An 82-year-old North Carolina man is suing authorities over a wrongful murder conviction that kept him behind bars for 43 years
It accuses the agencies of corruption, alleging that former deputies Tony Owens and James Tant framed Finch for murder, SBI agent Alan McMahan covered for the sheriff's office and SBI general counsel John Watters later hid evidence that would have cleared Finch.
The lawsuit cites the federal investigation that found Pridgen's office would identify businesses with large amounts of cash on hand and then organize robberies, with the cash split between the parties. And that's what happened at the gas station when the robbery went wrong, the lawsuit alleges. Finch was blamed because of bad blood between him and one of the deputies, it says.
