LAWSUITS NEWS & LEGAL INFORMATION

Wayne County

Michelle Jackson was a Murray Wright High School junior. In October 1984 she was raped and strangled to death on the way to school. At that same time, Eddie Joe Lloyd was a patient at the Detroit Psychiatric Institute in Herman Kiefer Hospital. Lloyd was convicted of murder and sentenced to prison. He spent 17 years in jail before DNA evidence exonerated him in 2002. Lloyd filed a lawsuit against the county for providing substandard attorneys, wrongful conviction and wrongful imprisonment. Lloyd claimed a detective fed him details about the case and police urged him to confess because it would help smoke out the real killer. Lloyd died in 2004. Wayne County has agreed to pay the estate of Eddie Joe Lloyd a $225,000 settlement. (Mar-29-06) [DETROIT FREE PRESS]
