WRONGFUL CONVICTION COMPENSATION IN THE STATE OF MISSOURI...

MISSOURI'S WOEFULLY LACKING WRONGFUL CONVICTION COMPENSATION LAW:

Missouri provides compensation ONLY FOR INDIVIDUALS EXONERATED THROUGH DNA EVIDENCE.  An individual exonerated through DNA is eligible for $100.00 PER DAY of POST-CONVICTION CONFINEMENT.  

(§ 650.058, RSMo)


Under Missouri law, that compensation is paid to the exoneree in YEARLY INSTALLMENTS of $36,000 until it runs out.  Payments end upon the wrongfully convicted person's death.
