Walter Ogrod, who was exonerated after spending 28 years in prison for the 1988 slaying of 4-year-old Barbara Jean Horn, has agreed to a $9.1 million settlement of a federal lawsuit he filed against the City of Philadelphia, Ogrod’s lawyers announced Friday.

In June 2020, a Philadelphia Common Pleas Court judge overturned Ogrod’s conviction after the District Attorney’s Office agreed it was tainted by critical flaws — including a coerced confession, key evidence withheld by police and prosecutors, and unreliable testimony from jailhouse snitches.
