Kansas Governor Signs Law to Compensate Wrongfully Convicted
Kansas Governor Jeff Coyler signed a new law that compensates those who were wrongfully convicted AND wrongfully put on the sex offender registry. This bill, although not intended, recognizes that the sex offender registry is tantamount to punishment. The law gives $65,000 per year to those wrongfully imprisoned, plus $25,000 per year to those who wrongfully were placed on parole, probation or the sex offender registry.

If Florida would just cut me loose TODAY, I wouldn’t persue any payback monies !!. I’d just move on with my life, But if I’ve got to wait till the courts FORCE Florida to release me, And I’ve got to put up with several more years of this, You Dang right I’m gonna sue Florida !!!. I’m already Considering suing Marion County for causing me to loose over $100K in the last 5 years and stopping me from seeing dying Family out of state. Because they threatened to ARREST ME if I left the State without notifying them in Person BEFORE And AFTER I went !!. Well I’m a TOW SERVICE, And don’t know where or when I’m going anywhere until the phone rings !!. I lost SO MANY tows out of state because of their LIES and POWER TRIP !!. To make it worse, There CLOSED on Wednesday Saturday and Sunday and only open till 3pm on the other days !!!. So it makes it I’M POSSIBLE to follow their “Rules” !!!. It’s time for things to change !!!. This “Registery” BULLCRAP has gotten out of hand !!.
Now to make this really effective they would need to allow people that took a plea because of mandatory mins but were actually innocent to make a case. Those cases are also wrongfully convicted.
in order to be wrongfully convicted, cases would have to be reversed and tossed out. Florida LEO’s have illegally and wrongfully convicted 1000’s of men and created sex offenders of them, especially during sting operations. For those cases to be reviewed, it would take an attorney or firm who cares enough to take up the cause. I have researched this until my face it blue, and I do believe it’s possible, but nobody has stepped up to the plate.
Good for those in Kansas who were wronged, and props to the Governor for understanding
It took me 3 years but I was able to put in a pro se motion of a gentlemen that was given life on a false conviction. I proved by just looking over the entire trral transcripts that he was in fact innocent. The 4th district reversed his conviction and demanded that he be released immediately. He also was here illegally in this country and immigration said we don’t want him and took off the hold. Today we are best friends and travel in the USA as often as we can as he works so much. He had a public defender that congratulated me and said that their are so many more like him in Florida Prisons. I can go on with all the motions I have filed for people that ended in their release. Law enforcement and the judicial system are treating us worst then monsters. I believe if they could find a way to either incarcerate us for life or dispose of us they would. I fear each day for my life in my county for advocating for my community and those outside my community. Even the Feds threatened me.
Hey, that is incredible. Courts are intimidating and pretty complex but I encourage anyone to stay away from, and do not trust, any public pretender and fight your own fight if at all possible. I have a complaint with 9 claims going thru the courts here in Sacramento Ca Federal District and am going Pro SE. I have to tell you it is going extremely well so far and I have submitted an enormous amount of Gov. reports on recidivism and the counterproductive and lack of efficacy and submitted them as a request for judicial notice thereby eliminating any doubt about those subjects and cannot believe others have not used that tool, as well as request for admissions which are another powerful tool. You can see the progress of my case at http://mllkeys20112011.wixsite.com/mysite which has the complete chronology up to date.
Man where is the citation????
The spokesman for this Bill was a man who spent 26 yrs. in prison for a rape he didn’t commit. They also said on the local news that it’s estimated that 5 to 7%of those in prison are innocent. What % would that be for those on the SOR. Especially for misdemeanor crimes since no proof or physical evidence is necessary. Just one persons word over another’s.
