In March 2007, Anthony Capozzi was freed from state prison after serving 22 years for two rapes with a similar modus operandi. After the arrest of Sanchez, investigators realized that the crimes were similar and took place in the same area, and that Sanchez and Capozzi closely resembled each other at the time the crimes were committed. A sample of DNA from Sanchez had been linked to the rapes for which Capozzi had been wrongly convicted in 1985. Once police made the realization of Capozzi’s innocence, they inquired with the Erie County Medical Center (ECMC) to obtain his DNA sample. ECMC stated that there was no DNA sample of Capozzi’s on record. This was correct information. It was the DA’s Office that incorrectly issued a subpoena for Capozzi’s DNA, when the subpoena should have requested the victims’ DNA. Medical records and laboratory specimens are maintained under a patient’s name (victims, not the alleged perpetrator(s), are the patients). Once the DA’s subpoena error was realized, a new subpoena was correctly issued and the victims’ DNA samples were located, leading to Capozzi’s exoneration. Capozzi maintained his innocence while in prison, and was repeatedly denied parole for over two decades. Capozzi, who is schizophrenic, and his attorney, settled a civil lawsuit for $4.25 million for being wrongfully convicted and imprisoned. Former New York State Assembly Member Sam Hoyt and New York State Senator Dale Volker introduced legislation that would expedite such lawsuits. This bill is known as Anthony’s Law.
