There's any number of ways to manufacture evidence to frame yourself along with hidden proof you didn't do it all in pursuit of $80k a year.
A convict that can't get a job can set himself up to do prison time, later provide suddenly discovered proof he didn't do it and collect. I didn't read the article so if there are protections against this the scratch my comments, but I don't know you would be able to prevent it. That may well be the dumbest post i have ever read here. Are you really suggesting that someone would voluntarily spend 20-plus years in prison in exchange for $80K a year plus a one time lump sum?

Especially since this law wasn’t even being considered 20+ years ago.

It made me think what DB might be an acronym for.
I came up with a very short list.

The article title is wrong too. 23 years in a Texas prison for something he didn't do is not becoming an "instant" millionaire. About the only thing wrong with this is I don't see any provision for spreading some pain on the officials who performed the wrongful conviction.
Besides, Texas is a great place and anyone with enough brains to accomplish something like that could easily do better with a real job and not have to spend any time in prison.
