[quote:5a9ce]Agreed. They took away half of a man's life: regardless of how well the state tried, it should now offer compensation. TGB, how would you feel if your ass had been locked up for 24 years and told that you would get nothing for all the lost time and memories ? You can post anything you want on this forum, but we all know the real answer to that question...[/quote:5a9ce]
The above emotional appeal has nothing to do with my assessment of the justice system. Your arguing rhetoric - of course I'd be pissed if I was convicted of a crime I didnt commit; and be even MORE pissed if I didnt get money I felt I was "deserved" - but the state is under no obligation to give me anything, and if I sued, barring state misconduct, I wouldnt get jack. To suggest this man is "owed" something, would suggest that at the original trial, there was the belief or thought that "hey - we're sentencing an innocent man to prison". If that can be shown - then I'll ride that train with the rest of you cats.

At least he probably got a lot of ass in prison. Well...maybe he was the one supplying the ass.

I agree with TGB, the state did what it could do with the evidence provided. The defense should have worked for him (the defendant) better. Its good that he is proven innocent and I feel he is due some compensation. Maybe job training and some cash
BTW I dont see a green elephant in the room
I never knew TGB was black

I'm not serious, and I'm cool with TGB. He's one of the more intelligent members on this forum. Regardless of what his position is on any debate or argument. calmdown:

Ok, here's my take. 1st of all, there's no place for knocking TGB because of the color of his skin....even Arkan objects to that. He has been a member here for quite awhile and even though he rubs me the wrong way at times, thats just not called for.
Also, i gotta agree with TGB at this time. The state did what it was supposed to do. The only thing that failed this guy was his defense and perhaps they are the ones that owe him compensation. Life is a pretty complicated thing and everyones life is different so who are we to compare? Perhaps his life in prison was better that some peoples who are on the street. No one knows his past life (before prison) so no one is in a position to comment about it.
The world is my urinal

You hit the nail on the head there. Do you think OJ would have got off with a public pretender?
