Glynn Ray Simmons , 71 , was exonerated after nearly 50 years in prison.

He was released from prison in July 2023 after a judge vacated his conviction and sentence and ordered a new trial.

The Edmond City Council voted without comment on Monday to settle the lawsuit.

The lawsuit alleges police falsified a report by stating a witness identified Simmons and co-defendant Don Roberts .
