Man is falsly imprisoned and is denied compensation.

Anthony Graves spent 18 years in prison for a crime he did not commit. He was accused of slayings of a grandmother and five children in 1992. "The state comptroller refused to pay Graves the $80,000 for each year of wrongful imprisonment provided by law because the order dismissing the capital murder charges did not contain the words "actual innocence," as the statute requires."
"Graves has sued the attorney general, asking for a declaration of actual innocence, but [Attorney General Greg] Abbott's office said the law does not allow the attorney general to make such a declaration."

I think this case is very big and it is appalling to see such a thing happen, I do not have experience so say if the law does or does not allow the attorney general to make such a decision, but I think a normal person would see that compensation is needed.
