolt spent nearly 25 years in prison on a 50-year sentence and were released from the Green Haven Correctional Facility in Stormville on March 5 after a Queens judge tossed the convictions, citing prosecutorial misconduct. "I'm trying so hard to hold in my tears right now," Bell said Friday.
