Wrongful Conviction Lawsuit by Chicago Man

A Chicago man convicted of murder based on testimony from a legally blind eyewitness is suing the city and police department for fabricating evidence. He was released after The Exoneration Project showed the eyewitness had lied about his eyesight. The eyewitness had advanced glaucoma and testified falsely. The man is struggling to rebuild his life after being released from prison after 12 years of a 76-year sentence.
