A Michigan man must repay $1.2M in state wrongful imprisonment funds after receiving a $7.5M federal settlement for the same case.
A Michigan man must repay $1.2 million in state wrongful imprisonment compensation after receiving a $7.5 million federal settlement from Detroit for the same conviction, the state’s Court of Appeals ruled.
The decision upholds a 2024 lower court ruling, stating that state compensation must be repaid when damages are awarded by another party for the same incident, even if the law’s language on repayment is vague.
The ruling sets a precedent that exonerees may owe back state funds if they settle with other entities like municipalities.
