Boston reaches $3.2 million settlement with wrongly convicted man

BOSTON The city of Boston has reached a record settlement with a man wrongly imprisoned for more than a decade.

Neil Miller was freed in 2000 after D-N-A evidence showed he couldn't have been the man who raped and robbed an Emerson College student in 1989.

Miller sued prosecutors and Boston police in 2003, claiming they pushed the victim to identify Miller as her attacker and ignored evidence that could have cleared him.

The three-point-two (m) million dollar settlement is the largest for a civil rights conviction in state history.

Miller says the deal solves his financial woes but he has no idea what to do with the money. He said it has been hard to find a job despite being exonerated.

Last year, a Boston man, Larry Taylor, pleaded guilty to three rapes, including the one for which Miller was wrongly convicted.
