Dean Gillispie sued Miami Township police and former detective Scott Moore for suppressing evidence and tainting eyewitness identifications in the 1991 rape and kidnapping case against Gillispie.at the University of Cincinnati law school, former Ohio Attorney General Jim Petro and Dean's mother, Juana Gillispie, worked to free him and clear his name.
He added:"The jury's verdict sends a strong message that those in power need to change the way they do things." "Justice prevailed in this case, although it took a long, long, long time for that to occur," said Petro, who co-authored a book with his wife Nancy about wrongful convictions. David Owens, whose firm Loevy & Loevy represents wrongfully convicted clients and represented Gillispie, said they believe $45 million sets an Ohio record.
