Amazing wrongful conviction

Howard had a great story about Michael Pardue, who was apparently wrongfully convicted, released, and is now struggling to survive (and get some sort of compensation).

In 1973, just a few short years after Dylan’s beat generation anthem was a national hit, Pardue was wrongfully convicted and sentenced to life in prison. In 1997, all charges against him were dropped. This story should have a happy ending by now but on the Richter scale of justice, this one is off the charts. In a logic-defying decision, Pardue remains behind bars for another crime: escape.

Remind me not to get wrongfully convicted in Alabama.
