L.A to pay $24 million to 2 men who spent decades in jail for murders they did not commit
Register won his freedom in 2013 after lawyers and students from Loyola Law School doubted a key prosecution witness’s testimony.
He was awarded $16.7 million by the Los Angeles City Council on Tuesday. It is the largest settlement in an individual civil rights case in the city’s history, according to reports.
Lisker, who was released from prison in 2009 after a Los Angeles Times investigation into his conviction, will walk away with $7.6 million.
Though their cases were unrelated, both men maintained that detectives ignored evidence that proved their innocence.
