Most of the money would go to Ryan Ferguson , whose legal battle with Minnesota -based St. Paul Fire and Marine Insurance Co. in Missouri 's courts started in 2017 , about six weeks after he won a federal lawsuit against six Columbia police officers.

Ferguson was convicted in 2004 of killing Columbia Daily Tribune sports editor Kent Heitholt but was released from prison in 2013 after a state appeals court panel concluded that he hadn't received a fair trial.
