Titus has learned his lesson

there's no need to prolong his punishment

DNA will prove it was Kamali

[Campeon Del Mundo]

  He probably committed other murders but the cops framed him on this one...


after he's released he will be rearrested within one year...mark my word..

your probably right.  He had to be on some kind of radar to begin with.  If not though I think the people who put him behind bars (if alive) should do a few years now.  They took this mans life.

[Hulkster]

it could have been worse.

they could have given him the death penalty before finding out the truth..

Hey retard, if he has "god" , why didn't he just spare him this bullshit in the first fucking place? Is that beyond your comprehension, genius?

If something good happens, it was God's will.

If something bad happens...well, God works in mysterious ways.

all truth.

God has a plan for that little girl in a 3rd world shit hole that suffers from Aids, Malaria, Cancer, No parents and pregnant,  eating bugs out of a bowl made from petrified elephant shit while caring for her 13 brothers and sisters at the tender age of 8.  Yeah,  some fucking plan.

Exactly. But...but... we just don't understand this great being who loves us all, but tortures us for his entertainment.

Florida last year passed a law that automatically grants former inmates found innocent $50,000 for each year they spent in prison. No legislative approval is needed. That means Bain is entitled to $1.75 million.


Dude ...1.75 million...for 35 years...dude its not like it was from 45-80
 IT WAS 19-54.....Thats the best years..Its really fucked up

There has been cases in the Uk where prisoners that have been wrongly convicted have had to pay for their board and lodgings whilst in prison out of their compensation.

Victim of false rape claim must pay £12,500 for bed and board in jailBy SAM GREENHILL
Last updated at 00:00 01 January 2008

Comments (0) Add to My Stories A man wrongly jailed when a woman cried rape has failed to prevent being charged £12,500 for his "board and lodging" while in prison.
Warren Blackwell, 38, spent three years in jail as a convicted sex attacker until his 'victim' was unmasked as a fantasist.
It was revealed he has been awarded £252,500 compensation for his lost years - but minus the estimated cost of his food and accommodation while behind bars.
Mr Blackwell said he had failed to stop the money being siphoned off after his lawyer told him there was little to be done about it.
The father-of-two, said: "It's the principle of the thing. They slam you in jail for three years and four months, brand you a sex attacker, leave your family to cope without you, then turn around and say sorry but demand £12,500 for living expenses incurred during your time inside.
"I tried to fight against it but my solicitor says the only hope of overturning the decision would be to go all the way to the European Court of Human Rights. I would probably use up all the compensation money on legal fees if I did that."

 Warren Blackwell, with wife Tanya, is being charged £12,500 for his 'board and lodging' in prison despite being wrongly jailed
Mr Blackwell was jailed on the word of a woman who claims he seized her at knifepoint outside a village club early on New Year's Day 1999, marched her down an alleyway and indecently assaulted her.
She picked him out of an identity parade and a jury found him guilty, even though there was no forensic evidence and he had no previous convictions.
His wife Tanya never doubted him and an investigation by the Criminal Cases Review Commission later discovered that his accuser had invented the story.
Not only did Mr Blackwell not commit the crime, but the crime had never taken place.
It also emerged she was a serial accuser, having fabricated at least seven other allegations of sexual and physical assault against blameless men.
She kept changing her name and moving around, so police forces never realised they were dealing with the same woman.
Mr Blackwell, of Woodford Halse, Northamptonshire, was dramatically cleared at the Appeal Court in 2005, and lodged a formal bid for compensation.
It was accepted by the Government, but left to an assessor to calculate the actual amount. The assessor has now estimated that the portion of Mr Blackwell's compensation for loss of earnings - put at just over £70,000 - should be cut by 20 per cent to cover his "living expenses."
But Mr Blackwell said: "If murderers and robbers don't get charged for their time in the clanger, how come an innocent man does? It doesn't make sense and it is plain discrimination."
His solicitor, Robert Berg, said: "The adjudicator made a fair award of compensation for the suffering caused in this miscarriage of justice, however it is very unfair to charge him board and lodging.
"It is illogical that someone should have to pay for a punishment - which prison is - that should never have been given in the first place.
"Even though he was in prison, it doesn't mean there were no living expenses at his home. His family was still there, having to feed themselves and manage the home.
"So they cooked one less pork chop because he wasn't there - it's hardly a great saving, is it?"
The practice of charging "bed and breakfast" was challenged in 2007 by the Bridgewater Three, the men wrongly convicted of murdering newspaper boy Carl Bridgewater in 1978, but the principle was upheld by the House of Lords.

Relax....go turn on your Ipod and play some Lady Gaga, or something....



I still think you missed the point I was making. BTW, WTF is an "ass hat"? Would those be the same thing as Pants?

Also, what's a "higher motive"?

nice come back ass pants.

I don't know whether there's a tax exemption on any part of the award, but assuming he pays out 35% in taxes, at a conservative 6% return, he could earn $70,000 a year in interest.  So long as he doesn't buy a lot of stuff for his homies and gets a job at some point in the next couple of years, he should be able to live comfortably for the rest of his life.

1.75 million= cigarettes and a lot of Malt Liquor

Thanks to Janet Reno there are many more innocent men in Florida's jails due to the hysteria she created in the 80's over alleged child abuse.  Fact is children lie, and the so called child psychologists encourging them to lie.

We have to stop believing whatever children say and stop demonizing men in the media.

Well isnt there a thing called double jeopardy where you cannot be convicted of the same crime twice?  The little boy is what, 40 now?  Probably has a wife and kids.  Im sure he developed some sort of homo tendacies in jail for 35yrs, and if not pop a cialis and deal with it.....id go find the guy (since he picked him out of a lineup) and ass rape him in front of his family and then call the cops myself and smile.....nothing they can do about it....

[The Showstoppa]

Well, the guy would most likely have commited some other crime if he was out on the street anyway.

Ummmm, not that you are coherent enough to warrant a comment, but if he "ass raped" the guy in your gay fantasy scenario, he would be commiting a new crime and therefore the double jeopardy wouldn't apply.

haha, mass are you saying that "needsit2behuge" is just disappointed that he missed out on all the man on man action that this guy had for the last 35 years?

haah yes,  if being a turd burglar was a felony "need2spitsplooge" would be doing 12 life sentences.

haha, yes he's the kinda guy who goes to a video store and complains to the clerk that he rented "boys behind bars 2" and was offended by it.  Not because of the gay content, but because it just wasn't realistic enough according to his personal experience....

are you implying that while checking the paper "needs2dudes"  found an ad reading "Bear Hunters Wanted". He proceeds to dress in his assless chaps, Hulkamania tank top, leather cowboy hat, and 6 inch heels and head down for an interview. When the interviewer asks him how he intends to shoot bears in such an outfit, he replies "I don't want to kill them, i just want to suck their dicks." Gayer than windchill factors.

HAHAHA, are you suggesting needs2havehugecocks is the kind of "guy", who when his workpals go through his pink versace bag and find the porn flick "Bitanic", he replies in a high pitch voice that the hung muscular stud behind the desk at blockbuster is Dyslexic and needs a good spanking?
