Darrell Siggers

34 years
Darrell Siggers was convicted in 1984 of a Detroit murder based primarily on eyewitness identifications from two men who were far away, in poor lighting, and under the influence of drugs and alcohol. There was no murder weapon recovered, and the forensic evidence linking the crime to Siggers’s apartment was circumstantial and disputed. The case relied heavily on unreliable eyewitness testimony despite significant credibility issues. Siggers was ultimately exonerated after the evidence against him was undermined and the reliability of the identifications was called into question.
