| 2025 |
In September 2025, the State of Oregon and the City of Coquille, Oregon, agreed to a total $14 million settlement with Nicholas McGuffin, who was wrongfully convicted and imprisoned for the manslaughter of his girlfriend. Fifteen-year-old Leah Freeman disappeared on June 28, 2000, and her body was found five weeks later. McGuffin, who had been dating Freeman, was arrested in 2010 and later found guilty of manslaughter. During post-conviction proceedings in 2015, it was revealed that the Oregon State Police forensic lab had failed to disclose DNA evidence found on Freeman’s shoe that belonged to another man. McGuffin served nine years of a ten-year sentence before a judge overturned his conviction. As part of the settlement, the Oregon State Police forensic lab agreed to pay $9 million, while the City of Coquille and its police department, which led the investigation, agreed to pay $5 million. |
