Freed man to return to jail?

QUEENS Kareem Bellamy, 41, served 14 years for the 1994 murder of James Abbott. A judge freed him two months ago after another man confessed to the killing on tape. But now, prosecutors say that tape was a phony, cooked up by defense attorneys.

Bellamy has been appointed a new lawyer, but he didn't seem worried.

"I know I'm innocent," Bellamy told the Daily News. "I didn't murder nobody...I finally get out, after a long battle and struggle, and it's possible that I might be going back to prison. It's insane."

Bellamy was released on $150,000 bail on August 14 after a judge vacated his conviction.
