From grabbing your ankles to model citizen overnight...
Finally. 
I was beginning to think that some of the BAF folks on here were either related to this guy and thought that I wanted him to stay in jail or just missed having a good BAF fight to lurk around on. [
Shout out to all of you lurking at work and home.] At any rate, thanks for playing along at home, MD.
white washed media depicted his lawsuit as the "big pay day". They are trying to define his settlement as some dayum windfall...and it ain't sh*iot!!!
Exactly. How can they assume that getting a $1.75 million is some sort of windfall when you've had your life ripped from you at the hands of people who lied on you like that. Preposturous!
and Heyl...if his attorney fees aren't included...hes going to walk away with much less than that amount.
No doubt they will hit him with every receipt that they can think of when it comes time to settle up. "Hey Mr. Bain... uh... remember those Cokes and Pepsis that we all had back at the office discussing your case? Well they were a $1,000 each and we bought a crate of them. Now you drank one bottle yourself so you owe us for the remaining unopened bottles. Don't worry you're still wealthy. We'll just bill ya..."

How can you replace the loss? You can't. Nor can you after loosing a loved one to any other tragedy. There really isn't a way to regain what you've lost emotionally or in time and experiences...but...with a monetary replacement, you can at least move forward into a new life more easily. What if they didn't give him that? He'd have a snowballs chance trying rebuild a life and always explaining his life story. I would also go after those who lied and press charges if at all possible.
Unfortunately, the state lawmakers and their congressional leaders thoroughout the US have conspired together to put a proverbial cap on how much a person can actually ask for/sue for when something like this happens.
The states can't handle the load of all of these over-turned convictions due to DNA clearance. Most of the arrest, like in this case, were in my opinion massive "witch hunts" designed to produce a warm body to serve the time for a crime and help the state get the murder/rape/crime off of it's books statistically.
Imagine the egg on the parole board's faces as they had to take back everything that they've said about this man time and time again about whether or not he can be "rehabilitated" when he wasn't even guilty in the first friggin place? Scandalous!

There is NO amount of money to replace that many years lost of life.
If he is smart, he'll get a financial advisor STAT so he can invest that ish and NEVER have to work. Ever.
I have always wondered where these figures come from too.
But hell then, who knows...we don't know if he would have made 50k a year if it never would have happened to him.
And WHERE does the money come from?

True. True. It's sad really when you think that back in the late 50's, 60's, and 70's cops were snatching folks up off of the street and pinning murder raps on 'em left and right.

According to him, as long as she's not a woman who knows he has money.
Brotherman ain't having that ish.

Believe it or not lawyers for men like these use to ask for $50 million and higher as recently as 2 years ago, but the states started noticing how quickly they would possibly go bankrupt paying out these huge amounts and they began to enact laws to limit these settlements/judgements as a result.
It's a shame that an athlete playing for a professional ball club can make $100 million or better playing only 8 years and a guy like this can only get $1.75 million for serving 35 years wrongly accused of a crime he couldn't have committed.
But hell then, who knows...we don't know if he would have made 50k a year if it never would have happened to him.
I agree. It's kinda hard to put a "what if" figure/amount on the myriad of possibilities this man could have chosen as a career path back then.

If you were wrongfully convicted by the state, then I suspect that the state would be responsible for your so-called "payout." If you were wrongfully convicted by the feds on federal charges, I'm almost certain that the Federal government would be responsible for your so-called "payout."
However...
The Feds have been burnt so much in the past with katz like Al Capone and other well known organized crime figures from that era until nowadays when they come after you to have you stand trial they'll have an iron-clad case against yo' azz, whereas atleast one charge out of the 20 or more that you are being tried for will stick.

There is no justice. Score another for law enforcement even when true criminals go free. Pick a negro, any Negro and get a conviction. The rule still stands today in too many non dna evidence cases.
He can never rebuild a normal life, job, family etc. What's left of that paltry settlement won't support him for life. He likely believes that is a lot of money thinking in 1970's dollars.
It burns me every time I hear theses stories. Thank God for endevors like The Innocence Project
