Prince George's County lost its bid to not pay nearly $7 million to a man who spent eight months in prison after being wrongly accused of raping and killing his wife.
The Maryland Court of Special Appeals upheld the award, confirming an earlier ruling that the Prince George's County Police Department has shown of pattern of "unconstitutional police conduct."
Keith Longtin's wife was raped and stabbed to death while jogging near her Laurel home more than 10 years ago. Prince George's County police suspected that Longtin was the murderer and subjected him to 38 hours of questioning with only 50 minutes of sleep while shoving pictures of his dead wife in front of him and reading Bible verses to coax him into confessing, court records show.
