i think its safe to say i would be beyond mad. of course its easy for me - having never been in prison for a term even close to that long - to say that. maybe after 20 years one's will is broken and the mind just wants to move on. or maybe the overwhelming joy of beautiful beautiful freedom is the only thought on his mind for the time being. when the novelty of that wears off and the feeling of significant loss sets in maybe his sentiments will be different. we only have one chance to live our life, and if half of mine had been taken away despite my (sincere) cries of innocence, i would be livid to say the least.

He may not voice any resentment...at least not until after the financial settlement.

After 35 years he probably got over being angry, about his predicament, a long time ago.

I'm not going to trade 35 years for $1.75 million but at least he got some consolation all these years.
