Kyle Unger filed a statement of claim in 2011 against former Manitoba Crown prosecutor George Dangerfield, who was responsible for three other murder convictions that were eventually overturned. A spokesperson for Manitoba's justice department confirmed Monday afternoon that an out-of-court settlement had been reached. The suit was filed against Dangerfield, the RCMP and a number of other federal and provincial justice officials. Caitlin MacGregor, press secretary for Manitoba Justice Minister Cliff Cullen, responded to an email request for an interview with the minister by saying, "The terms of this agreement are confidential." CBC News has asked the RCMP and federal Justice Minister David Lametti for comment.
