Jury Gives $1 Million To Man Who Sued City For False Police Charges
A suburban barber takes on city hall, and wins. John Collins says he spent a year in jail for a crime he did not commit. In 2006 Collins says he was wrongfully charged with aggravated battery to a police officer. A jury later acquitted him and he was released from Cook County jail in 2007. He later sued the city for false police charges. On Tuesday a cook county jury awarded him one million dollars. NBC5’s Natalie Martinez reports.
