Man falsely confessed to rape under alleged torture by the police, by a squad known for its alleged use of torture to extract false confessions in several cases. Man has now been released from prison with verdict vacated after 30 years in prison, but he may be re-tried.

Thank you.

I wonder if he were retried and found guilty if he would be sentenced to time served.
