A judge has ordered the District of Columbia to pay $13.2 million to a man who served 28 years in prison based on flawed, overstated FBI testimony regarding forensic hair evidence. Santae A. Tribble, 55, was put on trial for the 1978 killing of a taxi driver in Southeast Washington, DC. In the trial leading up to Tribble's January 1980 conviction, an FBI forensics examiner testified that Tribble's hair matched those found in a stocking at the crime scene, saying that it would be a "1 in 10 million" chance that the hairs belonged to someone else. Tribble was exonerated in 2012, after court-ordered DNA testing confirmed his hair did not match any of the 13 hairs found at the scene of the crime. The hairs had come from three other people and a dog. Tribble’s “journey of injustice subjected [him] to all the horror, degradation, and threats to personal security and privacy inherent in prison life, each heightened by his youth, actual innocence, and life sentence,” wrote DC Superior Court Judge John M. Mott in his opinion, released on Friday, according to the Washington Post.
