Sucks to be you: Jailed 23 years, NY man is freed, has heart attack

[BIV]

NEW YORK (AP) — A New York City man whose murder conviction was overturned after 23 years in prison has suffered a heart attack on his second day of freedom.

David Ranta's lawyer tells The New York Times (http://nyti.ms/102uUVo ) the former inmate had a serious heart attack Friday night and is being treated at a New York hospital.

Ranta walked out of jail Thursday after a judge threw out his conviction in the 1990 killing of a Brooklyn rabbi.

Brooklyn prosecutors had recently concluded Ranta's prosecution in the death of Rabbi Chaskel Werzberger was fatally flawed.

Werzberger was killed by a bandit fleeing a botched robbery. One witness said a police lineup that helped convict Ranta had been rigged.

Ranta is 58. He told reporters Thursday that his new freedom was emotionally overwhelming.

Serious heart attack? As opposed to a light-hearted attack.

Sucks to be him... 3 days earlier and it's the state's problem, i doubt he had time/money to get health insurance so now he gets a nice medical bill on top of it all.

Thanks Obama

So what happens to that dirty cop/cops who sent an innocent man to jail?
