James Tillman served 18 years behind bars for a rape that DNA evidence later showed he did not commit.
Tillman can never get those years back. But in 2007, the state Legislature gave him $5 million in compensation for the injustice. Lawmakers also enacted a wrongful incarceration statute detailing the requirements that must be met the next time a person seeks compensation for being wrongly convicted and imprisoned.
