US man jailed due to lookalike seeks $1.1-mn compensation
A 42-year-old US man has sought over $1.1 million in compensation after being wrongly jailed for 17 years for a robbery his lookalike may have committed. Richard Anthony Jones came to know about his lookalike Ricky Amos when prison inmates started confusing the two. Jones was convicted of aggravated robbery in 1999 following wrongful identification in a witness lineup.
