A man who was convicted of killing two Michigan hunters in 1990 and spent nearly 21 years in prison has agreed to a $5.25 million settlement, according to a lawyer. The settlement follows the man’s claim that evidence was not properly disclosed before or during his trial, which he says could have helped his defense. The lawyer said the agreement comes after the man argued that police failed to provide materials that may have been relevant to the case. The reports describe the case as a wrongful conviction in which the man served a lengthy sentence before obtaining relief. Multiple outlets covering the same development report the settlement amount and the central allegation that withheld or improperly handled evidence affected the fairness of the original proceedings. The accounts do not provide additional detail in the excerpts about which specific evidence was at issue or about the precise procedural outcome that led to the man’s release. Overall, the reports agree on the key terms: the wrongful conviction, the nearly two decades of incarceration, and the $5.25 million settlement tied to alleged evidence-disclosure failures by police.
