Man cleared in hunters’ murders after 21 years in prison seeks $1M from Michigan

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 08:00:00 GMT

DETROIT (AP) — A man who spent nearly 21 years in prison for the deaths of two Michigan hunters filed a lawsuit Friday seeking $1.02 million for wrongful convictions, a day after a prosecutor dropped murder charges and ruled out a second trial.Jeff Titus’ convictions were thrown out in February based on newly discovered evidence, a key threshold to get compensation from the state, attorney Wolf Mueller said in the lawsuit.Titus, 71, has long declared his innocence in the fatal shootings of Doug Estes and Jim Bennett near his Kalamazoo County land in 1990.He was released from prison — and a life sentence — earlier this year when authorities acknowledged that Titus’ trial lawyer in 2002 was never given a police file with details about another suspect. Thomas Dillon was an Ohio serial killer whose five victims between 1989 and 1992 were hunting, fishing or jogging.There is no dispute that the failure to produce the file violated Titus’ constitutional rights.“The ‘new ...

BOSTON (AP) — Boston Red Sox left-hander Chris Sale will miss his next start and may have to go onto the injured list with a sore shoulder, manager Alex Cora said on Friday.The seven-time All-Star, who hasn’t had an injury-free season since 2017, left Thursday night’s start against Cincinnati in the fourth inning after two visits from the medical staff. The team was awaiting the results of an MRI on Friday morning, when Cora said Sale reported soreness. “We don’t know where we’re at, but it’s a possible IL,” Cora said before Friday night’s game against the Tampa Bay Rays. Sale, 34, has been to the IL in each of the last five seasons, missing all of 2020 while recovering from Tommy John surgery. ___AP MLB: https://apnews.com/hub/mlb and https://twitter.com/AP_SportsSource
