UMich law students push for man's exoneration in beer theft case
Fox News
The University of Michigan law school's Innocence Clinic is working to exonerate Richard Leach, whom they claim was erroneously convicted of stealing two packs of beer.
The Oakland County prosecutor's office, which reviewed the new evidence, also believes the conviction should be erased from Leach's record. But the case was handled by an attorney for the village of Lake Orion, not the county.
"We find it inappropriate and irresponsible to discuss our cases in the press," village prosecutor Tracy Gaudenzi told The Detroit News. "We believe that the courtroom is the best venue."
