CLEVELAND HEIGHTS, Ohio (AP) — A man who spent more than 16 years in prison for a rape that DNA evidence showed he did not commit has reached a $4 million wrongful imprisonment settlement. The agreement between Christopher Miller and Cleveland Heights was made public this week. Miller had been sentenced to 40 years in 2002 on charges including rape in an attack on a Cleveland Heights woman. The victim's purse was stolen during the attack and police started tracking her cellphone, which was in the purse.
