A | OKLAHOMA CITY -- An Oklahoma judge on Tuesday exonerated a man who spent 30 years in prison for a 1987 rape and burglary, after post-conviction DNA testing from a rape kit showed he did not commit the crime.Pontotoc County District Judge Steven Kessinger issued a final order that vacates Perry Lott's conviction and permanently dismisses the case. “I have never lost hope that this day would come,” Lott, 61, said in a statement. "I had faith that the truth would prevail, even after 35 long years.“I can finally shut this door and move on with my life.”Lott was released from prison in 2018 after the DNA results first came to light, but only after agreeing to a deal with former District Attorney Paul Smith to modify his sentence. The agreement allowed Lott to leave prison and remain free while his motion to vacate was litigated. At the time, Smith said the DNA evidence did not exclude Lott as a suspect.But earlier this year, the Innocence Project, which helped to free Lott, approached newly elected District Attorney Erik Johnson, who reviewed the case and agreed the conviction should be vacated.“Five years ago, all evidence pointed to his innocence, but he was denied justice,” Innocence Project Senior Staff Attorney Adnan Sultan said in a statement. "We are grateful to District Attorney Erik Johnson for his commitment to righting this wrong.”Oklahoma state law requires a conviction to be vacated in order for a wrongfully convicted person to be able to seek up to $175,000 in compensation from the state.Lott's case occurred around the same time and in the same county as the convictions of Tommy Ward and Karl Fontenot, whose cases have come under intense scrutiny and have been the subject of numerous books, including John Grisham's “The Innocent Man,” which he produced into a six-part documentary on Netflix. A federal judge ordered Fontenot released, but Ward remains in prison.The books and documentary also feature the high-profile exoneration of Ron Williamson and Dennis Fritz, who both were convicted in the same county for the 1982 killing of Ada waitress Debra Sue Carter. That case featured the same cast of investigators and prosecutors, along with the same jailhouse informant who testified against Ward and Fontenot. Williamson at one point came within days of being executed. Both were later freed.。《北京时间1月14日晨报》据外媒Polygon报道,儿童图书发行商Chooseco已对Netflix提起诉讼,指控后者侵犯了该公司出版的“惊险十字路口”系列图书商标权。根据官方投诉,Netflix自2016年以来一直在与Chooseco协商该系列产品的授权。但Chooseco表示,Netflix从未真正获得使用该商标的许可。上个月,电影《黑镜:潘达斯尼基》上映后,Chooseco向法院提起诉讼,指控Netflix未经公司授权,擅自从《惊悚片之旅》中借用创意,并要求2500万美元赔偿。这不是Chooseco与Netflix的首次谈判。在诉讼中,Chooseco说在电影播出之前,公司已经多次向Netflix发送“立即停止通知”。

B | 当然,这并不是Netflix在2018年遇到的唯一的商标侵权诉讼。10月,撒旦神庙起诉了Netflix,声称在Netflix的电视连续剧“Sabrina的恐怖冒险”中出现了一个教会独有雕像的复制品。目前尚不清楚这些起诉是否最终会构成实际诉讼,或者当事人是否可以选择庭外和解。

C | Netflix拒绝就这起诉讼置评。
