An amazing story. Not sure I’d be nearly so magnanimous as he, after 18 years lost in prison… but $5m would probably make me feel a little better.
On a related note.
So this asshole, and his pride, led to the conviction of 13 likely innocent people. And as the linked story recounts, one poor guy has spent 9 years in jail. What isn’t mentioned is the stigma and guilt faced by all these folks - “hey, look, there’s the child beater!”. How much compensation is that worth?
I’m sure he is comforted by the least they can do.
I know it is just a phrase. Really, I do.
I hope the money does make him comfy and allow him to have a decent “rest of his life.” I can’t imagine how to make up to someone taking such a huge portion of their life away.
