CHICAGO (AP) — Five men convicted and later cleared of the 1991 rape and murder of a suburban Chicago girl have reached a $40 million settlement in a civil lawsuit against the Illinois State Police, their attorneys said Wednesday.

The men, who came to be known as the “Dixmoor 5,” were teenagers when they were arrested in the death of Cateresa Matthews, a 14-year-old from Dixmoor. They spent a decade or more in prison before DNA evidence cleared them.
