AMENDED COMPLAINT against City of Tyler, Smith County, Eddie Clark, Eric Liptak, Douglas Collard,…

Kerry Max Cook’s amended complaint alleges that the City of Tyler, Smith County, and several officers framed him for a 1977 murder by fabricating evidence, coercing witnesses, and concealing proof implicating another man. He spent over 20 years on death row and nearly five decades clearing his name before being declared actually innocent in 2024. Cook seeks damages under federal civil rights laws for the misconduct.
