happy for him,why does it take 26 years to prove your innocence ?-crooked bastards

Doesn't make up for lost time, but at least he's compensated

[krazyn8tive]

It makes me happy that this man is being compensated in some form. So much lost time behind bars though. Smh

[hectari]

Compensated? that is a weak money settlement, half of that will go to his lawyers, and the government will take a huge percent tax out of what is left.

This guy won't even be left with much.

The man was accused of something he didn't do spent his life in prison while being innocent and they give him $7.5 million which will probably wind up at $500,000 when its all said and done.

I seen some false accusing women get paid millions upon millions while the accused like Dewey get paid crap.

Look at that one high school player who was accused of **** and was locked up and his dreams of football destroyed only for the teen girl who falsely accused him of **** came out and said she lied and only did it because her mother told her they can make millions from the district and they got millions and she squandered it away and lives in an apartment.

Its BS.

That's like earning a paycheck of $288,461 per year

My thoughts too. To me he shouldn't have to pay any taxes from that imo, that sucks, hopefully his lawyers take a bit less in order to help him out, but should have got atleast 10 million for this suit though imo.

[APBrooklyn]

ten times that amount wouldn't be sufficient imo

[VasyLomachenko]

fair deal i suppose
