Two Brooklyn men wrongly imprisoned for over three decades in the arson deaths of a mother and her five children will each receive more than $15 million in settlements from the state and city, officials said Friday. 
 
 Amaury Villalobos, 67, and William Vasquez, 66, were convicted of arson and murder in 1982 for the fire at a Park Slope home that killed six, New York City Comptroller Scott Stringer’s office said. 
 
 They received sentences of 25-years-to-life and each served 32 years behind bars for the deadly 1980 fire.

 But the Brooklyn District Attorney’s Conviction Review Unit vacated their convictions in December 2015 after discovering the case was based on bogus testimony and now-debunked investigative methods, prosecutors said at the time of their exoneration. 
 
 A third man convicted in the fatal blaze, Raymond Mora, was cleared posthumously. He suffered a fatal heart attack while behind bars in 1989. 
 
 Hannah Quick, who owned the building that burned, repeatedly gave contradictory statements — including what started the fire, prosecutors learned when reviewing the men’s conviction.

 Quick, who had a felony record and acted as an NYPD informant, peddled drugs out of the building.

 When Quick was on her deathbed in 2014, she told her family that she lied to police. 
 
 The fire marshal who first investigated was also to blame — because he based his findings on outdated theories about fire, according to prosecutors.

 Officials said each will receive $9.7 million from the city and $5.75 million from the state for their legal claims — a total of nearly $31 million.

 “The criminal justice system repeatedly failed him until Ken Thompson came along,” Rudin said. “Ken Thompson is the only district attorney in New York who has ever aggressively re-investigated suspicious, old convictions to see if they should be overturned.” 
 
 Vasquez and Villalobos’ case “represents the longest period of incarceration for any conviction vacated” by the review unit, Stringer’s office said in a statement. 
 
 “Following a careful and thorough review of the facts of this case, my office was able to reach a settlement with the claimants that will serve the best interests of all parties,” Stringer said. 
 
 “We have reached an agreement that recognizes the years these men spent incarcerated and allows them and their families closure, while being prudent in fulfilling my office’s fiscal responsibility to the City of New York.” ||||| Two men who served 32 years in jail for a 1980 Park Slope arson and murder they didn’t commit will receive a $30.9 million settlement from the state and city. 
 
 Amaury Villalobos and William Vasquez will each get $9.7 million from the city, Comptroller Scott Stringer announced Friday. They are expected to receive another $5.75 million from the state, Vasquez’s attorney Joel Rubin told The Post. 
 
 “I’m just hoping that this money will help him somewhat pick up the pieces of his life after what the system did to him,” Rubin said. His client declined to comment. 
 
 The two men’s crusade for justice was championed by late Brooklyn District Attorney Kenneth Thompson, who said the “case never should have been brought.” They have the dubious distinction of serving the longest prison terms among the wrongfully convicted in the district. 
 
 “I believe late District Attorney Ken Thompson would be pleased with our efforts to reach a settlement with Mr. Villalobos and Mr. Vasquez,” Stringer said. 
 
 The men were in their late 20s and early 30s when they were arrested for setting fire to a Park Slope building that killed mom Elizabeth Kinsey, 27, and her five kids. 
 
 Villalobos, 67, and Vasquez, 66, had recently been paroled on sentences of 25-year-to-life when their convictions were overturned in December 2015. 
 
 “I finally feel today that if I die tonight, I will be able to go to my grave in peace, knowing that justice has been served,” Vasquez, who is now blind, said at his exoneration proceeding. 
 
 The only eyewitness, building owner Hannah Quick, admitted to lying on her deathbed. Experts eventually determined that the fire was accidental. 
 
 “We have reached an agreement that recognizes the years these men spent incarcerated and allows them and their families closure, while being prudent in fulfilling my office’s fiscal responsibility to the City of New York,” Stringer said of the settlement. 
 
 A third man who was convicted, Raymon Mora, died in prison. His family is still negotiating his claim. 
 
 A spokesman from the state attorney general’s office declined to comment on the settlements.
– After serving 32 years behind bars for arson and murders they didn't commit, Amaury Villalobos and William Vasquez are finally getting what one official calls "closure." The two men wrongly convicted following a 1980 fire that killed a mother and her five children in a Brooklyn townhouse will each receive $9.7 million from New York City, plus an additional $5.75 million from the state, NYC comptroller Scott Stringer says, per the New York Times. The pair served 32 years in prison before being released on parole in 2012. Three years later, the Brooklyn District Attorney's Office ruled the fire an accident—possibly caused by residents burning heroin—and said the owner of the townhouse, a drug dealer, had lied about the men's involvement. "We have reached an agreement that recognizes the years these men spent incarcerated and allows them and their families closure," Stringer said in a statement Friday, noting the men's case "represents the longest period of incarceration for any conviction vacated" by the Brooklyn DA’s Conviction Review Unit. "It's a significant settlement," but "this is a case where the system completely failed these men," says Vasquez's lawyer. He tells the New York Post he hopes the money will allow Vasquez to "pick up the pieces of his life." The family of a third man, Raymond Mora, who was also exonerated of the crime following his death in prison in 1989, has not yet settled their claim with the city, reports the New York Daily News. (This man is getting just $175,000 over his wrongful imprisonment of 13 years.)
