$6,250: What an Oklahoma inmate cleared of murder after nearly three decades could get per year behind bars thanks to state law.
An Oklahoma judge last week exonerated a man who had spent 28 years behind bars, in the nation's latest high-profile case of wrongful conviction.
“This runs counter to what I think most people assume, which is in the face of an incredible miscarriage of justice a person would receive an amount of money that would position them to begin their lives again,” Brown said. Atchison’s attorney, Joseph Norwood, told ABC News that the judge “indicated in her oral ruling from the bench Tuesday that she was finding him actually innocent by clear and convincing evidence,” but that needs to be finalized in a court hearing in September before Atchison can move forward with his effort to receive compensation from the state.
Wisconsin allows for $5,000 per year of imprisonment, but has a cap of $25,000 -- however a review board can petition for extra funds. New Hampshire has a $20,000 cap. Montana allows for tuition, room and board at a state community college, but offers no monetary compensation.
