Man seeks reparations for decades in jail after small theft
Stephen Dennison, now 60, appeals to the Supreme Court for 115000 dollars for 34 years spent in state institutions for stealing five dollars worth of candy. His lawyers argue the extra years were unconstitutional and deny him a jury trial. Dennison, once deemed mentally defective, was released in 1960 after his brothers pressed for reevaluation.
