Death-row inmate freed after 17 years
The Death Penalty is beyond flawed. This is just another case where so much was wrong: Withholding of evidence, Drugging of the Defendent(!), and No Motive. After 17 years of his life basically wasted, Ernest Willis walked out free on Wednesday and what was his compensation?
Willis, who at one point brushed aside a tear as his voice choked with emotion, was given a plaid shirt, green pants and white running shoes, along with 10 days worth of medication, legal documents and $100, the standard amount given to released inmates.
$100 for 17 years!?
Apparently that's how it works in Texas.
