The former wife and children of David Ranta have filed a $15 million lawsuit for the loss of his companionship during the two decades he spent locked up for a murder he did not commit .

The suit accuses retired NYPD homicide Detectives Louis Scarcella and Stephen Chmil of coaching witnesses to fabricate evidence against Ranta.

Ranta was freed last year. More than 50 cases involving Scarcella's work are currently under investigation by new Brooklyn District Attorney Ken Thompson.

The city, which paid Ranta a $6.4 million settlement earlier this year for his wrongful conviction in the 1990 killing of Rabbi Chaskel Werzberger, is also a defendant in the new suit.

Unreal how so much of this fabricated law enforcement and prosecution wheeling dealing is coming out lately...

The case in Memphis Tennessee where 3 men were locked up for 18 years under similar circumstance to this NYC case.

Dont talk to the cops.

Tons in NYC.
Brooklyn DA's Office alone is currently looking into over 90 past homicide cases.

I couldn't even imagine. Won't be surprised if someone wants revenge.

"Former wife"....................Sounds like she didn't believe or stick with him either, she just wants in on the gettin of the green.

I have no problem with him getting compensated for the criminal misbehavior of the "detectives."

90 isolated incidents? Seems more of a pattern to me.

We finally found the ONE bad prosecutor and his VERY FEW cop buddies!

We finally found the new tcrpe.
