Tampa Man Receives $14 Million Settlement After 37 Years of Wrongful Imprisonment
TL;DR Summary
Robert DuBoise, wrongfully imprisoned for nearly four decades for a rape and murder he did not commit, is set to receive $14m in compensation from Tampa's city council. DNA testing implicated two other men in the crime, and the forensic evidence that led to DuBoise's conviction was discredited. DuBoise, who was aided by the Innocence Project, sued the city government and police investigators, leading to the settlement. He hopes his case will make it easier for others wrongfully convicted to achieve justice, and plans to move on from the legal ordeal that dominated much of his life.
