Is the wrong 'righted' though ? He was locked up >30 years, and now was recognized as innocent. Not even sure if that means that his prison time is expunged.

How can he be made whole ? Seems almost impossible.

I would say $60,000/yr plus a pension would be a start. At least that way he could have a home and maybe have a family of his own in the time he has remaining. Money doesn't fix everything but better a bandaid and a kiss on the booboo than a "tough luck, piss off", right?
