Chanel Lewis — the man serving a life sentence for the murder of Queens jogger Karina Vetrano — should have his conviction overturned because cops used an unfair “racial dragnet” targeting black men before landing on him as their prime suspect, his attorneys argued in new court papers.
Prosecutors allegedly failed to disclose the use of the so-called dragnet — in which the NYPD conducted DNA testing on “hundreds of black men” — before arresting Lewis, now 27, in the high-profile 2016 slaying, according to the documents filed Monday.
Detectives used the controversial testing method all because Parabon Nanolabs — “an outside, unlicensed lab” — had concluded “that the DNA profile of the perpetrator generated from the crime scene belonged to a black man,” Lewis’ lawyers, Ronald Kuby and Rhidaya Trivedi, wrote in the filing.
“How this racial dragnet led specifically to Chanel Lewis’ door remains unknown,” the filing states. *** Parabon had issued a report to the NYPD after conducting biogeographic ancestry and phenotyping analysis on DNA lifted from the 30-year-old Howard Beach jogger’s cellhone, the filing alleges.
Since-resigned prosecutor Brad Leventhal allegedly “intentionally” hid Parabon’s report — and the “paper trail” showing that the NYPD used the company that wasn’t licensed in New York state, the court papers claim.

He should be released to the custody of the young woman’s father...
One can only hope that one of that girl’s relatives puts one right between that simian’s eyes.
Why do all these women who get killed seem to have their lips all ballooned up?
Holeee!
She was beautiful....
Blame the Kardashians. All these women on social media want to be like them and try to emulate them.
Clearly beautiful woman with Italian parents, probably from a historically catholic family...
does the police reference to DNA evidence mean that she was raped or that the perpetrator’s skin was under her fingernails? Something like that?
young women today work on their lips with botox to keep them young looking as possible for as long as possible.
She could have been a wife, lover, mother, or sister and friend...
the man who is responsible should die. regardless of race.
How many dead in the womb potential Karinas have we paid to abort here in the usa with our tax dollars and ridiculous ‘right to choose’ assent?
She usually went jogging with her fireman father but I think he was feeling ill that fateful day so she went by herself. This animal should have got the death penalty.
The report of the crime hit the city pretty hard.
She certainly was a vision. Attractive to both perfect gentlemen, and, unfortunately (but, to be fair, predictably) others.
During the report photographs circulated of her in her typical running apparel. Male family members might have stepped in and suggested she wear something else. Frankly.
The perp slugged her in the mouth, lodging a piece of her tooth in his hand. A hand specialist at the hospital worked on him the day after, and ultimately testified. Another case where a so-called unarmed man can still commit murder. After he knocked her out, he dragged her body into the weeds off the path. a really gruesome crime. Her mother is the one who wants to rip him apart.
If I were the father I wold wait until this happeneds and ask for some “family” help in the matter
