Kevin Strickland was exonerated after 43 years being in prison. It has become one of the longest wrongful convictions in U.S. history. He was convicted for a triple murder by an all-White jury in 1979. He was sentenced to life in prison without the chance of parole for 50 years. He said he did not commit this crime. On top of it, the guy who admitted to the crime, said he wasn't even there.
There's no mention on whether or not he will be getting a settlement from this, but if I was him, I'd sue the state for keeping him in prison all of those years. I mean, considering it's a wrongful conviction, he should get pay for each year he was in there. Guy deserves a nice retirement now.
