TL;DR Summary

A man who spent 21 years in prison for the deaths of two Michigan hunters has filed a lawsuit seeking $1.02 million for wrongful convictions after murder charges were dropped and a second trial was ruled out. Jeff Titus' convictions were thrown out in February based on newly discovered evidence, which showed he was factually innocent of the crime. Under Michigan law, someone who is wrongly convicted can be eligible to receive $50,000 for each year in prison.
