DNA proves man's innocence after 28 years in jail Quote:
|
He's going to sue but it is going to be settle outside of court. Even then, what amount of money can amount to the time spent in prison when you are surrounded by murders and rapists. Even though this guy was innocent, the prison system has a messed up morale code where child-murders and rapists get treated the worst. How can you give back 28 years to a man? How can you give back all the shit he would have endured in prison for being a child rapist? How can you give back a man his life? |
sadly this happens all too frequently many states are abolishing the death penalty because too many people are found to be innocent Illinois put a moratorium on it after the governor found out over half those on death row were proven to be innocent due to DNA there's another famous case where a man (Frank Lee Smith) died in prison from cancer while fighting for his innocence, it was proven after he died that he was innocent i think all states in the US pay have reparation laws for circumstances like these, and among other reasons im not exactly certain if he can sue |

Forensic DNA technology has been around for atleast 15 years and that is why in the 90's you saw a large number of people being exonerated through DNA testing. Now a days, it is really quite rare to have a case like this popping up. The injustice in this guys case is why it took ~15 years to have his DNA finally tested when the technology was there a long time ago. The testing should have been done years ago and he should already be a free man. As such, he's gonna get paiiiiiid http://www.orchidfootwear.com/news/w...nPhoto450w.jpg |
wow. I wonder how much he'll get |
i hope he gets shit load of money and education and a career, i really feel bad for him. |
according to google hes 52. |
How old is this man? And how did he end up being the one wrongly accused? Did he just look like the real rapist? Was his DNA similar to the real rapist? Was he completely a stranger and innocent to the incident and just bad luck? Or was he a part of the incident somehow, but just didn't do the actual crime so he's off the hook? I don't get it. |

No amount of money can make up for what this guy has been through. |

Was it completely random by chance this guy got tagged? Why couldn't it have been you or me? Or the guy down the street? That's basically what I'm asking. |
That is brutal. Poor guy. |

I wonder what the victim thinks about all this now? She is 39yrs old.. |
being in jail is a full time job all the time job so he will get paid 28yrs x 35$/hr * 24hrs/day * 365days/year i ignored inflation and interest Ohio owes him $8 584 800 taxable dollars that amount of money will bring him justice. |
how did the preserve the dna for 30 years? they put the semen in the fridge and hope that in the future there will be dna technology? |

Under federal law, compensation would be $50,000 per year of incarceration. http://www.legalinfo360.com/2010/02/...ars-in-jail-2/ |
I seriously hope he gets more than 1,500,000 |
reminds me of that movie The Shawshank Redemption. This guy is probably institutionalized to the point that when he comes out, he won't know what the hell there is to do. |
i'd use the money to take out the entire victim's family and the judge and the jury. ;) or actually i would invest it first, so i have more left over after to go on vacation yeahhhhh. |
