News > 2 Cleared on Some Counts In 1996 Slayings at Scores
The New York Times
A jury acquitted two brothers of several charges yesterday in connection with two 1996 slayings at Scores, a strip club on the Upper East Side. But the jurors continued to debate more serious charges, signaling that they were wrestling with the credibility of the main prosecution witness, a Mafia turncoat.
“It is reassuring to hear the not-guilty verdicts,” said Robert P. Kelly, a lawyer for Victor Dedaj.
The jury in State Supreme Court in Manhattan cleared one of the brothers, Victor Dedaj, 39, in the death of one the men, Michael Greco 22. But the jurors remained deadlocked on a second-degree murder charge against Mr. Dedaj in the death of Jonathan Segal, 25. And they remained undecided on the most serious charges against Simon Dedaj, 35, first-degree murder in both killings.
