St. Louis man imprisoned after 2003 arrest by corrupt officers finally tells his story

Michael Holmes spent more than five years in prison after a 2003 drug arrest. But the St. Louis police officers who arrested him were later exposed for planting evidence against innocent people to cover their own thefts. For the first time in a media interview, Holmes tells the story of his wrongful arrest and how he survived as an innocent man in prison. Holmes’ attorney, David Owens, also discusses the case, including a 2016 civil rights lawsuit that ended with a jury awarding Holmes $2.5 million. However, the St. Louis has yet to pay one dollar of that amount.
