A 74-year-old Michigan man who was wrongfully convicted of the deaths of two hunters in 2022 reached a settlement this week with the accompanying dollar figure: $5.25 million. That's what Jeff Titus will be given to support him in his remaining years, but if you asked the man, I have a feeling he'd still tell you he would have preferred to not be railroaded into a murder conviction by cold case detectives and prosecutors who failed to allow him a fair defense, withholding key evidence that would have flipped his trial on its head.
