In 2001, Detective Thomas Thowsen was involved in the wrongful conviction of Kristin Lobato for a murder she did not commit. A federal jury found that Thowsen fabricated evidence and inflicted emotional distress on Lobato, leading to her wrongful imprisonment for nearly 16 years. In December 2024, the jury awarded Lobato over $34 million in damages. Thowsen, now retired, faced significant public scrutiny following the verdict.
