6:28Now PlayingTwo brothers in North Carolina are being awarded $75 million after being wrongfully convicted of raping and murdering an 11-year-old girl.
Maintaining their innocence since 1983, Henry McCollum and Leon Brown have been given $31 million each for each year they spent in jail.
In addition, they are receiving $13 million in punitive damages and $9 million from a settlement with the Robeson County Sheriff's Office.
The brothers say authorities took advantage of their intellectual disability and coerced them into their confession, insisting they did not understand the signed confessions at the time.
The $75 million settlement is the largest sum of money awarded to a wrongfully convicted person in North Carolina history.
