..."“I am so sorry for the pain that you have carried for so many years. What was done to you was unjust, unfair, racist and wrong and this apology is long overdue,” Wu said to Swanson and members of Bennett’s family, who stood in for him at the announcement.
Swanson and Bennett were both investigated as suspects and publicly tied to the crime after Stuart said that a Black man hijacked his car as he and his wife were leaving a hospital in the city and robbed the couple before shooting and killing Carol.

Though neither Swanson nor Bennett were ultimately charged (Stuart’s brother, Matthew, confessed he knew his brother was responsible and helped him hide the gun) the incident inflamed racial tensions in the city. In the aftermath of the case, the city launched “a systemic campaign targeting black men in Mission Hill and across our neighborhoods,” Wu said.

The apology after a sweeping investigation by the Boston Globe alongside an HBO documentary shined a new light on the case."

As she should but she is just as much a racist as the ones that wrongly accused this guy. Recent activities have shown that and she is perpetuating it.
