I know you see stories like this all the time, but there is no way in hell I wouldn't hold any animosity after coming out of jail for doing a crime I didn't commit. 19 years of assrape, shitty food, and being around the worst people society has to offer because of something I didn't do. You better BELIEVE Pittsburgh would be called Leesburgh after I was done with it!

Look at the bright side, at least they didn't erroneously give him the death penalty...

Can you sue in such a case? That is nearly half of his life.
- G.Irish - 08-01-2005
Don't think so. The only way he could sue is if there was deliberate wrongdoing in his conviction. Like if the police had planted evidence or the woman was caught lying.

He could probably get some money out of it; lost potential earnings or something, but what would be the point?
It wouldn't be all that much, in the grand scheme of things, and I think he's making a pretty noble man of himself by just letting it drop. It sounds like he's made decent use of his prison time, too. SEVEN musical instruments? I can't even play mine well enough to avoid jokes.

He's like the A-Team.
Only not really.

""These tests confirmed what Mr. Doswell has been saying from the moment he was charged, that he was innocent and that this was a misidentification brought about by police officers who may have engaged in misconduct," said Colin Starger of the Innocence Project at the Benjamin N. Cardozo School of Law at Yeshiva University in New York."
Don't know if that's exaggeration or based on facts, but that sounds like grounds for a suit to me.
