A Kansas man is suing the county where he was wrongfully convicted after he served 23 years in prison for a double murder he did not commit.

Lamonte McIntyre, 45, was freed from prison in 2017 after a local prosecutor asked the court to drop charges. McIntyre’s lawsuit, filed in 2018, asks for $93 million and claims the Unified Government of Wyandotte County and Kansas City, Kansas, is responsible for the actions of police officers involved in his prosecution.
