On: 3rd Circuit vacates Weev's conviction [pdf]

[aroch]

This wasn't just an overturned verdict, this was a vacation due to process which is different.

Most states offer compensation packages to those wrongly incarcerated. Its usually a percentage of your expected income if you hadn't been put in jail

A percentage!? That doesn't even come close. Perhaps a multiple is more fitting.

[aroch → beambot]

A percentage is better than nothing, last time I was curious and looked it was 60-70% of your expected earning up to a max (120K/year IIRC) in my state. You can either take the `deal` so to speak or go to court for your compensation

[jmathai → beambot]

1000%

This rhymes with vacate:

"An error regarding venue exhibits many of the characteristics of structural error. If the District Court had found venue lacking upon Auernheimer’s motion to dismiss, there would have been no trial in New Jersey at all"
