A Michigan man is suing the struggling car rental company Hertz after it delayed releasing a receipt that would have proved he was not involved in a serious crime.

Herbert Alford was convicted of second degree murder in 2016 for a murder of Michael Adams. It was in 2011 but the state convicted him on faulty evidence and he spent five years in the iron college for that.

Michael Adams lost his life to senseless violence.

He wasn't involved in the murder and the state released him. He is now trying to reclaim his freedom and clear his name. 

This incident happened in Lansing. 

Alford was at the Capitol Region International Airport in Ingram County, about seven miles away from where the shooting occurred.

Alford, 47 was convicted of second degree murder in 2016 of the 23 year old man.

He was found guilty of shooting Adams after an argument over a marijuana sell in a shopping plaza parking lot in South Lansing back in 2011.

It's unclear to why the state charged him. 

His attorneys asked Hertz to produce proof of his rental after he was arrested in 2015 but they couldn't find it in time. It wasn't until 2018 when the car rental company found the receipt. It took two additional years before he was fully exonerated in 2020. 

Now he is suing the company for failing to keep him from being out the iron college.

Hertz Rental Cars is being sued by a wrongfully convicted man.

"There is no question that he would have avoided going to prison had they produced this documentation," his attorneys said.

The attorneys told the New York Times, "This man wasn't asking to produce all their records for six months. He just wanted his receipt."

"We can't put a dollar amount on year of your life and your reputation." 

Hertz responded to the allegations by saying that they're deeply sadden but they have no malice in what happened.

"While we were unable to find the historic rental record from 2011 when it was requested in 2015, we continued our good faith efforts to located it," said spokeswoman Lauren Luster. "With advances in data search in the years following, we were able to locate the rental record in 2018 and promptly provided it."

Alford will be compensated by the state of Michigan for wrongful convictions. He still will have to ask the governor, Gretchen Whitmer for a complete removal of his criminal record.
