Document Summary
United states: he had to become violent in order to survive, after he was released, he was positive at first. He even got married, had a daughter, tried to hold a job but couldn"t (women claimed they were uncomfortable with working with him). Was eventually divorced by his wife, his daughter didn"t claim him: spends his life playing video games, never got any compensation. Said he"d rather be in jail, because at least he could work: he looked for two years and gave up. Now all he does is play video games in his little sister"s house: still technically has cori- criminal record offender information which isn"t automatically expunged. Few people understand what the word exonerated even means: most people never receive compensation but it is very difficult to sue the state. Some states have statutes that allow for compensation to the victims, which makes it easier.
