A Milwaukee man spent 24 years in prison for crimes he didn't commit. Now a state board says he

should get $1 million.

A Milwaukee man who spent 24 years in prison for crimes he did not commit should be awarded $1 million for his wrongful conviction, a state board has decided.

Daryl Holloway was freed from prison in 2016 after DNA testing exonerated him in a rape case. He is the longest wrongfully convicted person released in Wisconsin

to date, according to the Wisconsin Claims Board.

"It's an apology," said Nathaniel Cade, one of Holloway's attorneys. "It's an acknowledgment that a lot of things went wrong."

Seems like Wisconsin has had a lot of problems lately. The taxpayers should be furious.

Should be way more than that. His life was stolen and they stalled for six more years to come up with that low-ball bullshit number.
