{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.
