CLEVELAND, Ohio – Cleveland Heights has agreed to pay $4 million to settle a lawsuit brought by a man who was wrongfully convicted after DNA proved he did not attack and rape a woman more than 20 years ago. Christopher Miller, 46, was sentenced to nearly four decades in prison in 2002 after a Cuyahoga County jury found him guilty of sexual assaulting and robbing a woman in her home in April 2001. He was exonerated in 2017 through DNA testing. He sued Cleveland Heights in U.S. District Court in Cleveland in June 2020.
