Do exonerated clients automatically receive large financial settlements?
No. While twenty-two states have compensation statutes which allow wrongfully convicted persons to seek damages, Kentucky does not currently have such legislation. In fact, most exonerees walk out of prison without financial support and it can take years to litigate such a claim. Unfortunately, some exonerees are never compensated.
