The Ohio Court of Claims has ruled a Cleveland man will receive just over 1 million dollars from the state for wrongfully imprisoning him for 39 years.
58-year-old Ricky Jackson served more than 14 thousand days in prison for a murder he did not commit. The State Controlling Board will pay the money. Two other men also wrongly imprisoned for the 1975 slaying of a businessman will seek state compensation - Kwame Ajamu and Wiley Bridgeman. Jackson was freed last November.
