"A D.C.
Superior Court judge ordered the District government Friday to pay a record $9.2 million in damages to Kirk L.
Odom, 52, who was wrongfully imprisoned for more than 22 years in the rape and robbery of a woman in her Capitol Hill apartment in 1981.
The amount, set by Judge Neal E.
Kravitz, is the second — and largest — award in a case tried before a District judge under the District’s wrongful conviction law, which was approved in 1980.
It also is one of the largest non-jury awards in an exoneration case in the United States.”*
