Michael Sutton and Kenny Phillips were convicted for a 2006 Cleveland shooting that seriously injured two people. Sutton received a 46-year prison sentence, while Phillips — alleged to have shot at police — was sentenced to 92 years in prison, despite the fact that there was no reliable physical evidence that tied these two Men to this case and details later came forth that the prosecutors failed to disclose evidence that would have helped support their innocence. 

After fighting for justice in the court of appeals, the two were finally granted a retrial more than a decade later bringing forth a new jury verdict of Not-Guilty! This new verdict is absolutely 100% the correct decision and brings light to how wrongful conviction cases are being handled in Cuyahoga County and the corruption of the Cleveland police department.
