FILE - In this April 19, 2018, file photo, Paul Jenkins, one of two men whose convictions were for a 1994 murder, speaks at a Montana Innocence Project news conference in Missoula, Mont. Jenkins and co-defendant Freddie Joe Lawrence were convicted in the 1994 death of Donna Meagher, whose body was found west of Helena.

Federal lawsuits filed Tuesday, Aug. 27, 2019, by Jenkins and Lawrence allege investigators acted on a tip from a known liar, coerced a confession, coerced mentally unstable people to corroborate false evidence and failed to follow up on evidence that linked the case to another man whose DNA was eventually found on a rope near the victim's body.
