| Subject: Not good enough: Connecticut Man Wrongly Jailed for 21 Years Gets $6M Award Fri Jan 30, 2015 1:41 am | |
| A man who was wrongfully imprisoned for 21 years for the rape and killing of a mother of four was awarded $6 million Thursday from the state of Connecticut. The state claims commissioner issued the award to 44-year-old Kenneth Ireland under Connecticut's wrongful incarceration compensation law, saying in a report that "no words or dollar amount will suffice to give him back the time that he lost and the misery that he endured." "Mr. Ireland was wrongfully convicted and was labeled a murderer and sex offender and was forced to spend a long portion of his life in maximum security prisons, where he experienced twenty one years of violence, sleepless nights and the constant fear and hopelessness that he would die in prison as an innocent man," Claims Commissioner J. Paul Vance Jr. said in his report.
