Gothamist reports on continuing efforts by NYPD to cover up the role of reckless driving by an NYPD officer that caused the death of Ryo Oyamda, a Japanese student in Long Island City. The Oyamada family chose Steve vaccaro to represent them, and the evidence was ultimately made public.
Earlier this month, more than a year after 24-year-old Ryo Oyamada was killed by a speeding NYPD cruiser in Queensbridge, the police finally turned over the results of their investigation into his death to federal court.
