William Delvalle, a convicted killer who was arrested in connection with the slaying of Frank DeSena during a live poker game in New York, was released yesterday after prosecutors failed to acquire a timely indictment against the suspect.
New York law states that prosecutors must secure an incitement within 144 hours of arrest.
Excerpt from the New York Post story on Delvalle’s release:
Prosecutors would not comment yesterday on why no indictment was won against Delvalle. “He remains charged, and the investigation is continuing,” said DA spokeswoman Barbara Thompson.
“I’m not happy,” Kristine DeSena, widow of heist-victim Frank DeSena, said last night when told by The Post of Delvalle’s release.
“If he’s a dangerous person, he shouldn’t be on the street,” she said. “If they weren’t able to go to the grand jury in a timely fashion, there must have been a good reason.
