GARDEN CITY, N.Y., July 1 (UPI) -- An exonerated convicted murderer says he's going to focus on finding the "real criminals" responsible for the 1988 Long Island, N.Y., slayings of his parents.

Despite a warning from New York State Attorney General Andrew Cuomo that there was still "some evidence" that Martin Tankleff murdered his parents, he nevertheless declined Monday to retry the 36-year-old man, whose sentence life sentence was overturned in December after 20 years of legal struggles, Newsday reported.

In an interview with the newspaper, Tankleff said he believes his father's former business partner hired two hit men to kill Seymour and Arlene Tankleff in their Belle Terre, N.Y., home, a situation he said had tempered his joy of being released after serving 18 years in prison for a murder he says he did not commit.

"My parents were murdered 20 years ago. I was wrongly prosecuted. And the killers are still out there", Tankleff told Newsday. "It's really not that type of celebratory day. It's a day of relief that it's finally, essentially, over for me. But the killers are still roaming the streets."

Cuomo's chief trial attorney, Benjamin Rosenberg, has said that there is not enough evidence to pursue charges against other suspects.
