Alton Logan was imprisoned 26 years for a murder he didn’t commit and was released in 2008. His 2009 lawsuit alleges deprivation of constitutional rights, among other things. It names Burge, who was convicted in 2010 of lying under oath by testifying in a lawsuit that he’d never witnessed or participated in the torture of suspects. He’s serving a federal prison sentence.
