Columbus, OH

Columbus, OH: (Apr-10-07) In a settlement reached with Dartangnan Hill, a onetime leader of the Deuce-Deuce Bloods gang, a legislative panel awarded him $192,000 for spending almost four years in state prison for a home-invasion robbery for which he was later exonerated. Hill was convicted of a May 2001 home-invasion robbery largely on eyewitness accounts from the homeowner and her daughters. After deliberating for five hours, jurors concluded that Hill had posed as a postal worker, killed the homeowner's dog and robbed her of $900. The case reopened after another inmate provided evidence pointing to a different suspect leading the Franklin County Court of Common Pleas to vacate Hill's convictions in 2005 and led him to be designated as a wrongly imprisoned individual in 2006.
