Man who says rape confession beaten out of him freed after 30 years

'CHICAGO — A man who says Chicago police tortured him until he confessed to a rape he didn’t commit was expected to walk out of an Illinois prison Wednesday after 30 years behind bars.

Stanley Wrice’s release from the Pontiac Correctional Center comes after Cook County Judge Richard Walsh overturned Wrice’s conviction Tuesday, saying officers lied about how they treated him.

The ruling was just the latest development in one of the darkest chapters of Chicago Police Department history, in which officers working under former Lt. Jon Burge were accused of torturing suspects into false confessions and torturing witnesses into falsely implicating people in crimes.
...
With his release, Wrice will join a number of men who in recent years have been released from prison because they were tortured into confessing at the hands of Burge’s men. Dozens of men — almost all of them black — have claimed that, starting in the 1970s, Burge and his officers beat or shocked them into confessing to crimes ranging from armed robbery to murder.'
