Broken justice system at its finest. Thankful for his "freedom" from behind bars, but angry at the continued injustice he will face outside of the bars. Lack of job oppotunities, lack of access to education, systemic system racism, etc. at least he can be with his loved ones!

If he was exonerated then the conviction will be purged from his record so he could get any job he's qualified for and go to any school he can afford.

you can never replace 27 years in jail. eventhough the cnviction will be purged from his record. he will never get his 27 years of freedom back.

That's longer than I've been alive and he's only getting a million? That isn't even that much now, it should be 27 million

Those are dollars that won't be going to schools, roads, or infrastructure.

And that's time that he should have never spent. Money can be recompensed in one way or another, time is something we humans can't recover (yet).

Maybe our tax money should go to a better justice system rather than military, so fuck ups like this won't happen. By the way, the guys deserves far more than what he got.

The law needs to be held accountable for its injustice. This is absolutely fucked up and it's at times like these that I truly think "fuck the legal system." The police, political figures etc it all so so wrong.

That's not enough money for 27 years in prison for murder.

The amount of bitterness I would harbor would be so great that the state would probably have to stick me back into prison to keep me from doing or saying anything stupid.

It's so unfair. it will never replace the time he lost, the time where he should be playing with his child and wife. and the STIGMA, people that dont know will always see him as a murderer. and the time he cry in jail for something that he actually didnt do. WHAT IS WRONG WITH LAW

Friendly reminder that the right guy is caught most of the time.

Friendly reminder that police, investigators, attorneys, and even judges who are found to have lied, withheld evidence, or even planted evidence that resulted in wrongful convictions, are never charged and never face any consequences for their illegal actions.

I once saw a story on the news about a man who spent 50+ years in jail for a murder he didn't commit and I don't think he got anything.

No money could ever replace those 27 years he lost, I really feel for him and others who are wronged like this

Not necessarily. It's the jury's fault if anything.

Really? You just lost 27 freaking years of your life. All gone. And you're gonna be perfectly happy with 1 million dollars? How about all the opportunities you've missed, all the friends and family that have passed, and you're stuck in hell for something you didn't do?

I should recommend the movie: Shawshank Redemption. it pretty much shows how freaking awful life in prison is (not just the conditions but mostly the repetition and tight schedule)

And look at how Andy took it. That's my point - Andy. His attitude through the whole film.
