WELLINGTON — A New Zealand man who spent nearly 18 years in prison for a murder he did not commit will receive a multimillion-dollar compensation package, the government said on Friday (Aug 18).
Courts have a really hard time admitting to any wrongdoing. When someone innocent gets released, they see it as a loss, because they don’t care about justice. They decided this man was guilty for whatever reason, and a win for them would have been to keep him imprisoned. His innocence is irrelevant to their decision.
