BALTIMORE (AP) — A federal appeals court has revived a wrongful conviction lawsuit against the Baltimore mayor, the city’s police department and three of its officers.

On Wednesday, a three-judge panel ordered that the suit, filed by James Owens, who spent 20 years behind bars after he was falsely accused of murder, will proceed more than two years after a judge dismissed the case.
