Well gentlemen, ladies, whatever, some people will kill for $80k.


And hopefully those aren't the ones getting out. If the process works as it should they will remain incarcerated. This program is in its infancy and those being exonerated have been incarcerated for several years. Are you saying these people should be kept in confinement if there is reasonable doubt/evidence to exonerate them?

As far as going after prosecutors/DAs I agree if they were in error and defense attorneys also if they are negilent in their defense.

Absolutely not.

My point is entirely different.

I'm saying that some ex-convicts could well try to game the system. To create a situation from this point forward where they get themselves convicted of a crime on purpose all the while having hard proof they didn't do it. In other words, the whole thing is staged. So that at a later date that hard proof will mysteriously appear proving they were wrongfully convicted.

The ex-convict stays in prison for 5 years and walks out the door with $400k. An opportunity that may well be far better than any other they have in their life.
