N.C. governor pardons man who had murder convictions vacated
RALEIGH (AP) North Carolina Gov. Roy Cooper granted a pardon of innocence Friday to a man imprisoned for two decades before his two murder convictions were vacated more than four years ago by a trial judge.
The pardon means Darryl Anthony Howard, who is now 58, can apply to the North Carolina Industrial Commission for compensation of up to $750,000 for his wrongful convictions.
“It is important to continue our efforts to reform the justice system and to acknowledge wrongful convictions,” Cooper said in a news release.
The governor’s office said this pardon of innocence was Cooper’s sixth since taking office in early 2017.
