Virginia governor OKs paying ‘Norfolk Four’ $3.5 million
Gov. Ralph Northam has signed legislation to provide nearly $3.5 million in compensation to the "Norfolk Four," the U.S. Navy sailors who were wrongfully convicted and imprisoned for a 1997 rape and murder. Northam last week signed identical House and Senate bills to compensate Danial Williams, Joseph Dick, Derek Tice and Eric Wilson, who were wrongly convicted in 1999 of raping and killing 18-year-old Michelle Bosko.
