A man who was exonerated of four killings after spending eight years in prison helped his fellow Detroit residents this week by giving away $25,000 in gas.
Davontae Sanford pleaded guilty to second-degree murder in the shootings of four people in 2007 when he was 15. He said later that he was innocent and accepted a plea deal only because he was poorly represented by an attorney.
The convictions were dropped in 2016 after officials cited police misconduct. The Detroit City Council agreed in March to pay $7.5 million to settle Sanford’s claims that police violated his rights.
