Wrongly Convicted of Shooting a Rabbi Dead

RicInOR · Jul 10, 2014

"Nineteen years ago, a Brooklyn Supreme Court judge sentenced Jabbar Collins to a prison term of 34-years-to-life for the murder of Abraham Pollack, a Brooklyn rabbi shot dead in the hallway of his apartment building. That day, Collins told the court he was innocent; the judge disagreed and said he wished he could send Collins off to a hard labor camp.

Today at noon, Collins is scheduled to appear before a different judge and receive much different news: the state of New York has agreed to pay him $3 million for the 15 years he lost behind bars, serving time for a crime there is very good reason to believe he didn't commit."

Note NYC has paid 1million/year to others, wrongly convicted.

That is bull-bubblegum , 3Mil for 15 stolen years that you can't get back. Add a zero to the right side of that 3.
