FILE - In this May 6, 2020, file photo, a Hertz car rental is closed during the coronavirus pandemic in Paramus, N.J. Two investment firms are looking to take at least a controlling stake in rental car company Hertz for up to $4.2 billion and help it emerge from bankruptcy protection. The evidence from Hertz was finally obtained in 2018, leading to Herbert Alford's exoneration in Ingham County last year. Alford filed a lawsuit against Hertz on Tuesday, although the case will be slowed by the company's bankruptcy reorganization. The Hertz receipt showed Alford was renting a car at a Lansing-area airport around the time that Adams was shot, White said. The conviction was thrown out and charges were finally dropped in 2020, after Alford had served nearly five years in prison and jail.

DETROIT – A judge has struck down portions of a Michigan towing law as unconstitutional after low-income Detroit residents shared extraordinary stories of high fees and frustration about the whereabouts of their vehicles. The decision by U.S. District Judge Judith Levy could force changes in a law that's viewed as favorable to the towing industry. There was no maximum deadline to report a towed vehicle under the law, attorney Jason Katz said Wednesday. The law also required vehicle owners to pay any towing and storage fees before getting a court hearing to challenge a car's impoundment. While the case only involved Detroit, Levy's decision could be applied elsewhere in Michigan, Katz said.
