A man who spent nearly five years in prison for a crime he did not commit is suing Hertz for allegedly refusing to furnish the receipt that would have proven his innocence.
Herbert Alford, of Detroit, is suing Hertz Corporation for ignoring multiple subpoenas and court orders. A receipt from the day Alford rented a car from the company would have corroborated his alibi and proven he did not commit murder in October 2011. While money can sometimes make things right, not even billions of dollars could be a fair trade for five years of our lives, or for our good name, Jamie White, Alford s attorney, said in a statement, Lansing State Journal reported. Hertz Corporation has a fully staffed legal department, so there is absolutely no reason for the company to completely ignore subpoenas and court orders for years while an innocent man languished in prison.
Herbert Alford was wrongly convicted of second-degree murder and spent nearly five years in prison. Now, he's suing Hertz Corp. for failing to turn over a receipt that corroborated his alibi.
