The compensation is good....but..... that's a whole lot more problems in his new life. Watched documentary with innocent guy freed after like 20 years.... his main problem was adjusting to living with his family....soooo used to prison life. At 71 years old...think it would be even more difficult for him to adjust.... unknown in the free world for starters. Those who hid evidence etc and bear false witness need to be prosecuted and sent to prison.

For one to spend 38yrs for a crime he didn't commit is wickedness, so 38 good years has been deducted from his active age, I hope he recovers and move on.

He got off because of painstaking DNA evidence.

If the prosecution could show that as at that time, this level of tech wasn't able to detect what it detected, he won't get what he got.

Meanwhile, how many people free roaming have made that 21M USD in that space of years?
The amount is still not worth the wasted time.
I know no free person who’ll willingly choose to stay in jail for three months hoping for a one million dollar cash payment.
People instinctively know the worth of their freedom.
I’ll like to see such social experiment take place as a reality show.

No amount of money is worth a man's freedom.
If they are to put the mistake into financial value it will cost more than twenty one million dollars.

No, $21000000 for 38 years or 13870 days is about $1514 a day. How much would he have earned per day? I think he got the better deal.

at least he didnt suffer in vain , i recommebd he moves to south america and live peacefully
meobizy:
I pity the guy.
21 million is a slap in the face compared to the time spent.
If he went to court he might have gotten a better deal.
The quick payout was because the state couldn't defend its actions.

He could have died broke in a street fight or stabbed because of a gf if he hadn't been in jail and I'm sure he is richer than all his former friends enjoying so called freedom. Brov. With 21millions dollars you can catch up for the wasted time
The man is 71?
What can he enjoy at that age?
Old age isn't a joke.

I pray the man gets another twenty years of life with good health to enjoy his money , get a young wife and probably bear children too

Why don't you give him your younger sister or daughter for him to marry ??
It's easy for you guys to practically handover little baby girls to old methuselahs angry

Mr man I said a young wife. a lady btw age 35 to 40 is still a young wife compared to his age. And @ that age, I believe she already knows what she want. do you expect him to marry someone at age 50 who can't bare him kids? he is yet to taste the joy of having a family, so pls think b4 you rush to type next time. As if when dangote comes to marry your 18 year old sis you won't be dancing for joy. mtseeee

Same Simi valley that hosted the trial of Rodney King.

Damn, the man must have been severely punished in prison, considering the crime he was wrongfully convicted of.

21m is nothing compared to being caged for the crime you didn't commit
