A legal fund for ex-NYPD Sgt. Erik Duran was launched Monday in an effort to help the former cop get his conviction overturned after he was sent to prison for fatally flinging a cooler at a fleeing drug suspect. The NYPD’s Sergeants Benevolent Association is partnering with the National Police Defense Foundation to help raise money for Duran’s appeal to a higher state court “as he fights for justice and freedom,” union head Vincent Vallelong said in a statement.
