Glad to see the poor guy got out. The problem is now he has to adjust to the real world and the crime he was accused of will still follow him around.

As far as a big law suite I doubt that will happen. He will be lucky to get compensated for this blunder.

Only 18 states, the federal government and Washington, D.C., have laws for compensating the exonerated. Compensation can take years to get, and the laws often aren't used by exonerees because they may need an official pardon or a court must declare them innocent.
