A Kansas man who spent 23 years in prison for a double murder he did not commit was granted more that $1.5 million in compensation under the State’s Mistaken Conviction Statute. The Kansas Attorney General’s office said Monday that LaMonte McIntyre of Kansas City, Kansas, also received a certificate of innocence as part of a resolution of a Mistaken-Conviction lawsuit filed last year. McIntyre was 17 in 1994 when he was arrested for the murder of 21 year old Doniel Quinn and 34 year old Donald Ewing, even though no physical evidence or motive tied him to the crimes.
