Alabama inmate freed after 30 years on death row

[Bo-4]

What does the State of Alabama owe a black man who was framed at age 18 and locked up during his most productive years?

A few million at minimum, but he'll likely get nothing more than a few hundred bucks and clothes that no longer fit.

A new trial was ordered in 2014 after firearms experts testified 12 years earlier that the revolver Hinton was said to have used in the crimes could not be matched to evidence in either case, and the two killings couldn't be linked to each other.

Whatever they would owe a white man "framed at the age of 18 and locked up during his most productive years". Does that help?

A few million?

Probably a quarter million tops.

Agreed, only it's highly doubtful that the white guy would have been framed.

That's 8 grand a year or 91 cents an hour Peter .. not hardly.

You stay on death row for 91 cents an hour. I'll do it for 3 months at $1000 an hour. That'll give me 4 million extra for retirement.

The question will be what his earning potential was outside jail- based on his experience, education, locality, etc. If he was going to be a brain surgeon than he will get $20M +.

I am worth a lot more than 91 cents an hour. Wrongful imprisonment of me will cost the tax payer a bundle.

You're just making this up as you go along. lol
