When six people went to prison for the 1985 rape and murder of a 68-year-old Nebraska woman, county officials figured they had put the gruesome high-profile case behind them. But after DNA evidence exonerated all six of the accused in 2008, the rural farming county just south of Lincoln found itself facing a new problem - a $28 million federal judgment that could force officials to file for bankruptcy. "I just hate the thought of them holding the citizens accountable for that money," said Jurgens. "It wasn't really any of our faults. But where else can you pull the money from? It's not like you can have a bake sale." (AP Photo/Nati Harnik)
