I'm glad that justice was partially served in this case. However, I think it is wrong that the prosecutors who withheld important evidence,and the witnesses who lied under oath, the the appeals judges who knew Ford was likely innocent are all getting off scott-free.

I would think it would be fair if those individuals had to pay some compensation to Mr. Ford, if not serve some "hard time" for their actions.
30 years is a long sentence for an innocent person. The part I hate about the fight to release wrongfully convicted prisoners is that so often the original prosecutors, even though now presented with convincing evidence of innocence still fight back against releases as if they are protecting their "baby"...That clearly isn't fulfilling their oath of office to promote justice.
