Everything you listed that he endured, that he missed, and all the time knowing ~ KNOWING ~ he had done nothing wrong. *sigh*<BR/><BR/>Glad to see you posting again. :)BostonPobblehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08900134112278236654noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20280519.post-60591380550380334532007-05-16T15:47:00.000-07:002007-05-16T15:47:00.000-07:00Barney, that is an excellent point. This man will...Barney, that is an excellent point. This man will probably need help adjusting to society. Much has changed over the last twenty years.<BR/><BR/>But it appears as though he has a loving mother and brother to help him. Let's hope that they are there for him and help him adjust.Krystalhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10256521369614598137noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20280519.post-26182826199090372422007-05-16T12:40:00.000-07:002007-05-16T12:40:00.000-07:00I agree with you.. he has missed out on so many op...I agree with you.. <BR/>he has missed out on so many opportunities in his life...<BR/>as you pointed out.. <BR/><BR/>Now he must go forth into the world, and figure out how to survive.. 500k is NOT going to pay that debt.. let alone... what about what the tax payers have already payed to keep an innocent man behind bars?<BR/><BR/>I am glad that the state dept was finally able to find no fault w/this gentleman.. however.... turning someone loose after the majority of his life in prison brings many questions to my mind.<BR/>How will he mentally cope?<BR/>How will he emotionally cope?<BR/>Who is he today?<BR/>After living all those years under lock & key, and in such a strict and structured enviroment.. how will he be able to go about "polite" society?<BR/>He will now have more of an edge than what you would normally find w/in the inner cities?<BR/><BR/>I hope the government does more than just the 500k.. that is not nearly enough!!!!Barneyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00940448784322244172noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20280519.post-18629034825236293732007-05-16T11:53:00.000-07:002007-05-16T11:53:00.000-07:00can't even begin to imagine what's going through h...can't even begin to imagine what's going through his mind. I still find it abhorring and reprehensable that the government would say he has to APPLY for a compensation that is so below what he deserves that it's insulting.<BR/><BR/>You know, I've been mauling this over in head and I started to wonder how his jury must feel. I mean, they went on good faith with the evidence they had at the time and you can't blame them for that... But to find out that you convicted an innocent man and took his life away from him in a sense. That's something I wouldn't want to live with. Not that they are the victims here, but I'm sure they feel horrible. At least he didn't get the death penalty.<BR/><BR/>This is very upsetting to me.Krystalhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10256521369614598137noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20280519.post-33818167361687684392007-05-16T09:01:00.000-07:002007-05-16T09:01:00.000-07:00I agree 100 percent.

I know that sounds dumb and obvious, but think about it... he might be so traumatized that he just wants to walk away.The Bizzahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17797871556831556557noreply@blogger.com
