To the Editor:
Upon reading the Jan. 7, 2015, article on the dismissal of damage claims from a man whose conviction was overturned after serving years for a crime he did not commit, I must ask, "Why does Michigan continue to bear no responsibility for the people it wrongly imprisons?" News of the dismissal comes on the heels of legislators in Lansing showing cowardice through insufficient support of a bill in December that would have provided state sponsored financial redress to exonerees. One of Michigan's New Year's resolutions should include repairing this gaping hole in its criminal justice system.
