BBC News - China clears murderer after 'victim' shows up alive

A Chinese man who spent almost 10 years in jail for murder has been freed after his supposed victim was found alive

Mr Zhao's conviction for murder was reportedly based mainly on a confession. His brother said police had forced him to drink chilli-tainted water and set off fireworks above his head to extract one.

Mr Zhao was initially sentenced to death for the crime, but the sentenced was commuted to 29 years in prison. While he was in jail, his wife remarried and several of his children were adopted.

How many bajillions would that guy get if that happened in some sort of civilised country?

Wow.

Probably not much, as it happens in "civilized" countries all the time.

Think it was around 10k innocent peeps get locked up every year in the US.

Also some percentage of the executed prisoners are inncent.
