Hynes will be deposed

A federal judge yesterday ordered that Brooklyn District Attorney Charles Hynes show up for a deposition in a $150 million wrongful-prosecution suit against him — and the timing couldn’t be worse for the veteran lawman, coming just weeks before he faces a tough re-election primary.

Jabbar Collins — who spent 15 years in prison for the murder of a rabbi before a judge set him free, citing prosecutorial missteps — will face Hynes at the deposition the week of Aug. 19, less than three weeks before the Sept. 10 Democratic contest.

“I think it’s finally vindication to really confront him and have him answer under oath why he permitted the horrendous misconduct in my case to occur and why he failed to do anything about it,” Collins said as he smiled outside the courtroom yesterday.

Collins’ suit accuses Hynes of turning a blind eye to his investigators’ misconduct during the high-profile probe into the killing of Rabbi Abraham Pollack in Williamsburg during a 1995 armed robbery, and that two key prosecution witnesses were coerced.

Hynes has denied the allegations.
