New heat on DA in bad rap

- Graham Rayman

LAWYERS FOR A Bronx teen cleared in a 2015 shooting filed court papers Tuesday demanding prosecutor­s turn over results of an internal investigat­ion into the case.

Pedro Hernandez’s lawyers claim Bronx District Attorney Darcel Clark is blocking disclosure of the investigat­ion, which examined allegation­s of misconduct against the case prosecutor and cops with the 42nd Precinct, court papers show.

The case against Hernandez, now 19, fell apart in September after a key witness alleged NYPD Detective David Terrell pressured him into fingering the teen as the shooter.

A second man claimed that 42nd Precinct cops and Hernandez prosecutor David Slott forced him to lie in 25 cases.

Slott is facing a range of lawsuits for coercing witnesses.

The civil trial in Hernandez’s lawsuit is a week away, but the DA’s office hasn’t turned anything over since Dec. 1, Hernandez’s lawyers claim.

A spokeswoma­n for Clark declined to comment.
