33. From a fellow CONVICT!

The grift is absolutely incomprehensible.

No crook/perp found even "Not Guilty" has EVER been compensated for the time and legal expenses they incurred for their defense. Far less anyone indicted, and subsequently convicted.

This is an intolerable outrage to the entire justice system.
