Louisville is paying $3.8 million to settle a wrongful-conviction case involving Keith West and two manslaughter convictions from 1997. West had sued former Louisville Police Detective Mark Handy, who pleaded guilty in 2021 to tampering with physical evidence in connection with West’s convictions. The settlement is the latest in a series of cases tied to Handy’s misconduct. The payment resolves the case without further litigation over West’s claims. The available information did not specify the settlement’s terms beyond the amount.
