News And Media Coverage

We heartily commend the efforts of the Detroit Police Department and the planned improvements to the justice system outlined in their recent 56-page report. This represents a critical step toward reducing the incidence of wrongful convictions, such as the case of our client, Eric Anderson, who was wrongfully convicted of armed robbery in 2010 and served nine years before his release.

Our firm’s founder, Wolf Mueller, commented to Channel 7 WXYZ: “This to me is unprecedented. In Michigan, to have all the varied stakeholders come together, to actually try to do good.”

Eric Anderson is one of 43 people granted relief since 2017 in Wayne County. Wolf praised the effort, along with 25 key recommendations, including: improving accuracy in arrests with single-source identification, enhancing case management, better exploring alibi evidence, improving investigator communication, securing adequate funding, and investing in training and more counsel oversight.

Thank you to Simon Shaykhet and Channel 7 Detroit WXYZ for reporting on this crucial issue.

Mueller Law Firm was proud to support our friends in law enforcement at the annual Livonia Police Department Golf Outing held at Whispering Willows Golf Course on August 4.

The Oxford School District finally recognizes that the insurance company is putting its own financial interest above the district’s interest in resolving the civil cases arising out of the November 30, 2021, Oxford High School shooting tragedy. Mueller Law Firm clients are hopeful for a speedy and just resolution so they can move forward.

Mueller Law Firm is pleased to have been able to secure $1.75M compensation from the State of Michigan for Louis Wright, now 65, for his 35-year wrongful conviction for the rape of a young girl. With help from the Cooley Innocence Project and the Conviction Integrity Unit of the Michigan Attorney General’s Office, a DNA test in 2023 excluded Mr. Wright as the culprit. He was exonerated in November 2023 and was able to spend his first Christmas home with family since Ronald Reagan was president. A civil suit against the police detective who made up a “confession” is pending. MLF attorney, Wolf Mueller, said “We will get to the bottom of how this travesty of justice could have occurred, so it doesn’t happen in the future.”

Congratulations to WXYZ and its investigative team for its stellar journalism. Bad cops hurt good cops and need to be held accountable.

Mueller Law Firm clients are pleased that Judge Kwame Rowe left a sentence of life without parole on the table. This heinous crime destroyed so many lives.

Mueller Law Firm will seek justice and accountability for Jeff Titus, who spent the last 21 years in prison for a double murder he did not commit. What is the price for spending two decades in a cage for something you did not do?

From left to right: Rep. Steven Johnson, sponsor of HB 4286; Richard Phillips, who holds the dubious distinction of being the longest-serving wrongfully convicted individual in US history; David Moran, Director of the University of Michigan Innocence Clinic; Wolfgang Mueller, attorney representing 11 exonerees in litigation with the State of MI over compensation under the Wrongful Imprisonment Compensation Act.

Rep. Johnson’s House Bill 4286 provides $10M in much-needed funding to compensate exonerees.
