Leonard Gipson, one of 15 convicted men, talks to reporters after a judge in Chicago threw out the convictions of the men, who say a corrupt Chicago police sergeant manufactured evidence that sent them to prison, Thursday, Nov. 16, 2017, in Chicago. Cook County prosecutors made the request Thursday as 10 of the men stood before Judge Leroy Martin Jr. It was the latest chapter in a scandal that resulted in former Sgt. Ronald Watts' 2013 conviction for extorting money from drug dealers. (Max Herman /Chicago Sun-Times via AP)
