Whatwe need to learn from this is how do we prevent this from happening.
Why did a jury convict a man based on a lie?
There is something broken in our system if it just takes a persons word or a childs tears to get you locked up.

It's impossible to repay this man for what has been done to him, however it should start with:
1) Totally fresh identity on the order of witness protection program - he will need this in order to live in peace.
2) His name expunged from all official court and prison records involving this case.
3) Financial compensation such that he is afforded a very comfortable lifestyle for the rest of his life - I am thinking a very nice house in a different place, and an income on the order of $100k annually for life.
4) Health insurance covered for life which includes psychiatric counseling and therapy to help him cope with having just spent the last 10 years in Hell on Earth.
That'd be a start...
That's ridiculous. The cost of living in society. Is it a bummer that this guy got screwed? Absolutely. Do I owe him something because he did? Nope. He received what he was entitled to. Due process, the chance to face his accuser, the right to a jury trial, the right to counsel.
He is far more responsible than I am for his lost years in jail.

Have to agree here.

Well i think he has a civil case against the state. Obviously the counsel he was given was bad, the police work by the stte was bad, the stte prosecutor was wrong.. He definitely has a case.

False. You aren't entitled to perfect justice. Nobody is. That's why we spend so much time on what you ARE entitled to, because it gets us as close to guaranteed justice as possible.

hahahaha because when someone you count on or love dies you have the right to sue who was responsible. This is separate from the person's criminal rights/liabilities. They honestly have nothing to do with each other. And it also has nothing to do with the state. I absolutely think he should be able to sue his daughter if he wants.

He can sue the police and prosecutor too. A jury would probably side with this guy.

In this case, I agree. It was not prosecutorial misconduct that got this guy thrown in jail.

That's a pretty big bit of faith there about there being no prosecutorial misconduct.
Further, the state financially compensates people (albeit more poorly than I have suggested above) whose convictions are later turned over by virtue of DNA evidence which was not even available at the time of their convictions.
This guy has ZERO chance at a life anywhere, but I guess that's all OK as long as it's not you who it happens to...
