    Texas DNA exonerees find prosperity after prison

    http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20090904/...e_millionaires

    "DALLAS – Thomas McGowan's journey from prison to prosperity is about to culminate in $1.8 million, and he knows just how to spend it: on a house with three bedrooms, stainless steel kitchen appliances and a washer and dryer.
    "I'll let my girlfriend pick out the rest," said McGowan, who was exonerated last year based on DNA evidence after spending nearly 23 years in prison for rape and robbery."

    Lucky he made it out before they withheld evidence and executed him.

    I think the tax payers should get a refund as well... We paid for 23 years of false imprisonment... That money could have gone elsewhere...
