A man who had been exonerated 16 years after being wrongfully imprisoned was shot dead by a sheriff's deputy at a traffic stop.
A Black man who spent 16 years in prison for a wrongful conviction was fatally shot by a Georgia sheriff's deputy Monday during a traffic stop.
The deputy shot Cure with a taser when he refused to comply, but then Cure assaulted the deputy, the GBI said. The deputy then used a baton and a taser again to try to subdue Cure, but after he continued to resist, the deputy pulled out his gun and shot Cure.The Innocence Project of Florida, which represented Cure in his exoneration case, said it was mourning the loss of Cure.
Then in December 2020, a judge vacated Cure's conviction and sentence after Broward's conviction review team found conflicting alibis and no solid evidence in the case.
