  • Louisville, Kentucky’s police chief has ordered an investigation into what led to the wrongful conviction of Edwin Chandler 17 years ago.  Chandler was charged with fatally shooting a gas station clerk in 1993. He was exonerated in 2009, in part through new fingerprint technology that placed another man at the crime scene.  A lawsuit Chandler filed against the city was settled earlier this month for $8.5 million.  Former Detective Mark Handy has been accused of coercing a confession from Chandler by threatening his family.
