[ QUOTE ] [ QUOTE ] [ QUOTE ] Congrats to this guy on hopefully suing the government for millions. [/ QUOTE ] If this happens in Texas the Gov. and it's officials are immune. You get nothing. [/ QUOTE ] In this docu they said they passed a law compensating people like this. I don't know how much tho. [/ QUOTE ] Depends on the state. Alot of states dont have compensation statutes. The best thing you could do is use any connections you have to help get him a job. Some states dont expunge the record right away and even if they do the exoneree has to explain a 21 yr gap in employment history. Most employers cant get past the stigma attached. I have been very involved with the Innoncence Project Clinic at my law school and believe it is a very worthy cause. Spending 21 years in jail is one of the scariest things I can imagine happening that doesnt involve death. Anything you could do will be appreciated Im sure. Find out if their is a compensation statute and if there isnt write your state representative. [/ QUOTE ] This man was compensated. Although I doubt any amount would be worth it. They said this man was the first man in Tn to receive this compensation.

"In 1979, McMillan, who is black, was charged with raping a 16-year-old white girl and robbing her date in a Memphis park. She identified McMillan during a police lineup."
Talk to this girl instead...And by talk to her of course i mean kill her

Re: Do I go visit a guy who was wrongly accused and spent 21 yrs in ja
During a taped interview one of the guys there was asked to identify the person who raped the girl all the guy said was he was black and they all look the same in the face.
How could the defense not have ripped that up later in the trial?

[/ QUOTE ] Yeah, thanks Iggy... I was just about to clear this up. I posted the link to Steven Avery (recent Wisconsin case), because the conviction, time in prison, and subsequent release after proven innocent were all very similar to the OP's guy. Turns out, Avery was still a menace to society, and I was implying that the OP guy may not be too great either. Just because he got falsley accused, doesn't mean he's a freaking saint; however, he might be a great guy, I dunno, but after our (Wisconsin's) guy, I don't really trust these guys. FWIW, Avery only got like $400,000 from Wisconsin for his time in prison. I may be mistaken, but its was something like that.
