Kansas man wrongfully imprisoned for 23 years receives no compensation from state

This is absolute bullshit. I understand that wrongful convictions will occur, but something needs to be done to compensate the wrongfully accused. You took time from them and experiences. You took family, their reputation and respect. That needs to be compensated. And if any wrong doing was found, that must be seriously punished.

Just awful. So many stories lately of men falsely accused of rape, it's clearly something that happens at a relatively frequent rate.

That guy deserves a million dollars for every year he spent in prison.

Tweet with me to seek justice:

If they find that detective guilty of those accusations, he should be stripped of his pension. We all know who could use that pension.

Somebody should do one of those gofundme things for this guy.

If he tracks the cop down and murders him in his sleep they might not want me on the jury because I would not be able to convict the guy.

Does "not offering compensation" mean "no chance of winning a lawsuit for compensation"?

I've learned about A LOT of wrongful conviction cases and the good work that the people at the Innocence Project perform.

It seems that the majority of the time, law enforcement coerce statements, hide evidence, coerce and pay witnesses, and or just need a patsy fall guy. And other times, the prosecutors office is negligent, hide evidence, or corroborate with law enforcement to convict for the sole purpose of adding to their conviction rate.

I feel that if found innocent, monetary compensation is not enough. When they find that there was negligence or willful misconduct, a full investigation should be launched and a mandatory minimum equivalent sentence should be on the table.

This is a country of checks and balances. And in the criminal justice system, we need an executioner to keep them honest and accountable.

He didn't do the crime, but he paid the time. Give him a "get out of jail free" voucher that is good for one crime of his choosing, so long as the sentence doesn't surpass what he already spent time for, and if he chooses to anyway, jail him for the difference.

“Kansas is one of 18 states that offer wrongfully convicted prisoners no compensation at all upon their release.”

I can take a good solid guess as to the political makeup of those states.

2018-03-05T00:38:15+00:00

They won't compensate because of the money being spent to keep him in there. Haha fucking glorious int it?

Hunchmine · 2018-03-05T02:45:43+00:00

Hmmm this whole ordeal sounds quite ahem - CRUEL AND UNUSUAL to me. Just sayin’

cabe565 · 2018-03-05T05:12:28+00:00

This is why I’m not for the death penalty.

Put the woman in prison for 10 years. Have the same statute of limitation removal for false rape accusations as there are for rape accusations.

Funklestein · 2018-03-04T23:09:53+00:00

While it sucks for this guy it should be noted that if a state is required to pay for a wrongful conviction, which was usually decided by other citizens, then the state would have a motive to not release innocent people. The last thing we want is to have the government not release you because it would be cheaper to keep you in prison.

Right, this is totally because he's a man, and has nothing to do with any other demographics he might be part of...
