Michael Miscione (Stuyvesant) | You are invited to a free public multi-media lecture sponsored by the NYPL Mercator Society: "People V. Boyd: The Murder Trian that Nearly Redrew the Map of New York City." In 1984, an otherwise unremarkable murder case generated a startling legal decision that threw the long-standing boundary between New York and Bronx counties into question and threatened to wreak havoc with New York’s criminal justice and electoral systems. Using historic images and videotaped interviews with the principal players in the story, Michael Miscione, the Manhattan Borough Historian, will examine this little-known ruling and its aftermath. |
