Even when a case like this occurs I still have a strong beleif in the death penalty -- as long as it is carried out when there is substantial physical and material evidence that the individual convicted is the individual who commited the crime -- i.e. -- The two jackasses on trial for the sniper shootings.

As for the compensation Mr. Austin should receive -- The state should provide him with an above average standard of living for the rest of his life. Nothing to crazy -- say $125,000 a year -- certainly better than what most make and unfortunately because of the amount of time he spent in prison -- more than he will ever be able to make, at least for a few years until he can at least get back on his feet.
