Man imprisoned 17 years for a rape he didn't commit has wages garnished for child support payments he couldn't make in prison

Isn't child support based on wages earned? Therefore his child support should be based on a percentage of what he earned in prison. You know that forty cents a day.

Jail (IMO) is supposed to be isolation - you from the world, the world from you. That's all there is to say - no matter guilty or not.

Or if rape was punishable by death in some state, then would the courts allow you to sue the children/relatives of the man (who is now dead) for child support payments he couldn't make?

He should develop a radio voice, then reddit can help him.

He went to prison to avoid having to pay child support!

After years of trying, the Innocence Project Northwest at the University of Washington Law School finally persuaded a judge to test evidence, including skin cells taken from under her fingernails, for DNA.

Unfortunately, DNA testing was available in 1993, so the defendant should have raised it at trial. The biggest issue is that we have faith in the reason and judgment of a random selection of people from society, and generally don't overturn their judgment unless there was clear abuse, or information has surfaced which would not have been available in the first place.

I don't know the details of the case, but it seems like the defense attorney dropped the ball.

We, need, a, civil, war.
