Wrongfully Convicted Man Sues for $80M | Albany News

Corey Young, wrongfully imprisoned for nearly three decades for a 1995 police shooting he didn’t commit, is now demanding $80 million in a civil rights lawsuit after new DNA evidence and recanted witness testimony exposed the systemic failures that trapped him. Freed this spring, Young seeks justice not just for his lost freedom—but for the shattered life, family, and dignity stolen by flawed policing and coercive interrogation tactics. His legal team says the number is symbolic: a jury will determine what truly reflects the gravity of his 30-year ordeal, while also spotlighting how outdated, abusive practices once went unchecked in Albany’s criminal justice system.
