52-year-old Wershe spent over thirty years behind bars after a drug conviction. He became an informant at just 14-years-old, making him the youngest in history! If you have seen the Hollywood Blockbuster then you might be familiar with Wershe, who in 1984, went with his father to a McDonald’s to talk with an FBI agent. That meeting changed his life and he became a cocaine dealer, got shot, and spent most of his young life behind bars.

Per WXYZ, in the lawsuit, Wershe claims that the FBI and Detroit police used him as an undercover informant, and instructed him to buy and sell drugs from dealers around Detroit. The “government grooming and indoctrination into criminality,” would continue even after he was shot! However, once Wershe was arrested, those cops and agents disappeared and Ricky was left to rot in prison, with no one to vouch for him.

1987, when he was just 18, he was sentenced to life in prison without parole. He was 18.

“The justice system hasn’t been fair to me over the last 33 years,” Wershe said at a press conference “But I think this needed to be done. … The people who did this to me need to be held accountable.”

“This is a unique case. … Our Constitution, our justice system, and God-given right to all humanity calls on this court to finally bring justice to a man whose life has been taken from him at the tender age of 14 all the way up to 51 years of age,” the lawsuit states.
