Tennessee Man Gets $75 After Being Wrongly Imprisoned for 31 Years, Fights for Compensation

A Tennessee man who served 31 years in jail for a crime he didn’t
commit is petitioning the state to compensate him $1 million for the
years of his life that were taken away. All he’s gotten so far is $75.

In October 1977 a Memphis woman was raped in her home by two
intruders. She later identified one of them as her neighbor, Lawrence
McKinney, who was 22 at the time. He was convicted on rape and burglary
charges in 1978 and sentenced to 115 years in jail.

DNA evidence cleared him of the charges in 2008, and when he was
released in 2009, the Tennessee Department of Corrections gave him a $75
 check to restart his life.

“Because I had no ID it took me three months before I was able to cash it,” McKinney told CNN.

Now the 61-year-old is asking Tennessee Gov. Bill Haslam to exonerate
 him. The Tennessee Board of Parole, which makes recommendations to the
governor, denied McKinney’s request by a 7-0 vote at a hearing in
September.

Board voted against McKinney’s exoneration

A formal exoneration could open a pathway to $1 million in
compensation from the state Board of Claims for the decades McKinney was
 wrongfully imprisoned.

“The (parole) board reviewed all relevant information related to the
crime, conviction and subsequent appeals, as well as all information
provided by the petitioner,” said Melissa McDonald, spokesperson for the
 Tennessee Board of Parole. “After considering all of the evidence, the
board did not find clear and convincing evidence of innocence and
declined to recommend clemency in this matter.”

One of McKinney’s attorneys, Jack Lowery, believes the decision should rest solely with Haslam.
