That isn’t enough. Not nearly. They stole his life for 17 years.

$1.1 million for 17 years? That works out to about $7.40 per hour spent incarcerated. Not enough.

About $65,000 per year for being wrongfully convicted.....Smdh 🤦🏽‍♀️🤷🏽‍♀️🤦🏽‍♀️🤦🏽‍♀️😡😡🤬🤬

No way is that enough .nothing can give this man 17 years of his life back .

Not enough for 17 years

Doppelganger EvilTwin

One million dollars is trash. Take out the taxes and he’s got less than 17 years of barely a middle class life.

So DNA and fingerprints weren't available 🤔🙄

If the $1.1 million isn’t taxed that is pretty great money. If it’s taxed that isn’t great

So this equates to $177 a day for his time spend for his wrongful incarceration. He could have well not survived. Seems to me the state got off easy.

64000 a year? Not enough

Thanks trump....
