The house is never even with you if they lock you up for 20 years.
I'd probably get out and kill the DA that put me in.

Do duh crime, Do duh time. No excuses need be made for that scenario.

It's unfortunate that he was falsely imprisoned, however, he just made himself look bad.
So because he served time for something, he should never serve time again for doing something wrong?
Let's face it, must people who are falsely imprisoned are rarely innocent. Even if they didn't commit the exact crime they were charged with, they are usually trouble makers or hanging out with the wrong people. They are rarely totally innocent.

I bet he wouldn't have made 3.8 million working in that 20 years

Wow you are justifying him being in jail for 20 years basically because he's black and grew up inthe hood

You said the state owed him something. If you'd like to argue the fact that the settlement he received was inadequate, that is fine.
I sympathize with the fact that anyone falsely imprisoned is a terrible terrible situation. If he was a good person before, I'm sure it probably did F him up and if he was bad, I'm sure it did nothing but reinforce that behavior. Regardless of that, you can't bank prison time to be cashed in for future unlawful behavior.

Just because they wrongfully incarcerated you, doesnt mean you get a free pass to commit a crime with less jail time and get time served.
I understand what you're saying, but at the same time we are talking about non-violent offenses. I'm sorry, but 20 years in prison for something you didn't do---yeah, you might come out with a few mental issues. I'm not saying the guy should get a free pass, but I at least feel sympathy for him. Like the OP, I find the judge's comments irritating as well.
Edit: OP was Kashonly so I feel obligated to say that although I might agree with some of his points on this thread, I still love women.

Ok, you're losing me on this, though. Just because he was wrongfully incarcerated doesn't mean he can never be held accountable again.

I bet it really helped him grow as a person to sit in jail with all the murderers and rapists for 19 years.

I'm not saying the guy should be able to rob a bank and then be like "well hey you guys wrongfully locked me up for 20 years so we're even" type scenario, but I think in the case of such a minor crime like drug possession, the guy should have been given a pass.

I'm not "justifying" it. I'm simply stating that most of these "innocent" people who are locked up are rarely completely innocent. His bad behavior after being released only solidifies my point.
Now, let me get back to working with all these innocent people.

The state totally fricked this guy, and they only give him $3.8 million likes thats some sort of consolation for everything he missed in that time?
As much fricked up bullshite that goes on in our wonderful legal system, the judge could have given him a pass. Its not like what he did was hurting anyone.

Karma? Live like a thug and yea, you're more likely to be accused of that one thing you didn't do wrong.
