In New York a man named Alan Newton was wrongfully convicted for 21 years. He lost 21 years of his life in prison and is now being released and being awarded 18.6 million dollars. DNA test shown that he was actually not guilty for the crime. The only problem is that the city now does not want to pay him the 18.6 million dollars. I do not think that it is fair at all. First of all they took 21 years of his life and he will never get it back again. The 18.6 million dollars still will not replace those years of his life. It should only be fair that he does get the money. Losing years in your life is a horrible thing and on top of that all the pshycolgical trauma he must be going through. Allot of people come out of prison a different person. The amount of time that he did must have changed him for sure. In my opinion the money should be given to him without a doubt.
