| Muhammad Aziz, who is in his 80s, will be exonerated in New York State Supreme Court, two people familiar with the matter said. Manhattan District Attorney Cyrus R.

The second is likely to be Khalil Islam, who died in 2009, but, like Aziz, long maintained his innocence in the killing of the civil rights leader. |
