The unsolved murder case of Oregon Corrections Director Michael Francke has taken a new turn with Attorney General Dan Rayfield offering $2 million to Frank Gable, who spent nearly 30 years in prison for a wrongful conviction. The reversal of Gable's conviction faced intense opposition from the Oregon Department of Justice, which appealed the decision up to the U.S. Supreme Court. Following the Supreme Court's refusal to hear the case, the state continued to contest Gable's claim for compensation based on an obligation to prove innocence under state law.
The Oregon Attorney General Dan Rayfield's offer of nearly $2 million to Frank Gable highlights the ongoing complexities surrounding wrongful convictions and the challenges in proving innocence.
For decades, the Oregon Department of Justice contested Frank Gable's claims, appealing a federal court's reversal of his conviction all the way to the U.S. Supreme Court.
This case underscores the difficulties faced by wrongfully convicted individuals, as state law requires proof of innocence for compensation, complicating efforts for justice.
After nearly 30 years imprisoned for a crime he did not commit, Gable's fight for vindication against the state of Oregon represents a prolonged legal battle.
