Compare Mr. Tillman's experience (being granted $5,000,000) with that of one Warren Blackwell, also wrongly imprisoned for a rape that he didn't commit:

Man wrongly jailed for three years charged £7,000 by Home Office for 'board and lodging'

Wrongly jailed after a woman cried rape, Warren Blackwell applied for compensation for his three wasted years in prison.

Torn from his family and sent to languish in jail as a convicted sex attacker, the innocent father-of-two imagined he was due a hefty sum for the miscarriage of justice.

Instead, he was flabbergasted to learn the Home Office now intends to charge him nearly £7,000 for "board and lodging".
