A man who spent more than 16 years in prison in Florida on a wrongful conviction was shot and killed Monday by a sheriff’s deputy in Georgia during a traffic stop, authorities and representatives said.
Leonard Allen Cure, 53, was identified by the Georgia Bureau of Investigation, which is reviewing the shooting.
He was a poor black man in Georgia.
This was a statistically likely outcome.
He had just recently received an 800k payout for wrongful conviction in FL. I wouldn’t call him poor.
Would you actually go to jail for that long for that much money?
Get out of here lol.
If it were guaranteed? Maybe. I mean, I worked for 30+ years and ended up with less than that.
Didn’t say anything along those lines, just that it’s inaccurate to describe him as poor, when he just got a large payout.
Also if you’re curious there is dash and body cam footage of the incident: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7GrcptVf8Yk
Yeah bro he got like 56k per year with no rent, and there are no expenses in jail am I right? Plus I bet he probably only got his shit pushed in a couple times for it, he was loaded.
