Sean Tyler and his brother Reginald Henderson said they were tortured to confess to crimes they didn't commit by former CPD commander Jon Burge.
Both spent the better part of their lives in prison serving about a quarter of a century for a crime they had nothing to do with.
I walked in as a healthy 17 year old and left in a stretcher out the back door straight to the emergency room," Sean Tyler said.Tyler said police retaliated against him because he testified about police corruption in an earlier case. Henderson said police also tortured him in an effort to get to his brother.
And he keeps moving. Henderson earned a college degree behind bars and now performs his spoken word poetry at open mic nights. "I don't know how to characterize it," said attorney Karl Leonard."It was a tragedy for the victim, for these brothers, for everyone."
