I'm not sure that I agree that anyone who is exonerated after the fact should be compensated for the time they were in prison. They should if there's law enforcement or prosecutorial misconduct, but if the cops and prosecuters do their jobs ethically, and the individual is defended adequately and convicted by a jury, I'm not sure that tax dollars should be given to the person for the mistake. Could he sue individual cops, lawyers, and jurors, or the person who is eventually (hopefully) convicted?
