yeah, yeah. I fixed it.

Because the statute of limitations has run out, no one will ever charged or prosecuted for the crime.

why is there a statute of limitation on sexual assualt and kidnapping??

so even though with dna testing they now have 4 suspects, they wont even investigate (yes I understand that there isnt enough money to take care of recent crimes.)

/at least after 27 years he wins the floriduh justice system lottery.

Dear fellas,

I can't believe how fast things move on the outside. I saw an automobile once when I was a kid, but now they're everywhere. The world went and got itself in a big damn hurry. The parole board got me into this halfway house called "The Brewer" and a job bagging groceries at the Foodway. It's hard work and I try to keep up, but my hands hurt most of the time. I don't think the store manager likes me very much. Sometimes after work, I go to the park and feed the birds. I keep thinking Jake might just show up and say hello, but he never does. I hope wherever he is, he's doin' okay and makin' new friends. I have trouble sleepin' at night. I have bad dreams like I'm falling. I wake up scared. Sometimes it takes me a while to remember where I am. Maybe I should get me a gun and rob the Foodway so they'd send me home. I could shoot the manager while I was at it, sort of like a bonus. I guess I'm too old for that sort of nonsense any more. I don't like it here. I'm tired of being afraid all the time. I've decided not to stay. I doubt they'll kick up any fuss. Not for an old crook like me.

He should be allowed to commit pretty much any crime he wants since he has 27 years of time served.

Mr. Green will be happy to be walking miles after his release.

Texas justice at work.

His lawsuit will begin in 3...2...1...

Aeonic_Blue: This guy's life is just over. He's spent more than half his life in prison, and went in at a young age. There's absolutely no way he'll be able to function on the outside.

The sad thing is he's almost certain to actually commit a crime now just to go back.

Hopefully he finds the prosecutor and rapes him.

The really sad thing was how wrong the final sentence of the article was:

The irony is that Green would have been up for parole in October.

Bzzt! This poor sucker would never have been eligible for parole. Why? because he correctly maintianed his innocence, and unless you "accept reposnibility for your crime" in other words say you did it and thensay you are sorry, you don;t get parole, period. No matter how plausible your claim of innocence might appear from an objective review of the facts. So this means, in our system, innocent men wrongly accused who maintian their integrity and refuse to say they did somethign wrong whent hey didn't, stay in jail much longer than actual criminals who can muster crocodile tears for the parole board.

InfamousBLT: ShillinTheVillain: He should be awarded millions of dollars. Thanks to overzealous prosecution, he lost the best years of his life. He should never have to want for anything for the rest of his days.

This.
I mean they don't have to pamper him with yachts and stuff, just set him up in a nice middle class neighborhood, make sure he always has enough to pay the bills and have some extra spending money for things.
Not only is it fair to give him the life he could have had if he wasn't wrongly convicted, it would force the justice system to be a bit more careful with sentencing, or they'll be shelling out a lot of cash to innocents.

It's been done. Hasn't really made a bit of difference yet.

That said, I hope this guy gets a lot of money, finds a lawyer who won't screw him over, and a financial adviser who won't screw him over but will make sure he can comfortably live until he dies.

Also, second on the suing for false imprisonment. WTF.
