That’s some real life evil twin energy wild how a face can steal 17 years of someone’s life.

Is there more information?
Because looking like the person and living “near” the crime scene isn’t exactly evidence the other guy committed the crime.
Presumably the original court case was won based on more evidence than that.
Like is this just the argument the original guys lawyer made and the original guy was likely guilty?

64k a year for wrongful imprisonment? But 50k sign up bonus to round up POC? Maybe your gov should stop spending so much on healthcare so there’s money left over for this type of stuff… /s
