    “Wins”, really? That’s a disgusting way of putting it. He’s compensated for time spent in prison, but the time will be forever lost.

    So that’s about 2.95M USD or 2.7M EUR, I wouldn’t go to prison for 18 years for that amount of money that’s for sure.

    On one hand, it’s not nearly enough. Nobody would voluntarily give away that much of their life for that much money, which is the standard they should use. OTOH, I’m surprised he got anything at all, because I’ve never heard of a government that would voluntarily admit any kind of liability for wrongful convictions.
