Prosecutor gets 10 DAYS for withholding evidence that sent man to prison for 25 yrs

[Quantum Windbag]

The settlements most wrongly convicted people receive are relatively small. If the awards were much bigger, then things would change. For instance, this man should receive $2 million per year for his wrongful incarceration. I bet taxpayers would be looking for this former prosecutor to lynch him if they had to pay that kind of money. Hell, they might even hang him from a tree. Now that would be Texas justice.

Damn right. As with all crimes, when the penalty is slight, the crime continues. Lock up this prosecutor for 25 years and give his victim a bundle.

Damned straight. Start handing out 2 year sentences for every year a wrongfully convicted person spends behind bars when a prosecutor whitholds evidence and the problem will disappear overnight.
