Alstory About to Get Paid

The so-called "wrongful conviction" movement is about to get bitch-slapped:

• A federal judge Tuesday allowed a $40 million lawsuit to proceed against Northwestern University, a former journalism professor and a private detective who are accused of conspiring to frame a man with a double murder.
  
  Alstory Simon spent about 15 years behind bars for the slayings of Jerry Hillard and Marilyn Green. But Simon’s conviction was reversed in 2014 after Cook County State’s Attorney Anita Alvarez conducted an investigation that concluded he was railroaded.

And who railroaded him?

• Simon is now suing Northwestern as well as former journalism professor David Protess and private investigator Paul Ciolino.
  
  Protess and Ciolino allegedly fabricated evidence that led to Simon’s conviction and the release of Anthony Porter, who was originally convicted of the 1982 killings.
  
  Northwestern was aware that Protess and Ciolino were using unethical practices to conduct such wrongful conviction investigations, according to Simon’s lawsuit, filed last year.

Unnamed in the lawsuit (as far as we can tell) is ultra-libtard "reporter" Eric Zorn who spent countless hours and barrels of ink railing against the death penalty and the CPD, resulting in the release of God knows how many murderers of women, children and others.

Protess lost his job. We aren't sure if Ciolino lost his license. Zorn should be unemployed along with these other two. Northwestern should be in settlement talks as soon as possible. And they should all be doing the rest of Anthony Porter's time as penance.
