Man sues New York City for decades of wrongful imprisonment

Recently acquitted Thomas Malik, who endured 27 years of wrongful imprisonment, filed a $50 million lawsuit against New York City and two detectives. His lawyers claim a culture of reckless law enforcement caused him grave psychological damage. Malik's co-defendants Vincent Ellerbe and James Irons also seek compensation. The convictions of all three were overturned last year due to false confessions and unreliable evidence. Malik's lawsuit highlights the violation of citizens' rights and his trauma, including abuse suffered in prison.
