Yahoo: Texas Prisoner becomes Instant Millionare


H-O-G

sad part about it is that the money will be gone in a year or two. He's buying a house, that's cool. Hopefully he'll be able to pay the taxes and insurance in a few years. He should've got 10 million.

Maybe he should move to St Pete instead, get a better deal on a house, and have some money leftover :silly:

38?? 38 innocence people that have bee incarcerated for crimes they didn't commit? man what the #%^* is wrong with our judicial system.
This is really gonna sound bad, but 38 over 10 years isn't bad. But we are talking at least 25 years. That is 1.52/year. Out of minimum 300,000 (swag). Think about that. What percent error is allowed? And how many guilty suspects walked away? That is just as bad a miscarriage of justice.

Pope, you aren't telling the whole truth here, the 38 are just those who've been exonerated by DNA evidence, how many others are there innocently that don't have DNA evidence to set them free? Our justice system is broken and our solution is "build more prisons". :doh:

Yeah, well, an innocent getting convicted=a guilty going free.

That argument seems awfully kneejerk and out of place here. The man was wrongfully convicted for rape and robbery, but he wasn't given the death penalty. Surely you're not suggesting that people who are convicted of rape and robbery shouldn't be sent to prison for a long time?
