Not sure what to think. I know I would be very mad spending any time in jail if I was innocent.

I also realize that just because the victim and the lawyer says he didn’t do it, doesn’t mean he didn’t do it.

I can see that he deserves some compensation, but the sum mentioned is preposterous.

Klein is now seeking $10 million for his client and as far as he is aware, no one else was ever charged with a crime.

Good. He should get it.

You don't keep an innocent man in jail 1 second longer than is absolutely necessary.

This was a mockery of justice, a crime in and of itself, and those who are responsible for such gross negligence should be fired. We need maximum accountability.

"If they're holding someone in jail, they have an obligation to pursue the case or dismiss it and release him," said Klein.

"They had the affidavit and the file went in the drawer and there it sat."

His lawyer should be seeking the disbarment of this man’s public defender as well.

His defense council should have known about this affidavit, should have known that he was being held without charges and should have been filling habeas corpus appeals.

His defense lawyer is at least as guilty of offending justice as the prosecution.

Spending almost a year and a half in jail would wreck havoc on the man’s family, career, community standing etc. What about his kids if any. He deserves the ten million for sure.
