Overview
- Duran’s case, which drew a Friday ruling from the Appellate Division’s First Department, now moves forward with $300,000 bail and a requirement that he surrender his passport.
- Duran, 38, was sentenced to three to nine years a week earlier for manslaughter in the 2023 Bronx death of Eric Duprey, who crashed after Duran threw a cooler during an undercover sting.
- His union praised the outcome, and his attorney said judges recognized legitimate appeal issues and agreed he is not a flight risk or a danger.
- Black Lives Matter Greater New York denounced the release, with leaders saying Duprey’s partner is enraged and calling the decision unjust.
- NY1 reported Duran is the first former NYPD officer in at least two decades to receive a prison sentence for an on-duty death, and his lawyers have four months to file their appellate brief.
