“So how much do you think 26 years in prison is worth?”

It will depend on the INDIVIDUAL.

I don't go along with the GROUP mentality.

I also believe those that PUT THEM IN PRISON, WRONGLY should compensate them based on what they earned PRIOR to being wrongly imprisoned. THAT would be s personal determent to attorneys and company who like to wrongly incarcerate people. I would really like to get back to INDIVIDUAL RESPONSIBILITY.

BTW, how do YOU justify that arbitrary amount?

It's cheaper than the multi-million dollar Judgement any reasonable Jury on the planet would hand down. That's why.

Who do you start with? The Judge, the jury, the DA, the Cop who arrested him, the attorney who failed to defend him?

The article sites one man who was released after 24 years and received $1.9 million. That works out to about $9.00 an hour. Sounds cheap to me.

So make the DA pay it? Lol, no one would ever be tried for a crime again.

I hate it to but this one society as a whole has to foot the bill.

Interesting that you rate a person’s worth by what they earn.
