Original Article Cleared man to get $1.4 million from county Christina Leonard The Arizona Republic Apr. 6, 2005 12:00 AM Maricopa County supervisors today are scheduled to approve a $1.4 million settlement with Ray Krone, the exonerated death-row inmate once known as the "Snaggletooth Killer." Krone, who lives in Pennsylvania, said Tuesday that he's glad this chapter in his ordeal is coming to an end. But he's not entirely satisfied. "Material things don't make up for the simple right and wrong," he said. He said those directly responsible - police officers, prosecutors - have never expressed remorse to him: "We all make mistakes. But you look a person in the eye, you shake their hand and you say you're sorry. They've never attempted to do that." Krone, 48, was sentenced to death in 1992 on testimony that his bite matched a mark on the victim. DNA evidence exonerated him a decade later. Krone had filed a $100 million federal lawsuit against the Maricopa County Attorney's Office and Phoenix police, claiming his verdict was a result of police incompetence, fraud, misconduct by prosecutors and perjury. The suit involving Phoenix is ongoing. The county will pay $722,000 of the $1.4 million settlement, and insurance will cover the rest. County officials had no comment Tuesday. Krone, released in 2002, said that after so long in prison, he's used to getting by without much. But he does plan to buy his folks some property and splurge on a home for himself. He also wants to go back to college.
