of murder, a charge for which he spent nearly five years in prison. Now, he's suing a rental car company for not providing records that, his lawyers say, would have exonerated him earlier.of second-degree murder in 2016 and freed in 2020 after the Hertz Corporation provided a receipt that showed Alford was renting a car from the Lansing airport minutes before the murder took place.
Alford's attorneys said they had requested records from Hertz that would corroborate Alford's alibi. Hertz didn't respond, they said, until 2018 -- more than a year after a jury convicted Alford of murder, among other charges. Alford spent nearly five years imprisoned before all charges against him were dismissed in February 2020. He was on bond from February to December 2020, according to the complaint.
Since his release in December, Alford is struggling to adjust to life after incarceration, White said.
Make a gift of Hertz to him.
Too many stories like this wrongful convictions. Kalief Browder injustice is real. Hope he lives the best life much as possible and sues the gov to get some financial freedom
This is another reason why the death penalty should be abolished. Evidence can be withheld or rigged. Not to mention granting the govt that kind of power is crazy since they've been known to stab their own citizens in the back.
If you were a business how long would you keep a receipt?
