Exonerated Man Files Lawsuit

{Louisville, Kentucky}…Kerry Porter, a man who was exonerated of murder after serving 14 years in prison has filed a lawsuit against Metro Louisville and eight police officers. The suit alleges officers wrongfully conspired to convict Porter of a murder in 1996 by fabricating evidence, using improper identification procedures and hiding evidence that would have cleared him. The suit says the city condoned the behavior by failing to track and identify officers who were repeatedly accused of misconduct. Porter was freed from prison last year.
