Description

This file photo from Nicholas McGuffin's 2010 trial shows McGuffin conferring with his defense attorney, Shaun McCrea. He was accused of killing Leah Freeman, a 15-year-old girl who went missing June 28, 2000. McGuffin served nine years in prison for the killing, though he was never tied to the crime through DNA, physical evidence or eyewitnesses.

A man whom a judge this year declared innocent in the 2000 killing of a Coquille teen received a total of $14 million to settle his wrongful conviction claims, according to records filed in U.S. District Court in Portland this week.
