Fox News
Thomas Rhodes, 64, is suing a former Twin Cities-area coroner and several others over his wrongful homicide conviction for his wife's 1996 death on Green Lake.
The lawsuit seeks unspecified damages.
Rhodes was convicted of first- and second-degree murder in his wife’s death, which occurred during a boat ride on Green Lake in Spicer, Minnesota, in 1996. He was sentenced to life in prison. Last year, he became the first person freed from prison through Minnesota's new conviction review unit.
