in the 1965 assassination of Malcolm X has filed a $40 million lawsuit against New York City for the two decades he spent in prison for a notorious crime he did not commit.
An additional complaint was filed on behalf of the estate of Khalil Islam, a second man who was wrongly convicted in the assassination.
