Over the course of 10 years, Louisville, Ky. man is indicted and re-indicted six times on 34 charges including murder, rape, kidnapping—all over the same nexus of events that took place in 2004. He spends over seven years in prison. But wait! The state drops the murder charge in 2015 and then all the rest of the charges in 2016. He missed out on the chance to share births, funerals, and time with his five children, along with the opportunity to “fall in love, to marry and enjoy the fundamental freedom … of a human being.” Malicious prosecution? Sixth Circuit: Too late to sue over being framed for murder. You were supposed to file that before you were off the hook for the rest of the charges.
