> The prosecution of Mr. Franco was cut short when Ms. Minogue’s team failed on three occasions to hand over evidence to the former detective’s lawyer, a major ethical violation. The judge, Robert R. Mandelbaum, dismissed the case with prejudice: The office will not be able to prosecute Mr. Franco for the same crimes again.

The statute of limitations for the felony charges that the ex-detective faced is five years. Mr. Franco stopped working in Brooklyn in 2011, and in the Bronx in 2015.
