Edson Thevenin

JUSTICE for
EDSON THEVENIN

Father, husband, community member, murdered by Troy police in April 2016

Edson Thevenin was murdered by the Troy PD in April 2016. In 2021, the City of Troy settled the a civil rights lawsuit brought to federal court by Cinthia Thevenin for $1.55 million. In September 2020, former District Attorney of Troy, Joel Abelove, was acquitted of all charges (perjury and obstruction) related to his handling of the Thevenin case. Having finally been brought before a judge by the Attorney General's Office, Judge Nichols let Abelove off once again.

Those who murdered Edson Thevenin and those who covered up the murder of Edson Thevenin benefit from the sort of amnesia created by the passing of time and how difficult it is to trace the intricate elements of this case and cover up.
