I do think that the wrongly accused do deserve compensation... but those numbers are a little too high.
How much can we pay you today for the next 25 years of your life? You have to go live in a tiny cell, eat prison food, and be locked up against your will. What's it worth to you?

We've wronged these people and this is a pittance compared with that which we took away from them.

I have nothing but disdain for most of the prosecutors; they're mostly politicians working their way up.

if prosecutors would be held responsible and same standard applied to them situation would change immediately....it is the immunity that gives them the arrogance and unlimited power to distroy people`s lives....until that would happen expect tirany in Court rooms....to be noted that the ststem is purely American and could NOT be found anywhere else in the Western civilised world!
