Dumbest post eh...

Well gentlemen, ladies, whatever, some people will kill for $80k. A good number of that type would be happy spend a year in jail in exchange for $80k. The odds are they already have done time and know exactly what the trade offs are.

The bottom line is you don't create incentives to do such things.

Instead go after the prosecutors and/or district attorneys who create this situation in the first place.

And hopefully those aren't the ones getting out. If the process works as it should they will remain incarcerated. This program is in its infancy and those being exonerated have been incarcerated for several years. Are you saying these people should be kept in confinement if there is reasonable doubt/evidence to exonerate them?

As far as going after prosecutors/DAs I agree if they were in error and defense attorneys also if they are negilent in their defense.
