Fairbanks Four Freed As State Accepts Deal And Throws Out Indictments | RED POWER MEDIA: Gov. Bill Walker released a statement saying he was pleased that the state and attorneys for the Fairbanks Four had reached a settlement that satisfied concerns from the court.
The four men were sentenced in 1997, for the fatal beating of 15-year-old John Hartman and had been behind bars ever since.
Alaska Native leaders have long advocated for their release, saying the convictions were racially motivated and emblematic of how Alaska Natives have been treated by the justice system.
