    They should. I read where their attorneys will be filing their lawsuits shortly. But how in the hell can you put a dollar amount on 20 years of someone's life. No amount of money could compensate for 5 years, let alone 20.  It's unbelievable that this could happen.

    Bean has a very interesting job and I like how she shares it with us, but I feel I am not giving her nearly as much attention as she deserves.  I don't read all these isolated incidents in detail these days.  But I like that she does this.

    I don't know. Is there evidence that the prosecution knew the charges were false? Your link does not say that they did.  If they were simply going by the information they had available then no they were just doing their jobs.
