Chicago Settles Suit Over Wrongful Imprisonment
Four years after a man was released from prison after spending 25 years behind bars falsely convicted of rape, the city of Chicago has agreed to settle his federal lawsuit for an unspecified amount. In his lawsuit, Jerry Miller claims that an analyst in a Chicago crime lab withheld evidence during his trial that showed his blood type did not match the type of the rapist. The blood test was ruled inconclusive by the lab, something experts say would have been impossible.
