US EditionErik Duran, Ex-NYPD Sergeant Convicted of Manslaughter, Free on Bail During Appeal, Lawyer Says
Judge Saliann Scarpulla set $300,000 bail and said the former officer is not a flight risk while he appeals his manslaughter sentence.
- On Friday, Appellate Division Judge Saliann Scarpulla ordered former NYPD sergeant Erik Duran freed on $300,000 bail while he appeals his manslaughter conviction for the 2023 death of Eric Duprey.
- Duran was convicted of second-degree manslaughter after throwing a cooler at Duprey, who fled a Bronx narcotics operation on a motorized scooter on Aug. 23, 2023, and crashed fatally.
- Defense attorney Arthur Aidala argued the Appellate Division found 'legitimate appellate issues in Sgt Duran's case' and that he is 'not a flight risk nor a danger to the community.'
- Jonathan Roberts, the attorney for Duprey's family, said they are 'deeply disappointed,' noting the decision 'reopens painful wounds for a family that has already endured an immense loss.'
- More than 11,000 officers petitioned for leniency while the New York Islanders faced backlash for promoting a defense fund for Duran on Tuesday, reflecting the case's ongoing divisiveness.
