A man convicted of murder in 2018 has been freed and had his indictment dismissed due to a violation of an interstate law on detainees. Terrence Lewis, who was serving a sentence for second-degree murder, had been held at the wrong prison in violation of the federal Interstate Agreement on Detainer's Law (IAD), according to a state judge's ruling.
Lewis was released earlier this month from a maximum-security prison in Seneca County, New York, where he was serving a sentence of 22 years to life for the drive-by shooting of Johnny Washington in Rochester. The jury had convicted him on the charges in 2018.
