I disagree with you sir. 40years?? If Bill Gates had spent 40 years in jail, and after his release got paid 1million dollars, would he be the billionaire that he is?? They already killed the man's destiny, God save us from such things. Amen!!


Amen!!

I remember this man's story. Thank God they compensated him. But they wasted his youthful days. Foolish policemen, stupid court of law.

Tears of Joy! But how on earth should America of All nation Wrongly incarcerate someone for 40 good years!

In fact that money too small o!
Our fantastically looting/stealing/corrupt leaders, would they have thought of doing this to a poor Nigerian? Rather, they will steal the money and share amongst themselves in amaechi's house.

Wat a pity, am very sure dat nigeria will not pay such money to an innocent man

Even if its too poor, but I believe it should be able to take care of him till further notice.....Remember some of his free valence mates that have lived up to 40years have not been able to cough out even N10million not to talk of $1million. Atleast He'§ been compensated... @ all @ all na en bad pass.

And what if he wasn't impresoned at all and he spent 40 years without 1million dollars worth ? Isn't this an example as well?

Tho the 40yr is fucking much.

Bullsheet! Just one million dollars for forty years? The compensation is very shabby. Forty years of his youthful life was taken for crying out loud! I'm pissed. angry

I thought I am the one that observed that.

1 mil after 40 years, that's very bad.

Because he's an African.

He could have become a major star, have kids and so on. He could have been killed by hardened criminals in jail.

Less than $5 to 10 million is rubbish. Police brutality victims get far more.

Rodney King got 2 Million and was found dead in his swimming pool years later...foul play ?
Re: Court Awards $1Million To Ricky Jackson For Spending 40 Years In Jail Wrongly by Frankamah11(m): 8:57pm On May 10, 2016
Hmmm...they really took away his whole!!...just wandering if the $ 1mill.can really get back his life. Thanks stars he was vindicated,not all men lives to see thier innocence proven. I hope those mischievous police who forced the then kid to testify against will be reasonably brought to book as deterrent to other police or law officers. Such cases is observable our Nigerian officers which is pretty bad. God bless America!!

Re: Court Awards $1Million To Ricky Jackson For Spending 40 Years In Jail Wrongly by edoziebobbyyahoocom(m): 9:11pm On May 10, 2016
How can you people be blinded to the real situation here. 40 yrs was taken away from that mans life, judging from the pics he was about 18yrs old then that should put him at about 58 -60yrs old now. And people are celebrating, pushing aside the torment he went through all those years, the family he could have had, the education he could have gotten and probably the wealth he could have accumulated which maybe could have been far greater than €1mil.
What I see here is a case of a system that is unjust.
well I pray that he finds peace in all that's happened.

that's true. Exactly what I was thinking. Its just like buying his entire life for 300million naira. At age 60. What will he enjoy again? The rides? Women? Integrity? Fame? Food? What will that money mean to him.

Everything about Nigeria is always upside down. If prison warder no kill you, lawyer go dupe or police go replace you with another person etc etc.

racism at it's peak. so the court just looked at him and decided that 40years of his life is worth just $1million.

useless beings.
