Edwin Chandler spent nine years in prison after being wrongfully convicted of murder. Louisville metro government agreed to pay $8.5 million to settle a federal lawsuit filed by Mr. Chandler.
Nick Brustin, Chandler’s lead counsel, said: “We are pleased that the settlement recognizes that this was not just an innocent mistake but was the result of very serious misconduct. The city has done the right things in taking responsibility for a terrible act by one of its employees.”
Brustin said former Detective Mark Handy, first coerced Chandler into confessing by threatening to arrest his sister for harboring a fugitive and take away her children.
