Reyes's testimony was after he spent a year in prison with one of the men originally convicted.
Further, his testimony was not consistent with the physical evidence:
> Reyes, 31, doesn’t mention using a knife, and a law-enforcement source said that when he was interviewed by prosecutors, he never mentioned using a knife or a razor. The medical source said this makes it doubtful Reyes acted alone because the scalp wounds that made her lose 75 to 85 percent of her blood volume were caused by a sharp object.
