Robert Wilson, who served nine years in prison for an attack he did not commit, filed a federal lawsuit Tuesday against 11 Chicago Police officers and a prosecutor who Wilson said conspired to frame him for the crime.

The day after June Siler, 24, was slashed at a South Side bus stop in 1997, police picked up Wilson, who was waiting for a bus at the same spot, the suit states.

Police held Wilson for 30 hours, physically abusing him, denying him his blood pressure medication, threatening him with more violence if he did not confess and promising leniency if he did, the suit states. He then confessed.

1. Happens all too often. Happens to someone, somewhere, every damn day.

Because Cops and Prosecutors don't ever face jail time for
committing these heinous crimes.
