Man exonerated for murder after years in prison kills man in road rage incident

So do they let him go for time already served?

That would be a pretty shitty thing for the Justice system to do, so I hope not. It would be a huge disservice to the person he killed. 
 

what they should do is give him a million dollars for his time served and hold it in a trust so that his new victim’s family could sue for a million and a half. That would be true Justice.

He was probably angry about having to serve 8 years in prison for a murder he didn't commit. 

Sounds like he did 8 years of gladiator school and got unleashed into the world with a "be the first to react" mentality.

To be fair, I doubt the dead guy would notice.

I mean, don't you kind of have to? Set the ledger back to zero.

I haven't spoken to him since the incident, so I can't argue with your position.

All the budget hawks and ACLU types who used to question why Texas Department of Criminal Justice would research a formula for a delayed acting lethal injection that works over the course of 8 years must feel pretty foolish now. 

Wait - there was a plan to only feed them Big Macs?

The news reporter tried to reach him for a comment but were not able to reach him

Went in an innocent man, came out a murder.

proof that prison changes a man.

That's the first thing I thought, did the 8 years he served after being wrongfully convicted and sentenced warp him? Wonder what kind person he was before? Previous legal problems?

Why would he stop getting paid if he’s convicted?

Before the wrongful murder case, he had previously done 10 years in prison for Aggravated Robbery, a year in state jail for credit card abuse, and 6 months in state jail for theft.

Guy needs to call JG Wentworth and get his cash now.

Dude gets out of jail and is all like "Some shitty ass driving mofos out here. Fucking idiots, too!" Bam! "Take that, bitch ass."

His new lawyer charges exactly $673k. What a coincidence.

Yeah that’s typically how the wrongfully accused people become wrongfully convicted- they have lots of prior bad actions and the cops “round up the usual suspects” and the jury shrugs shoulders and convicts.

Right. And if they go to trial, the threat of the prior convictions becoming admissible evidence often keeps them from testifying.

"The system made us vicious, swear to God; someone play with me, my trigger-finger get 'em. GET EM!"

Is there a pool for how long it will be when TxTow gets arrested, after whenever it is he gets released

I don't think he can be legally carrying a firearm and claim self defense after being convicted of aggravated robbery, which is a first degree felony.
