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

Right. It's not enough. And it should come from the Police pension fund and the personal assets of the police officers and prosecutors responsible for this travesty of justice. And the perpetrators should spend the rest of their natural lives in prison.

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.
Me too, 13 million is pretty low. 800 million would be more appropriate. How much would you want to give up 8 years of your life behind bars as well as get stabbed in the process?
It's not about rewarding the plaintiff, but about punishing the wrong-doer.
In this case, the people hold the leashes of the elected officials, who in turn, hold the leashes of the police.
If the elected officials, who represent the interests of the taxpayer, are lax in their oversight of the police when the police commit a crime, then the taxpayer can pay for their own lack of oversight of their politicians and police through higher taxes or fewer civil benefits.
8 plus years of your life for being framed, stabbed & God knows what else. I think it’s appropriate. Quite.
What would 8 years of YOUR life be worth?
Just asking.

It's worth more, but it should come out of the pension fund, or private insurance (modeled after malpractice insurance that doctors get).
