Boston Mayor Michelle Wu has apologized to 2 Black men wrongly accused in the 1989 murder of a white woman that coarsened divisions in a city long split along racial lines and renewed anger and suspicion at police by the Black community. She apologized at a news conference Wednesday to Alan Swanson and Willie Bennett for their wrongful arrests following the 1989 death of Carol Stuart, whose husband, Charles Stuart, had orchestrated her murder. Charles Stuart killed himself in 1990 after his brother confessed to helping hide the gun. The Boston Globe and an HBO documentary series has cast a new spotlight on the case.
