Two North Carolina brothers were awarded $750,000 each in compensation Wednesday for the three decades they were wrongfully imprisoned in the killing of an 11-year-old girl. Henry McCollum, 51, appeared calm as a North Carolina commission formally awarded the money to him and half brother Leon Brown, 47, during a hearing. The brothers' lawyer said Brown is in the hospital, suffering from health problems including post-traumatic stress disorder, and did not attend. McCollum and Brown were released last September after a judge threw out their convictions, citing new DNA evidence that points to another man in the 1983 rape and killing of Sabrina Buie. http://apne.ws/1iiB9Vx http://bit.ly/1fJ5yqZ This video was produced by Wochit using http://wochit.com
