Two African American men wrongfully convicted of the rape and murder of an 11-year-old girl in the United States in 1983 have been awarded $US75 million in compensation.
The two men, Henry McCollum and Leon Brown, were exonerated in 2014 after DNA evidence linked a convicted murderer to the crime.
Both men, who were teenagers at the time, were successful in arguing their civil rights had been violated during the initial investigations, which lead to the wrongful convictions.
