“Whatever your truth is, you have to stick with it’’ -- Cornelius Dupree Jr.
Tyranny costs taxpayers -- especially when it is based on lies.
Under Texas compensation laws for the wrongly imprisoned, Dupree is eligible for $80,000 for each year he was behind bars, plus a lifetime annuity. He could receive $2.4 million in a lump sum that is not subject to federal income tax. The compensation law was passed in 2009 by the Texas Legislature.
Of course, no amount of money can buy back time.
