Case 1 Above
£990,000 = $1,910,898
£990,000 - 25% = £990,000 - £247,500 = £742,500 =
$1,433,173.50
Case 2:
£506,220 = $977,105.84
£506,220 - 25% = £506,220- £126,555 = £379,665 =
$732,829.38
1 British pounds = 1.9302 U.S. dollars
This "percentage" does not add up to the case below with O'brien:

O’Brien, who was 20 when he was convicted in 1988 of the murder of a Cardiff newsagent, was awarded £670,000 compensation. He will now have to pay £37,158 for "saved living expenses".

£670,000 = $1,293,234
£670,000 - £37,158 = £670,000 -
%5.54 = £632,842 = $1,221,511.63
Since it's tax dollars -this is all funny money. We should make the prosecuting attorney pay for the living expenses.
