      That's nice. Real classy thing to say.

        Very naive statement. That's what he'll get lawyers for - to go over the entire case, including the investigation. When a guy gets put away for a crime that he likely wasn't anywhere near there's a fair chance that there were some "administrative" or investigation "oversights" along the way.

        If you've ever been charged with a crime you'd know how the police manipulate evidence, testimony and anything else they can. It's not hard - 95% of the people charged don't bother to fight. But if every charged person had a good lawyer dedicated to their case, charges would be getting dropped more than you can imagine.

          On a serious note (ok, you all know I wasn't being serious), I went to law school with a hispanic man who spent 3 years in prison for rape before DNA evidence later cleared him. I think he ended up with 2.1 million from the state.

              the only people that he could sue, would be anyone that did any blood or semen tests, providing they test at the time showed that he was not the person. Other than that the lawyers are protected, and so is the judge, and the jail system.

                It really depends. Was there a blunder? A lot of people are being exonerated by DNA evidence these days where the trials were procedurally perfect. For damages, they need to prove some type of misconduct on the part of the state (ie, District Attorney). If for instance, withholding DNA evidence that could have exonerated him earlier, etc. The fact that he didn't do it does not make the state liable.
