Summary of Case:	"Raheem Carmichael was wrongly convicted in 2011 of criminal possession of a weapon in the second degree in Queens County, New York. The trial judge denied Carmichael's pretrial motion to suppress the weapon he discarded while being pursued by the police, on the basis the police officer did not have probable cause to suspect Carmichael and pursue him. After his conviction by a jury Carmichael appealed. On February 7, 2012 the New York State Supreme Court, Appellate Division, 2nd Judicial Division reversed Carmichael's convictions and ordered dismissal of his indictment based on insufficient evidence of his guilt. The Court ruled the trial judge erred in not suppressing the evidence of what was an illegal pursuit because there was no probable cause to suspect and pursue Carmichael, and without the fruits of the poisonous tree there was no evidence he had committed a crime."
