A year after gaining freedom, Lamar Johnson sues over his time in prison
www.stlpr.org
Johnson had long maintained he did not shoot and kill Marcus Boyd in 1994. A judge ruled last year that “clear and convincing” evidence showed Johnson was innocent and freed him after 28 years.

      Tbh after being robbed of 28 years I’d want more.

        You really wouldn’t need more if you put it into dividend stocks. You could live extremely comfortably on the dividends for the rest of your life.

        Edit: The yearly payout would be around $3m.

          After being forced to live like shit and losing your best years of your life, I’d not settle for ”comfortably”.

            $28m in a high dividend portfolio could easily pay you upwards of $3m a year.

            Remember, I said extremely comfortably, not just comfortably

    Good. They stole this man’s life. The evidence that exonerated him was available to the people involved with his protection 30 years ago. Insane that it took this long.
