Cleveland Heights will pay $4 million to settle a lawsuit with a man wrongfully convicted of rape, according to his attorney. Christopher Miller, 46, was exonerated by DNA in 2017.
CLEVELAND HEIGHTS, Ohio — The City of Cleveland Heights will pay $4 million to settle a federal civil rights lawsuit filed by a man wrongfully convicted of rape, according to his attorney, Sarah Gelsomino, partner, FG&G.Miller was convicted of the 2001 sexual assault and robbery of a Cleveland Heights woman.On the night of April 28, 2001, the victim was attacked as she returned home to her apartment, according to Miller's complaint.Before they left, they robbed her.
Boyd admitted to police that he was involved in the Cleveland Heights attack, but said he acted as a lookout while Miller and Stadmire raped and robbed the victim. "At some point, police decided that Mr. Miller was responsible for this crime," Howe said."At that point, the evidence was marshaled to support that conclusion."
It says,"unless impracticable," lineups should be conducted by a blind or blinded administrator, which is a person who doesn't know who the suspect is. News 5 surveyed the 12 largest cities in Cuyahoga County; we found each city had adopted a lineup policy. However, most watered down its intent, including Cleveland Heights.Cleveland Heights, whose flawed practices contributed to Miller's conviction, is one of seven cities surveyed whose policy does not require officers to document when they do not have a blind administrator for a lineup.
The policy was produced by Lexipol, a company that develops policies for public safety agencies. A spokesperson said 450 Ohio law enforcement agencies subscribe to its policy management solution.
