Desmond Ricks spent 25 years behind bars and was released in 2017
Ricks was convicted in 1992 for fatally shooting a friend outside a restaurant but continued to maintain his innocence
 He was vindicated after gun experts and University of Michigan law students helped prove his innocence 
On Tuesday, Ricks won a $7.5 million settlement by the city of Detroit 
Ricks claimed police switched the bullets to frame him for the murder
The bullets that were used in the fatal shooting did not resemble the bullets examined at the trial decades earlier 
 During depositions in the lawsuit, even the city's expert acknowledged that the bullet analysis by the police lab decades ago was flat-out wrong
