A judge yesterday ordered the city to “immediately” cough up investigative and disciplinary records for two ex-cops who helped wrongly convict five teens in the 1989 “Central Park Jogger” rape case.
Manhattan federal Magistrate Judge Ronald Ellis said the information could prove crucial in determining the credibility of former Detectives Humberto Arroyo and Mike Sheehan, who are among the defendants in a $250 million civil-rights suit filed by the freed former suspects.
Ellis’ ruling came after a plaintiff’s lawyer, Myron Beldock, angrily accused the city of repeatedly “stonewalling” to keep the dirt against Arroyo and Sheehan under wraps.
