Federal jurors in Houston heard closing arguments Tuesday in a case involving a man who spent 17 years in prison after being wrongly convicted of kidnapping and sexual assault. Attorneys for the plaintiff urged the jury to award the man $35 million and hold the city responsible for misconduct by the Houston crime lab that led to the conviction. City attorneys asked jurors not to be “impassioned with sympathy” and limit any award to $1 million. George Rodriguez was convicted after a crime lab analyst lied about evidence that would have excluded Rodriguez as a suspect.
