Ohio Innocence Project Exoneree, David Ayers, Awarded $13.2M

Ayers

David Ayers was a security guard in the Cleveland Metropolitan Housing Authority building where he lived.  He was convicted and imprisoned for the brutal murder of a 76-year-old woman who lived in the building.

Detectives investigating the crime quickly focused in on David, because of a number of personal biases, and never looked anywhere else.

I have met David, and heard him speak.  He is truly a “gentle” man.  His lack of bitterness and deeply-felt desire to make sure this doesn’t happen again is characteristic of the kind of person  he is.
