芝加哥市议会10月14日审议2.61亿美元和解案 涉及16名与前警探格瓦拉案件相关的冤案当事人
据芝加哥本地媒体10月14日报道，芝加哥市议会定于周三（10月14日）审议一项2.61亿美元的和解方案，对象为16名与前芝加哥警探雷纳尔多·格瓦拉经办案件有关、其谋杀定罪后被推翻的人士。若获通过，这将成为美国金额最大的错误定罪和解案之一。
据报道，市法律部门计划将和解款分两年支付。市议员雷蒙德·洛佩斯（第15区）表示，他与另外12名议员已要求市首席律师重新审视和解政策，议会也就和解款是否应分期支付、是否应附加条件展开辩论。
Chicago Council to Weigh $261 Million Settlement for 16 People Exonerated in Guevara Cases
Chicago local media reported on October 14 that the Chicago City Council is expected to vote on Wednesday, October 14, on a proposed $261 million settlement for 16 people whose murder convictions were vacated in cases tied to former Chicago police detective Reynaldo Guevara. If approved, it would be among the largest wrongful-conviction settlements in the country.
The city's Department of Law plans to distribute the settlement over two years rather than in a single payment, according to the report. Alderman Raymond Lopez of the 15th Ward said he and 12 other aldermen had asked the city's top attorney to reconsider settlement policy, and the proposal has prompted debate over whether such payouts should be made in installments and whether recipients should face conditions.
