The Case that won't go away 43 yrs. and counting, Bernard Whitehurst Jr.

On December 2, 1975, Bernard Whitehurst Jr. was murdered by the Montgomery Police Department after being mistaken for a robbery suspect.  MPD said Mr. Whitehurst Jr. ran & fired shots at them, which was a lie.  The Montgomery Police Department planted a gun on Mr. Whitehurst that they had confiscated in another case, as proven by the gun's serial numbers.  In the months following Mr. Whitehurst's death, many city officials and police officers resigned, including former Mayor James Robinson, Montgomery Public Safety Director Ed Wright and three officers in the department.

It wasn't until 2012 that the city of Montgomery formally apologized for the murder of Mr. Whitehurst, and placed a plaque across the street from Montgomery City Hall in his honor.  The family was never compensated for their loss, as current Alabama Attorney General Luther Strange said that the city could not use public funds for that purpose in a case where there had been no guilty verdicts.
