The 100-year-old rape case in Duluth could get a review today.
The state Board of Pardons could vote on a posthumous pardon for Max Mason.
Mason was a black man while the victim was white.
Mason died in 1942.
Many legal experts have said the investigation at the time was flawed and was driven by racial bias.
Three other men suspected of being involved were lynched by a white mob.
The proposed pardon has the backing of many former state leaders.
