Two Brothers Awarded $75M for Wrongful Conviction of 1983 Rape, Murder of a Child

The jury also awarded McCollum and Brown $13 million in punitive damages. According to The Washington Post, the combined $75 million payout is the highest in U.S. history in a wrongful conviction case and is the largest personal injury award in North Carolina. McCollum and Brown, who have IQs in the 50’s, were both teenagers when law enforcement officers allegedly coerced them into confessing to a crime that they did not fully understand. McCollum was sentenced to death, while Brown was sentenced to life in prison. In 2014, the brothers were released from prison after the DNA of murderer Roscoe Artis placed him at the scene of the crime. McCollum and Brown received full pardons in 2015.
