10. Keanu Reeves – Hit and Run
In an example of an actor getting sued by the paparazzi, Keanu Reeves ended up getting his fair deal in the end. He was sued by a photographer for causing injury and harm. The photographer asked the jury to make Reeves hand over $711,974, which supposedly would make up for the medical bills and other expenses that the injuries caused. The story was that Reeves had hit the photographer with his Porsche back in 2007. The supposed hit and run resulted in a fall and wrist injuries. Yet, the jury said that the photographer’s story was so twisted up and contradictory, that Reeves was found not guilty.
9. Dewey Bozella – Burglary and Murder
Dewey Bozella was finally exonerated after about a whopping 26 years. He spent nearly three decades in jail for a burglary that he did not commit. The case stemmed from a 1977 case in which a 92-year-old lady was killed. It turns out that there was practically no evidence stating that Bozella was guilty of the crime. Two other inmates however, had claimed that Bozella had committed the crime. Yet fingerprints at the murder scene did not even match his! So why was he locked up for 26 years? Because the inmates said he did it. In 1990, another trial was set for Bozella and he was convicted again! Only years later was he cleared.
