You must be a neo-con, they feel the only one ever wronged is them and they are never wrong

First, if the conviction was wrongful, then the person is NOT a felon. Of course, the person might have had previous felony convictions, but concerning the wrongful one, calling the person a felon is wrong. A felon is somebody who commits a felony, and (s)he didna do it.
Then, if you are wrongfully convicted, you are the victim of a gross miscarriage of justice, you've been subjected to all kind of unpleasantness from police detention and interrogation to jail (or possibly death row) time, your life, if not completely ruined, has at least badly suffered, you may have lost your job, friends, family, good reputation... need I say more?
After suffering all this, and for something you did not do, some kind of compensation is definitely in order, even though money is not able to repair the moral damage suffered.

I'll tell you what. Let's frame you for a crime & let you spend about 10 years in prison getting cornholed on a regular basis, your family is destitute trying to pay for a fair trial for you, maybe your wife left with the kids, or maybe the kids are going through hell at school, your friends abandoned you, & you end up with a disease Ajax won't scrub off.
Now, You are walking into free air for the first time & have no idea where to begin. You have a huge anger & paranoia problem, & your life is a shambles. You may even wish you were back inside because you know what to expect in there.
Now aren't you ashamed for asking such an insensitive, thoughtless question?.

genuinely no longer. And in Arizona, they'd't. If Obama is getting felons to vote for him, he's as quickly as extra breaking the regulation. Obama would be a felon himself until now long. Democrat for McCain/Palin 2008.

compensation is the least that the state could do to these wrongful convicted people. the lost years, the shame, the humiliation - how does it feel like to be imprisoned for something done by other people? you should watch "in the name of the father". daniel day lewis shone in that movie. it's about miscarriage of justice.

You're 30, they decide you're innocent when you're 60.
Want to start a career? They should get the same pension
as congress, for life.
Just because our judicial system is in dire need of help &
no one seems to be bothered.

How would you like years of your life taken away from you for something you did not do?
