A man cheered as a hero for jumping onto a New York subway track to rescue a stranger has sued a lawyer he claims manipulated him into an unfair contract meant to profit on his fame. Wesley Autrey Sr.'s lawsuit says the contract is a "one-sided agreement" that gives former prosecutor Diane L. Kleiman and her business partner exclusive rights to exploit his name and reputation and gives them ownership of intellectual property rights to his story.
