Two brothers wrongfully convicted of 1987 murder are seeking over two-million-dollars each from the Wisconsin Claims Board.
This follows testimony yesterday by Robert and David Bintz, who both spent more than 20 years falsely incarcerated. The two were exonerated in 2024 after DNA evidence identified William Hendricks as the likely perpetrator. A claim was filed in February by the brothers seeking compensation above the state’s 25-thousand-dollar cap. A decision is expected in weeks, with the case potentially sent to lawmakers.
