Civil Rights Attorneys, including Jon Erickson and Michael Oppenheimer of Erickson & Oppenheimer, Ltd., hold a press conference at the federal courthouse in Chicago to announce the record breaking $40 million settlement with the Illinois State Police for the wrongful convictions of 5 teen-aged boys in the 1991 rape/murder of a 14 year old girl. Officers forced false confessions from the 3 of 5 teenagers. The innocent five spent almost 80 cumulative years in prison for a crime they didn’t commit.
