The city’s legal department is proposing that Winnipeg pay $7 million to settle lawsuits filed by three First Nations men who were wrongfully convicted of the 1973 slaying of a restaurant worker.
The settlement aims to address the decades-long miscarriage of justice and provide compensation to the men affected by this wrongful conviction. Details of the proposal and next steps are expected to be discussed in the coming weeks.
