Kansas wrongful conviction lawsuit reaches $12.5M settlement

A local government in Kansas has agreed to pay $12.5 million to a man and his mother after he spent 23 years in prison for a double murder he did not commit.

The Unified Government of Wyandotte County and Kansas City, Kansas, approved the settlement Thursday.

The government said in a statement Friday that it admits no guilt in the wrongful conviction and two life sentences of Lamonte McIntyre in the mid 1990s.

McIntyre was freed in 2017 after a prosecutor asked the court to vacate his convictions and drop all charges.
