CENTREVILLE, Mich. (WOOD) — A man who spent 20 months in prison for lying about evidence in the Jodi Parrack murder investigation was cleared of all charges today.
It was a case Target 8 investigators brought to light last year.
With the stroke of a judge’s pen, Ray McCann is a new man.
“I think it does clear Ray’s name,” said Greg Swygert, clinical assistant professor of law at Northwestern Pritzker School of Law Center on Wrongful Conviction. “Unfortunately, when people Google his name this will still come up, but I think this is an official statement that Ray can show anyone that says, ‘My name is clear.’”
McCann spent nearly two years in prison for perjury in the 2007 murder of 10-year-old Jodi Parrack in Constantine. McCann was the investigator’s lead suspect.
