Delaware Bill could compensate the wrongfully incarcerated.
In 2015, he was released on parole. As part of the conditions of his release, he had to register as a sex offender. He got a job at a restaurant but was quickly fired after a police officer threatened to tell people a sex offender worked there. And in a sex offender therapy program he had to take, he refused to admit he was guilty of rape, a requirement for graduating. Without a job and certificate from the program, Daniels violated the conditions of his parole, and soon he was back in prison.
That same year, federal investigators revealed that Malone, the FBI analyst, had provided flawed testimony or reports on hair analysis in 96 percent of his cases. In 2018, the groups investigating Malone told then-Delaware Attorney General Matthew Denn that Malone’s testimony “exceeded the limits of science.”

I find it interesting that one if the FBIs own workers was found to be corrupt in 96 percent of his cases. This should be a much bigger story. Just imagine how many other poor souls were affected by his tainted evidence. And for each crime that sent the wrong person to prison means the real culprit was roaming the country side unimpeded from more crimes.
Good article
Interesting that Missouri is willing to compensate victims exonerated using DNA. This is only used to convict a very small percentage . When it is used it’s pretty conclusive. Most are incarcerated not on DNA or any physical evidence so for them you’re just screwed. Good example of politicians passing laws that do nothing but sound good.
Also, the problem is that prosecutors don’t want you released and at times refuse to allow exculpatory evidence on the prisoners behalf for fear that they have wrongfully incarcerated someone. How a prosecutor can refuse or even throw out exculpatory evidence in a case is beyond my understanding of the legal system and how they can allow that. If a prosecutor withholds evidence, they should be fired and charged with obstruction of justice.
I’ve come to the conclusion that anyone who goes to law school to become a prosecutor steps into the college classroom and the first thing the professor says is: “If they’ve been arrested, they’re guilty. Period.” And the idiots who take such criminal justice classes buy into that bullshit.
To be a prosecutor means you have to be inhuman.
This is what happens when a prosecutor gets caught obstructing justice or defying a court: one day in jail and disbarment from practice. Not enough!
