Dana Gaul, 43, said in the federal suit against the city of Worcester and five city police officers that he was charged in the November 2020 stabbing death of Jehlon Rose, 19, based on coerced statements and because he is Black.
Witnesses at the scene described the perpetrator as a thin, light-skinned or white man, about 5 feet, 7 inches tall, while Gaul is Black, weighs 200 pounds pounds and is 5 feet, 10 inches tall, his lawyers said.
Investigators coerced some people — none of whom were actually at the scene of the stabbing — into saying that grainy surveillance video of the suspect looked like Gaul, according to the suit filed by Debra Loevy and Mark Reyes.
