After the pair spent decades in jail for their suspected involvement in the 1965 shooting, the jury will hear from 83-year-old Muhammad Aziz and the family of the late Khalil Islam, who died in 2018, worth a collective $36 million. Following a nearly two-year probe by their lawyers and the Manhattan DA, both men were cleared in November after a string of doubts raised by historians and legal experts over inconsistencies in the lawsuit that resulted in their conviction being reversed. Officials in New York have now decided to pay $26 million for the unlawful convictions, with the state expected to fork over an additional $10 million.
