A Long Island man who spent 17 years in prison for murdering his parents before he was exonerated in 2008 has settled a wrongful-imprisonment suit against the state for $3.375 million.
Martin Tankleff was convicted of brutally killing his adoptive parents, Seymour and Arlene Tankleff, in their tony Belle Terre home in 1988 when he was only 17, based on a confession he later said was coerced.
Tankleff maintained that crooked Suffolk County cops managed to extract the admission by falsely telling him that his father was still conscious and blamed him for the attack.
He was hit with a 50-year sentence in 1990 but an appellate court tossed his conviction in 2007 after his legal team punched gaping holes in the case against him.
His lawyers pinned the slayings on his father's estranged former business partner, Jerry Steuerman, who has denied any role.
Tankleff, now 42 and an aspiring lawyer, still has pending federal civil cases against the Suffolk County cops that could fetch him a far larger settlement.
