I meant cocaine...

no amount of money can make up for 22 years in the slammer, but yeah, it would be cool if he could get enough cash to live a comfortable life to ripe old age I agree.....but if he could get a few million for some sort of wrongful imprisonment suit. But I do recall my wife telling me some time ago about a law that protects the state from law suits from this sort of thing…..I think the guy is screwed. Forget the lawsuits, the state should just pay something fair in these cases. Totally pathetic. Define fair? I mean really I would say five million is fair…..others might say wages lost is fair….. average salary in the state for 22 years plus 3x for damages, as I stated above. That seems fair for physical damages, but what about mental damages? How does one measure the affects of 22 years of wrongful imprisonment? there is no amount that can replace 22 years of ones life. YOu don't get that back. Free hookers and blow for life.

Better give it back.

I THINK IF YOU WENT AS THAT DUDE IN YOUR AVATAR IT WOULD BE FUNNY AS SHIT!!!!]]]]]]]]] Might scare the children. It doesn't take much work for that one. In fact I'm ready to go right now. You're not wearing any pants in that picture, are you.

I always knew that I was completely selfish, and that's why I never married in the first place. I knew I couldn't be trusted, so I didn't bother with long-term commitments, other than to MYSELF. God I love me. -I love me too.

No I wouldn't.

My fifth grade teacher thought I was strange.

no amount of money can make up for 22 years in the slammer, but yeah, it would be cool if he could get enough cash to live a comfortable life to ripe old age Depends on the state. I think some give minimum wage, some give average state income, some give what you were earning when you were arrested... how about the average salary of a resident of the state over the last 22 years, plus 3x that amount for damages. I've seen this come up before. (Someone else, that is.) They paid him lost wages, and that was it. No damages, because there was no evil intent. No crime, and no incompetence. They couldn't prove that anything was done maliciously; it was all done with the intent of upholding the law, and it was just too bad that he was in the wrong place at the wrong time. Nobody to blame. It just happened - he was convicted by a jury, and the jury was wrong. Oh, well. Here are your lost wages. Sorry about that. Goodbye.

that's funny, the thing I've noticed is how people who are majorly fucked up can trace it right back to something that happened to them in childhood. ...By their hetero parents.

Oh, yeah? Just ask my bible-belt, christan-nazi, midwest relatives about that. They'll set you straight (no pun intended).

It's not like he's the only one. 208 people so far have been freed by DNA evidence by the Innocence Project. "The Innocence Project was established in the wake of a landmark study by the United States Department of Justice and the United States Senate, in conjunction with Columbia Law School. Among the study's estimates are a 5% failure rate in the U.S. justice system, which suggests as many as 100,000 falsely convicted prisoners. Other reports place the estimate as high as 10%. 75% of wrongful convictions are caused by eyewitness misidentification."

"Oops, sorry!"

"I'm a lumberjack and I'm okay, I sleep at night and I work all day...!"

You watched "The Departed" recently, eh? Okay, maybe I should have put that line in quotes. I didn't see it recently, but that was one of my favorite lines from it... "Why don't you buy a suit... "

How izzit that you're aware of Malibu court operations? archenemy is omniscient origaminicient?

What did I tell you in the marriage thread? The conversation between me and my married friends: "Lets go ride bikes!" "I dunno. I gotta ask my wife first."

I said I was in purchasing - I've talked with two vendors today that told me they couldn't get their orders to me because the items I was ordering were in their San Diego warehouses, and they were closed. I just wondered if they were even still there. Got an email from another vendor saying don't count on your order coming on time from California... Then the lab technicians come yell at ME when they don't get things... "What do you MEAN the warehouse and the employees homes burned to the ground? I need these tubes!"

They look like they're ready to invade Poland.

Like the Katrina victims? Or anyone else living in a hurricane zone or a flood plain? Or spent the money on Cheetos instead of a health club membership?

Wut?

Purchasing.
