DNA exonerates man who served 25 Years

[The`Dream]

http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/18274737/CHICAGO - After spending 25 years in an Illinois prison for rape, Jerry Miller was found innocent Monday after DNA evidence showed he was not responsible for the 1981 attack.After a judge vacated his conviction, Miller smiled, and a courtroom of his family and friends cheered."I will get on with my life, start a life, have a life," Miller said at a news conference after the court hearing. "I'm just thankful for this day."Good luck to this guy, that would suck so much. I'd probably just go and kill someone to get my ass right back into prison. But in all reality, I'd sue the hell out of the state that put me in the pin.

Wow. He deserves a BIG apology...or money...or something.

Then again, he did stay rent free at a 3-star hotel for 25 years...

I think if somebody is kept from 25 years of their life they deserve MILLIONS of dollars for all the time and life experience and opportunities they've missed and should be able to live the rest of their lives comfortably in luxury in return for such a damaging mistake.

There's a guy named Steven Avery in WI right now, he got out because of DNA after 15 years and one year later (last Halloween) captured, tortured, raped and shot/stabbed to death a women photographer that was on his property to take pictures of his car lot ....he and his 16 year old cousin took turns raping her....he just got sentenced to life and now the cousin is on trial, it's huge news everyday where I live.

They wasted a good chunk of his like with that mistake. At least if he gets the millions of dollars he can live the rest of his live in luxury.

In many instances, you have to sign a contract not to sue the state to go through this process.We gotta kill the death penalty in this country. Just too many f"ck ups to be trusted.
