New York City will pay $10.5 million dollars to settle a federal civil rights lawsuit filed by a man who spent 24 years in prison on a murder conviction that was overturned after a witness who had placed him at the crime scene recanted, city officials said Thursday.The conviction of Shawn Williams, who was freed in 2018, was the 14th overturned conviction linked to retired Detective Louis Scarcella, a former Brooklyn homicide detective who has been accused of coercing witnesses and framing suspects during the high-crime era of the late 1980s and 1990s.Williams, who is now 47, was convicted in 1994 in the fatal shooting of his neighbor Marvin Maso

But right now, the battle is about the actual ground - one of the fields where marijuana could be grown. Unlike other states that have legalized pot, a yes vote would amend the constitution to allow only 10 groups of already handpicked investors the exclusive right to grow the state s entire supply of pot. Popular two-term former governor Bob Taft is one of the amendment s most vocal opponents. This is not the right way to do it, said Taft. If it s not a monopoly, it s an oligopoly you re talking about - 10 growing sites. And when a Taft speaks, Ohio listens.
