The 16-year-old gangbanger accused of shooting two skaters at the Bryant Park ice rink last year is claiming they have the wrong guy, according to his attorney.
"We plan to pursue the defense of misidentification," lawyer Sam Roberts said after a court appearance Tuesday for Corey Dunton.
"To the extent that somebody identified him as the perpetrator, perhaps perfectly well intentioned, but ultimately incorrect identification."
Roberts has also argued that the alleged confessions Dunton made to police wouldn't be admissible at trial, since Dunton had requested counsel before he made themhand.
Roberts argues that many cases have been later overturned due to mistaken identification.
"The documented cases of wrongful convictions, proven later by DNA testing, seventy-five percent of them involve mistaken identity.
He plans to explore bringing in an expert witness in misidentification and in false confessions for the trial.
Dunton is accused of opening fire on the popular ice skating rink in Novemberof last year after he allegedly demandeding a jacket from victim Javier Contreras, 20, hand over his $680 green Marmot jacket, shooting him several times. A stray bullet also struck aspiring hoopster Adonis Mera, 14, in the back, paralyzing him.
