As for a remedy? Great question, house him, provide him counselling for his ordeal, provide him with education credits to pursue the vocation of his choice? I don't know, cutting a cheque for 10.5 million just doesn't seem like an appropriate remedy.

Do you have an issue with David Milgaard receiving $10 million for serving 23 years in prison for a wrongful conviction? Should he have received housing, counselling and education credits but not a cheque?
