On the night of June 14, 1979 at the young age of 18, ClarkJerome McMillan was wrongfully identified, shot, brutally beaten, and stompedby the Memphis Police Department while lying on the ground paralyzed from thegunshot wound with a bullet lodged in his spine. He was charged with 16 countsof attempted murder on police officers, rape, and robbery, was taken to trialin January 1979 and by a duly elected jury was acquitted on all charges. Mr. McMillan while attending Los passe rehabilitation centerin Memphis to learn to walk with leg braces and pursuing a 57 million dollarlawsuit against the city of Memphis for damages. Mr. McMillan continued to be harassedby officers whereas in October 1979 was wrongfully arrested and in May 1980wrongfully convicted in the Shelby County courts of a rape and robbery of a sixteenyear old girl which occurred on October 26,1979 in Overton Park, whereas theprosecution presented no physical evidence of McMillan’s guilt at his trial.Clark McMillan was sentenced to 119 years in prison. April 18, 2002 the Tennessee Bureau of investigation MemphisCrime Laboratory completed relevant DNA testing that irrefutably excluded McMillan. McMillan served twenty-two and a half years for a crime thathe did not commit. Mr. McMillan was released from bars but still into leg braces,a wheel-chair and a bullet lodged in his spine suffers pain 24 hours a day withno health insurance as promised. Mr. McMillan received unfair and inadequate compensation andguardianship mandate. Compelling and continued violation of civil rights by beingdeprived of a fair and adequate compensation legislation which addresses thefull scope of the injustices inflicted under the color of the state law. Mr. McMillan does not have to access to his money becausecompensation awarded was used to purchase an annuity in the name of andcontrolled by the state of Tennessee. It is a violation of Mr. Clark McMillan’s civil rights todeny him his life liberty pursuit of happiness guaranteed by the constitution ofthe United States of America. The Tennessee legislators has obstructed justice by the passinglegislation presented by Mr. Mcmilan in December, but arbitrariously and atrociouslyexcluded Mr. Mcmillan from any redress and relief whereas he is without healthinsurance and adequate finances to afford the increasing cost of living.
