Connecticut to award $5.9M to family of wrongfully imprisoned disabled man

78% Informative
Richard Lapointe's family is set to receive a nearly $5.9 million award from Connecticut for wrongful imprisonment.
His conviction was overturned in the rape and killing of his wife’s 88-year-old grandmother.
His lawyers believe his Dandy-Walker syndrome, a rare congenital brain malformation, was a factor in his falsely confessing to the crime.
The award is by no means adequate compensation for what was done to him, his attorney says.
