Would you spend 26 years in prison for $12 million?
I wouldn’t. And I suspect most of you wouldn’t either.
Yet some of you might be teetering, so what if I told you that the 26 years you had to spend in prison were between the ages of 17 and 43? Some of the best years of your life, gone. $12 million dollars doesn’t seem like much given those facts, does it?
Now let’s add one more layer of complexity: You didn’t get to choose this fate; prosecutors framed you, convicting you of a murder you didn’t commit.
That is exactly what happened to Terry Harrington. I blogged about his case reaching the United States Supreme Court. Yesterday, he (and another framey) reached a settlement with Pottawattamie County, Iowa for $12 million dollars. And despite this victory, I can’t help but feel a bit sad for Mr. Harrington, especially after reading his own words. A then 18 year old Harrington said at his sentencing:
I just want you to know that no matter what happens, I know I’m innocent, and as long as, you know, I feel that inside, then I’m going to keep on fighting because I know I can’t see myself locked up for the rest of my life for something I didn’t do . . .. I feel I was judged by the color of my skin and not the content of my character, and I’ll always feel that way until I get, you know, the kind of verdict the testimony shows, and that’s innocent or not guilty as they would say in the courtroom.
Good luck Mr. Harrington, I’m sorry there’s not more we can do for you.
