A Michigan man was recently exonerated 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've exonerated him earlier.

A Michigan man was recently exonerated 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've exonerated him earlier.

Herbert Alford was wrongfully convicted 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. Hertz shared the documents with the court in 2018, more than two years after they were initially contacted by Alford's lawyers.

CNN is Race-baiting.

Wow a story about a straight black man. We get no representation in this woke bs. The only time u report on us is if we are killed or beat by cops.

'The person was a 70ish old short Asian woman....' Cops- 'Nope.. I got him'

Is that the function of a car rental company? Sounds more like the job of his defence lawyer to me.

Dont settle for less than $25 million.

This goes to show that they would do anything to put black people where they don't belong they taken away this man's human rights for nearly 5 years

Us all pointing fingers and asking questions to Hertz isn’t the problem. It’s that if a simple transaction for an alibi proved that, then what was the actual evidence (or lack there of) at trial that put him guilty in the first place? That’s systematic.

Per source: A child migrant facility in South Texas is at 729% capacity and kids are only able to shower every 7 days. Why does the media ignore it when it happens under Joe Biden?

He should sue the state of Michigan as well as hertz.

President Biden, is knowingly, sending illegal aliens, into our country, infected with the Corona Virus at a minimum of 10 percent, according with one area, in Texas , that tested some illegals. Then over crowded illegal shelters, over double, is a sure funeral home.

WTF, Hertz ?

I don’t understand why this information wasn’t demanded for by the court?

Rental car company 😳😳😳bishhhh

This is what happened in Myanmar!

I would sue too.

Praise God alot was done God had the last saying

Be surprised how many innocent people are behind bars.

Hertz is saying they made a 'good faith effort' to look. If it was the CEO's wife, do you think a 5 year wait would be no harm no foul?

Que acusen a esa empresa por ocultación de pruebas y obstrucción a la justicia y que a parte de la indemnización que el Estado debe pagar a este señor, la empresa debe pagar indemnización a este ciudadano.

We really need your support, because Haiti is suffering a lot.With a tweet mentioning FreeHaiti, that would be really appreciated.We count on you. 🙏🏾💔😢🇭🇹

Not a good look for Hertz. They'd be ahead to settle it as quietly as possible instead of going to court.

The problem is with his defense lawyer

I hope that he gets all the money that can and hopefully someone else will go to prison.

Somebody incarcerates me for five years for a crime I didn’t commit and I’m suing everybody

I could never feel your pain man, but you got thru it! This should never ever ever have happened to you. Me thinks the stinking jury/judge/ cops should spend some time thinking about their shameful actions, as for work they should only be allowed to cut lawns. Patrick the Canuck

Can u guys retweet this n help us go 1

Go get them!

This happens to many people around the world, blacks white olive yellow purple red mix colors like me, and so on.

makes you wonder how many others are wrongly incarcerated? its obvious if you come from a poor background and cant afford an expensive lawyer, you will highly likely be in this group. and most black people are not from well off backgrounds

💔

Sue the state too

Negligent and reprehensible Hertz

Get em!!!

The saga of racism ..

Get your money plus need criminal charges

Keep your house clean before you talk about humanitarian situations elsewhere.

Help 🙌

America, the number one country, where people are killed and incarcerated for being black.

So judges and courts cannot enforce court orders? Got it.

The surest cure for vanity is loneliness.

That’s some BS right there. If he had scratched that car, or not put gas in it, they would have found all the corresponding ppwk PDQ.

When you can’t afford a great lawyer you get a crappy one. Attorneys should uphold their oath & do the best job for every client. Any innocent person who spends years in prison deserves big bucks-from everyone involved-can’t get those 5 wasted years back

Great I hope he is successful in suing them

So if someone points at another person in a murder case, that’s enough evidence?

Better to convict 100 innocent men, than let a guilty man go free - you gotta love the US Justice system

I would be suing his original lawyer

good

This happens to black men too much and too often. Time after time. He got his freedom robbed. I hope he successfully sues for every penny and more

this is terrible news

I will always tell you about kellybrian_ he's one in a million I make money from home despite the world pandemic inbox him to know more about his crypto trade offers / 🙏🏻🙏🏻

$20 million for each year and a further $50million for torment of knowing he is innocent and proof exist. Shame on Hertz!

A graça que salva é os mantimentos do 3º ano de Deus que enche as casas até faltar lugar para guardar para se servir a Jesus porque Jesus está em nós e Jesus diz serviram meus pequeninos irmãos na fome sede frio e doentes a mim me serviram venham para a vida eterna Mat25:34,35,36

Good for him.

Good clean them out...

I hope he gets every penny he asks for!!!!

BUT DEAR CNN !,BEYOND MERE EXONERATION, WILL THE MICHIGAN STATE COURT , THE MICHIGAN POLICE, AND THE FBI NOW ACCORDINGLY CLEAR -UP THIS Man's MISTAKENLY REPORTED MURDER -CRIME RECORD ?. WHY IS He ONLY SUING THE CAR RENTAL COMPANY, WHY NOT COURT, POLICE ETC

there goes $27 million to him.. 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽 yay!! Wrongful conviction is a disease in this country.. USA!! 🙄🖕🏽 get what you can get.. it's owed to you..

I hope he gets a trillion dollars!!!!

Kamala Harris as AG would have tried to keep him in prison to use as cheap labor for the state....not my opinion. Thats what democratic congress members said she did in Cali 🤷

This rental company should be boycotted permanently.

Sue the living life out of them. Or any entity who played a part. Holding them accountable so this doesn't happen again. EVER. Us brown & black ppl have had enough. I will be praying for him. Hopefully he gets what he deserves in life!

Good give him all the dang money.

I like this . not the 5 years he spent, but the story . should post this more to help this man. give name of his company too.
