Maybe, but I still think that this guy should be glad hes out instead of claiming someone owes him money.
I don't know. He was wrongly imprisoned for 18 years. Evidence that eventually exonerated him existed. He had already paid the price for his previous conviction, and agree with it or not, his debt to society was over at that point and he shouldn't have been wrongly imprisoned any more than you are I should be. If it happened to me, I know I would want some sort of compensation. Wouldn't you?

You are correct when you say he has paid his debt to society and yes, if it happened to me, I would expect some kind of compensation. But Im not a rapist and have never considered be one. LOL! I just feel that his earlier conviction for a violent sex crime, paroled or not, should negate any award for a wrongful conviction for the same crime. Harsh? Probably. Biased? Absolutley! I have three kids. And as I type, Fox is broadcasting from the scene where another one of these animals has kidnapped TWO girls.Peoples kids are being stolen with alarming regularity now,and because of a Dickensian quirk,Missouri tax payers are about to reward one of the perps. Again, just my opinion.
