💨 Abstract

A Maryland man, John Huffington, wrongfully imprisoned for 32 years, including a decade on death row for two murders he didn't commit, is suing former law enforcement officials. Huffington was exonerated and pardoned due to prosecutorial misconduct, receiving $2.9 million in compensation. The lawsuit comes after DNA evidence cleared his name, revealing flawed forensic analysis and withheld evidence. Huffington lost years with his family and suffered due to his unjust imprisonment.
