An overturned conviction recently freed Lamar Johnson after he spent 28 years behind bars for a 1994 murder that a judge ruled he did not commit.
With a wrongful conviction overturned, Johnson has the opportunity to rebuild his life outside of prison. A Missouri statute might make that a bit challenging for him early on, at least financially.
Missouri statutes only allow "restitution," or compensation for exonerees, if their conviction was vacated through a specific process involving DNA testing.
