Justice Delayed for Innocent Man | Oklahoma City News

A retired detective can’t hide behind qualified immunity after a judge ruled he may have knowingly fabricated evidence to convict Glynn Simmons — a man who spent 48 years in prison for a murder he insists he didn’t commit. Discovered decades later, a lineup report suggests the detective and a late officer colluded to frame Simmons in a 1974 robbery. Though the city already paid over $7 million to settle, the judge dismissed one claim due to disputed evidence details — leaving a jury to decide. This case underscores how qualified immunity often stalls justice, as advocates push for reform to prevent wrongful convictions from going unaddressed for decades.
