British man Peter Sullivan, who spent 40 years in prison for a murder he did not commit, has spoken about the brutal treatment he endured at the hands of the police. Sullivan, 68, was recently exonerated after new DNA evidence proved another man committed the crime. He alleges that the Merseyside Police deceived and beat him into a false confession. According to Sullivan, officers beat him with batons in his cell and threatened to charge him with 35 other rapes if he did not cooperate. He lost his freedom, his mother, and his father during his imprisonment. His mother's dying wish was for him to continue fighting his case, as she knew he was innocent. Sullivan is now seeking an apology and compensation from the police for the wrongful conviction that cost him nearly four decades of his life.
