Taxing their settlements continues to punish the innocent.

It is even WORSE to do that when you convicted an innocent person! No amount of money they receive can make up for all the damage that was done to the family, the inmates health and reputation being tarnished forever, and the stigma the family on the outside had to and sometimes will still have to face. It’s BEYOND ridiculous to tax them after the fact. Change the tax law!!!!

That poor man sat in prison for years for something he did not do. His wife stated he was home all night but her account fell on deaf ears. Clarence sat in that cell, not being able to see his son's grow up, to see the milestones in their lives. He missed out of 7 1/2 years. That is physical and emotional abuse. The family has every right to be compensated. Yes, they settled for a lump sum amount, they wouldn't have that kind of money if this didn't happen. What happened SHOULDN'T HAVE HAPPENED! The shouldn't not be taxed for it, especially because he was innocent the whole time!

Black men (and white men) alike are stereotyped in divorce, theft, murder, etc. There are backlogs of rape kits that remain untested for years (due to lack of funding...), police brutality of incomitant untrained officers (seen first hand living in Philadelphia for 11 years...), and lack of rehabilitation for petty criminals. Ugh, what a mess this country is in. May this tax reform be one step in a positive direction.

This situation should be considered physically and mentally detrimental and therefore at very least given some kind of tax credit.

No amount of money can undo the damage to family, finances, and to the body. Paying taxes on money that would not have been awarded in the first place if the Justice System was more fair and honest is like another kick in the teeth of the ones who have suffered. Tax the tax out of the pay of those who prosecuted on a THEORY and not based on evidence.

]]> Sat, 24 Aug 2013 10:29:55 UTC 15696526 https://gopetition.com/signature/locate/15377468?utm_medium=rss It is unconscionable for the government to falsely imprison someone, then be ordered to pay compensation for that wrongful imprisonment, and then expect to receive tax revenues from that judgment.

]]> Thu, 23 Aug 2012 04:16:10 UTC 13594880 https://gopetition.com/signature/locate/13565716?utm_medium=rss I do believe that there is very severe injury, both physical and emotional, done to those who are falsely accused and imprisoned.
