The Justice Department has appealed a $101.7 million malicious prosecution judgment awarded last year to two men who spent decades in prison and the families of two others who died there for a murder they didn't commit. A federal judge in Massachusetts found the FBI responsible in July for framing the men for the 1965 slaying of a small-time thug. In the notice filed four days ahead of the appeal deadline, the Justice Department did not spell out its reasons for challenging the ruling.
