Jury says Philly owes $16 million for wrongfully convicted man

A jury says the city of Philadelphia owes a historic $16 million to a man who spent 25 years on death row for a murder he didn’t commit. James Dennis received the death penalty back in 1991 after being convicted of killing a high school girl. A federal judge overturned the sentence in 2013 and said detectives and prosecutors covered up evidence that proved Dennis didn’t commit the crime. It’s the largest wrongful death conviction payout in the city’s history.
