Corey Young’s 30-Year Wrongful Conviction | Albany News

Corey Young, freed after nearly 30 years in prison for a 1995 armed robbery he insists he didn’t commit, is suing Albany and New York State for $80 million. His wrongful conviction stemmed from coerced witness statements and damning DNA evidence that didn’t match his blood type — a case now overturned after decades of injustice. Two former detectives are named in the suit, which seeks compensation for lost freedom, trauma, and financial ruin. This powerful story underscores the urgent need for accountability and justice in our legal system. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
