Charles Johnson, Larod Styles, Troshawn McCoy, and Lashawn Ezell were exonerated in 2017 of the murders of Khaled Ibrahim and Yousef Ali.

CHICAGO -- Attorneys for the city of Chicago are recommending a $50 million settlement with four men who were wrongfully convicted of a 1995 double murder and spent 20 years in prison before they were cleared.The City Council Finance Committee on Monday will vote on the proposed settlement with the so-called 'Marquette Park Four,' who were exonerated in 2017 in the robbery and murders of Khaled Ibrahim and Yousef Ali at a car dealership on the Southwest Side.

In 2017, Cook County prosecutors recommended vacating the men's convictions, after determining they could not meet their burden of proof if their cases were retried. Johnson and Styles were sentenced to life in prison for killing Ali and Ibrahim in a robbery at their car dealership at 75th and Western. They were accused of stealing two cars.
