Quote:
HARTFORD, Conn. -- A Hartford man who spent 18 years in prison on a rape charge walked out of court Tuesday a free man, exonerated by DNA evidence.
James Calvin Tillman, 44, had been imprisoned since his arrest in 1988. He was sentenced a year later to 45 years in prison.
. . .
Neither Tillman nor his attorneys would say whether he plans to sue the state or seek other compensation. Unlike some states, Connecticut does not have a compensation policy for the wrongly convicted.

Ain't that some ****. How do you pay a man back for 18 years of his life in the prime years of living and all the psychological damage that goes along with being in prison so long. I hope he sues and I hope he wins a cubic ********* of money, summabitch deserves every penny. Thank goodness we don't castrate convicted sex offenders, you most certainly couldn't give those back, eh Neph?
That tired litany?
