compensated exoneration

Compensated exoneration occurs when an individual who was wrongly convicted is later found innocent, and in some cases, receives financial compensation for the time they lost and the injustice faced. This process acknowledges the wrongful conviction and aims to provide restitution, which can help address the harms experienced. The amount of compensation varies depending on the jurisdiction and circumstances but generally seeks to recognize the individual's wrongful imprisonment and support their reintegration into society.
