“This day has been a long time coming. I am relieved and humbled to help correct this injustice,” said Dallas County Criminal District Attorney John Creuzot.
The guy’s 59, he’s been in prison for most of his adult life. He likely has no house, no savings, no family. While it’s obviously great that he was released, he ought to be given a sizable pension for the rest of his life at the very least… I don’t know what actually happens in cases like this, but if he’s just released without being given some kind of major compensation for the wrongful imprisonment, the injustice isn’t being corrected at all.
