    Clickbait title. It’s $175,000.

      Clickbaity writing, but also kind of a softball. “Annoy” doesn’t really cover my emotional reaction to this.

      At the very least he should be getting 50 years of federal minimum wage equivalent that he could have earned if he weren’t wrongfully imprisoned. If we do this the simplest possible way, $7.25/hr x 40 hr/wk x 52 wk/yr x 50 yr, that would be $754,000.

      Still not compensation for having your life stolen.

        Plus some extra for ruining his life. To be somewhat fair it should be like at least triple that.

        I’m not sure I’d give up 50 years of my life even for a few million dollars…

    Shouldn’t it at least be (potential yearly wage*50 + potential pension) adjusted for inflation?

    My shitty napkin calculations puts that at about 750k, which still isn’t a lot, but a helluva lot more than he actually got.

    $7.5 * 40h * 45weeks * 50years = lost wages = 675k Wages * 0.1 = pension = 67.5k

      I think most states have a set compensation outlined by law. However, he can sue for damages in a civil trial and win a more appropriate amount.

    Just adding insult to the injuries. Does anyone have an idea how they calculated this number? Or is this just a “maximum payout for this kind of things” in Oklahoma?

    Annoyed? Is that the word? I used to get annoyed. When I got a flat tire, when a plane was delayed. I used to get annoyed when the Yankees won the series. So if that’s what annoyed means, what am I feeling now?

    If you know the word, tell me because I don’t.

    I can’t even imagine how that would feel.
