Wrongfully-convicted man sues New York City
A man whose murder conviction was overturned after he spent 14 years in prison has filed a $50m (€39m) lawsuit against New York City, claiming authorities mishandled dozens of cases and failed to train and supervise prosecutors.
The lawsuit for Olmado Hidalgo seeks damages for false arrest, malicious prosecution and false imprisonment. Hidalgo, now in his 40s, returned to his native Dominican Republic after his release from prison in summer 2005.
