Alan Gell's troubles continue

Alan Gell served 9 hears in North Carolina for a murder he didn't commit. He is suing State Bureau of Investigation agent Dwight Ransome for fabricating evidence against him in the murder case. And now he has been sentenced to 5 years because of a consensual statutory rape case in which the victim was 15, and the lead was . . . Ransome's boss?

It seems the state of North Carolina has no shame. In light of the Duke case, this comes as no surprise.
