Uku ni ko guhamwa n’icyaha mu buryo butari bwo kuzwi kumaze igihe kirekire cyane mu mateka y’Amerika kuburijwemo nyuma ya gihamya ya DNA.

Nyuma gato yo gufatwa ku ngufu kw’uwo mukobwa, polisi yahagaritse Mack, byahuriranye n’uko yari atwaye imodoka muri ako gace.

Icyo kizamini cyahishuye ko uwakoze icyaha wa nyawe ari umugabo wari warahamijwe icyaha cyo kwinjira mu nzu mu buryo bunyuranyije n’amategeko no gufata ku ngufu mu gace ka Queens, byabaye hashize ibyumweru habaye iki cyaha.

Uwo mugabo mu 2004 yari yaranahamwe no kwinjira mu nzu mu buryo bunyuranyije n’amategeko no gufata ku ngufu umugore wo mu karere ka Westchester.

Mu itangazo, umushinjacyaha w’akarere Miriam E Rocah yagize ati: "Uku gukurwaho icyaha kwemeje ko guhamywa icyaha mu buryo butari bwo bitangiza gusa uwahamijwe icyaha mu buryo butari bwo ahubwo binatuma twese tugira umutekano mucye".

Rocah yashimye "imbaraga zidatezuka" za Mack zo guharanira kurenganurwa mu gihe cy’imyaka hafi 50.

Umuryango Innocence Project wavuze ko kwibeshya kw’abatangabuhamya ari cyo kintu cy’ingenzi gituma habaho guhamywa icyaha mu buryo butari bwo.

Muri iyi dosiye, abo bakobwa bavuze ko Mack ari we wakoze icyaha, mu gikorwa cya polisi kirimo inenge cyo kumenya uwo gukurikirana.

Susan Friedman, umushinjacyaha mukuru wo mu muryango Innocence Project, yavuze ko iyi dosiye "yari ifite ibintu byinshi bigaragaza guhamywa icyaha kutari ko".

Yagize ati: "Icyemezo cya leta [ya New York] cyo gukomeza kuburanisha aho kugira ngo ahubwo yongere gukora iperereza, kigaragaza imbaraga zo kureba ku ruhande rumwe hamwe n’uruhare kubogama gushingiye ku ivanguraruhu kugira mu manza mpanabyaha".
