“Under Florida’s current compensation law, DuBoise is not eligible to receive any compensation for the 37 years he was in prison…”

Congratulations Robert!
The question left is how many thousands others are there that can’t get the help they need to get justice ,if you can call loosing half your life before getting a fair trial justice.
Beyond sad to think of 37 years of your life, which is truly short anyway. Congrats are still in order to the Innocence Project. Bet no one listened to him proclaim his innocence…bet they forced him(or tried ) to get him to “just admit you did it….we know you did”. We(big majority?) seem to believe we have an infallible justice system. We do not and each day that goes by, however slowly, just proves it. He should be paid big money for this injustice….that would hurt the “system” more than anything….and yes they should pay. If we can spend billions upon billions for an “election” they should definitely pay for something useful!!
