San Francisco: A man who spent more than six years in prison after police framed him for murder is expected to receive a USD 13.1 million settlement from city of San Francisco.
The Board of Supervisors has scheduled a vote to approve the payment to settle a civil rights lawsuit filed by Jamal Trulove. Trulove was an aspiring actor and hip-hop artist when he was arrested in the 2007 murder of his friend and neighbour in a low-income housing project.
A jury convicted him of murder in 2010 and he was sentenced to life in prison. An appeals court overturned the conviction in 2014 and ordered a new trial.
Three years later, Trulove sued the police department and four officers, claiming they fabricated evidence, coerced a key eyewitness and withheld vital information that may have exonerated Trulove. (AP)
