Marla Aufmuth/Getty Images for Massachusetts Conference For Women(BOSTON) Boston Mayor Michelle Wu publicly apologized to two Black men who were wrongfully accused in the 1989 murder of a pregnant white woman. Willie Bennett and Alan Swanson were initially implicated in the murder of 30-year-old Carol Stuart, after her husband, Charles Stuart, told the police that a Black man attacked and shot them. Police later said that Charles was responsible for orchestrating his wife s murder and collecting insurance money after her death. Bennett was arrested and jailed before both men were cleared. Charles Stuart died by suicide in 1990 after learning police were eying him in the case. The naming of Bennett and Swanson as suspects in the case caused outrage in Boston s Black community as many felt the police had unfairly targeted Black residents during their search for the murderer. "I am so sorry for the pain that you have carried for so many years," Wu said during her apology
