Well at least I am glad he got a nice settlement. It won’t give him back his life but I have seen similar situations where someone was released after being found innocent and they got nothing other than an “Oh well, we all make mistakes right?”

I think every law maker should spend a month in prison and see just how dangerous it is. The prisoners these days are so violent that even the guards have been quitting.

It is easy to write a law that may emotionally satisfy constituents, but with no regard to unintended consequences. While judges may control the courtroom, prosecutors determine the outcome. Given the highly competitive environment in a district attorney’s office, it is little wonder that some prosecutors ignore the concept of justice.

Law enforcement doesn’t believe in innocence. They believe in filling jails and making you the judge’s problem.

He was just found innocent after spending more than half his life locked up.
