Wrongfully exonerated man fatally shot by Georgia deputy during traffic stop

Leonard Allan Cure, a man who was wrongfully convicted and served over 16 years in prison for a crime he did not commit, has been shot and killed by a deputy during a traffic stop in Georgia. Cure had been exonerated and released in 2020 after evidence showed he was innocent. The Georgia Bureau of Investigations will conduct an independent investigation into the incident. Cure's wrongful conviction had been overturned by the Conviction Review Unit in Florida, and he had received compensation from the state.
