Leonard Allen Cure resisted arrest during a traffic stop, authorities say. He'd gotten $817,000 in compensation in August from Florida, where he'd been behind bars.

A man who spent more than 16 years in prison in Florida on a wrongful conviction was shot and killed Monday by a sheriff’s deputy in Georgia during a traffic stop, authorities and representatives said.

Leonard Allen Cure, 53, was identified by the Georgia Bureau of Investigation, which is reviewing the shooting.

    I really really hope someone gets the video of the stop released. That’s the only way there’s ever any accountability in these cases. Even then it can be an uphill battle.
