(London Independent) A man who spent more than three decades behind bars for a crime he did not commit is fighting to up his compensation after receiving just $75.
Lawrence McKinney, now 60, of Memphis, Tennessee, spent 31 years in prison after he was wrongly convicted of raping a woman and stealing her television in 1978.
He was sentenced to 115 years in prison – 100 years for the rape and 15 years for the theft. He was released in 2009 after new DNA evidence found that he was not even on the scene.
