Two brothers pardoned after decades on death row
North Carolina Governor Pat McCrory granted pardons to Henry McCollum and Leon Brown for the 1983 murder of 11-year-old Sabrina Buie. The action clears their names, provides up to 750000 dollars in compensation, and follows DNA evidence pointing to another suspect. The brothers were released after a judge vacated their convictions.
