The Justice Department (er,taxpayers) will pay a man $140,000 for the three years he spent in jail. He was there even because AUSA Bruce Hinshelwood concealed exculpatory evidence. A federal judge took the unusual step of bypassing a retrial, and declared Lyons innocent.

And what happened to Bruce Hinshelwood? He was ordered to attend a one-day ethics workshop. I'm not kidding.

He is now in private practice.
