Mr Henry McCollum holds a framed copy of his pardon before a hearing on compensation by the state for his wrongful conviction on Sept. 2, 2015 in Raleigh, N.C. McCollum was the state's longest serving death row inmate when he was released in 2014 after three decades in prison after being wrongfully convicted in a girl's death. In this 2014 file photo, Leon Brown speaks with a reporter at the Maury Correctional Institution in Maury, N.C., about his incarceration. Lawyers representing two former North Carolina sheriff's deputies agreed on Friday, May 14, 2021, to a $9 million settlement with Brown and his half brother Henry McCollum, who spent decades behind bars after being wrongfully convicted in the 1983 killing of an 11-year-old girl. https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-9583089/2-men-wrongfully-sent-death-row-awarded-75M-damages.html?ito=social-facebook

Raleigh attorney Elliot Abrams said: 'The first jury to hear all of the evidence including the wrongly suppressed evidence found Henry and Leon to be innocent, found them to have been demonstrably and excruciatingly wronged, and has done what the law can do to make it right at this late date.' Brothers McCollum and Brown have pursued the civil case against law enforcement members since 2015, arguing that their civil rights were violated during the interrogations that led to their convictions. The two were released from prison in 2014 after DNA evidence that pointed to a convicted murderer exonerated them.
