17. He was completely exonerated
Edited on Sat Jan-01-05 09:41 AM by DoYouEverWonder
Fortunately he had a good lawyer and my mother got a court order to send in a photographer while my dad was still in jail.

At the trial, the judge gave an eight hour statement (took two days) about his innocence and the wrongs that the police had done to him. He sited all the times the police perjured themselves during the trial. From there the brutality case was tied up in court for over 5 years until my parents finally reached an out of court settlement. They just got to a point that they needed to put the whole thing behind them. At least, all of the police involved were reassigned to desk jobs or retired.
