$1.8 million is not nearly enough for 23 years of a man’s life. I don’t know that any amount of money can make up for losing your freedom, not to mention your reputation and respect and a third of your lifetime.
I guess it would depend on how old I was when I got out, but I think I’d be inclined to find those respsonsible and give them a reason to put me back in prison.
OTOH, it beats the heck out of a cheap suit and a bus ticket.
Yet it is far better than the $25 and a bus ticket that they used to get.
I think it is a good amount.
Agree, this amount is a joke...A million a year for doing time in the joint would still not be enough.

Maybe so, but I don’t want my tax money spent for that-The proscecutor should have to pay both from his budget and his personal funds.
