It's baffling to me that miserable pointless decades locked in a shithole American prison with no hope of release is seen as more merciful than death. I know which one I'd choose

Wait the guy spent 40 years in prison and all the judge had to say was that he should watch who he trusts? loving :suicide:

He said "because everybody will want a piece of you", so I assume he meant that in relation to the compensation money Jackson was paid

Its funny how everyone who have wrongly punished for no reason ended up having to fight lenghty court battles in order to be compensated. We do not attempt to compensate them. We fight them tooth and nail and eventually accept to give them a modest sum as a settlement for the promise that they will shut up about their experience.

That depends on the state I think. Some of them are much bigger assholes about it than others. There are at least a couple where compensation is automatic.
