Add another six-figures to the Charles Hynes wrongful conviction settlement tab — a Brooklyn man who spent a year in jail for a robbery he didn’t commit has settled with the city for $150,000, The Post has learned.
Ronald Bozeman, 67, was busted for a $9,000 armed heist outside a bank near Atlantic Terminal in 2011 after two victims testified that he was the gunman.
But the wobbly witnesses later changed their story and told a second grand jury that another man was the culprit.
Despite the reversal, prosecutors under then-District Attorney Hynes still charged Bozeman with the crime and he spent a year in jail before a Brooklyn judge tossed the case.
“What is truly disgraceful is that even as Ronald sat in jail month after month, the former Brooklyn DA’s Office exhibited complete indifference to the plainly-obvious fact that Ronald was innocent,” said Bozeman’s attorney in the criminal case, Mark Bederow.
In his suit, Bozeman argued that Hynes staffers coached witnesses to tailor their testimony to frame him.
Bozeman’s case is one of many wrongful conviction civil suits that have named Hynes in recent years.
Jabbar Collins — who spent 15 years in prison for the murder of a rabbi before being set free by a judge — is suing the city for $150 million.
Jonathan Fleming of Brooklyn, who was wrongfully convicted of murder and imprisoned for 24 years, is suing the city for $162 million.
David Ranta, 58, was freed after 22 years behind bars when Hynes’ integrity unit found he was wrongfully prosecuted — based on allegedly rigged detective work — and settled with the city for $6.4 million in February.
His family also filed an additional $15 million suit against the city for the loss of his company in Brooklyn federal court. That case is still pending.
