known for	Being wrongfully convicted of the murder of Michael Gerardi (en)
has abstract	Shareef Cousin (born 1979) is an African-American man from New Orleans who was convicted of the first-degree murder of Michael Gerardi in 1996 and sentenced to death as a juvenile in Louisiana. At age 17, he became the youngest condemned convict to be put on death row in Louisiana, and one of the youngest in the United States. Cousin was convicted almost solely on the basis of one eyewitness identification provided by a woman who was the date of the victim, who said he was one of three black males who accosted them. No physical evidence linked him to the crime scene. A number of other witnesses insisted Cousin had been playing in a youth league basketball game at the time of the murder. A video of the game was also presented at court. During appeals, a number of instances of prosecutorial misconduct and suppression of exculpatory evidence were discovered in the case. The primary eyewitness initially told police she could not identify the shooter as she wasn't wearing her glasses, but this statement was not disclosed to the defense. Another prosecution witness testified that he was coerced to falsely implicate Cousin in exchange for a reduced sentence on other charges. Cousin's conviction and death sentence were overturned in 1998. The DA dropped the case, saying there was not sufficient evidence for a second trial. No one else has been prosecuted for the murder. The case of Shareef Cousin is frequently cited as an example of the unreliable nature of eyewitness testimony. (en)
