“ok I’m not wanting to see people wrongly convicted but i don’t see why that is worth 13 million$”

After you spend eight years in prison for something the police knew you didn’t do then get back to me on what you think is a fair settlement.

My take.

It wouldn’t be enough if it was me that got put away. Not with a “1” in front and a “0” afterward. Personally I wouldn’t be happy with anything short of breaking each of those badged thugs on the wheel.

Let the cops finish his sentence for him. As a cost saving measure we can just put then in general pop.

Sorry...that’s BS. Should the cops who did this go to prison? Absolutely! Should the guy have gotten *some* restitution for what happened? Absolutely! Should he have gotten $13 million? No way,Jose! - Gay State Conservative

I do agree that it’s a lot of money - but it’s a large imposition, too. You might say, “I’ll gladly go to prison for 8 years for that kind of money,” but that leaves out the fact that you expect to be out, and rich, after 8 years. This guy didn’t have that luxury.
