US man jailed 17 yrs due to lookalike wins $1-million compensation
A 42-year-old American has been awarded over $1 million in compensation after being wrongly jailed for 17 years for a robbery likely committed by his lookalike. Richard Anthony was freed this June after Ricky Amos was found and robbery victims couldn't differentiate between the two. Amos also denied the crime and was not tried due to the passage of time.
