Albert Wilson will not be compensated in wrongful conviction case, judge rules

Albert Wilson Not Entitled to Compensation in Wrongful Conviction Case

A judge has ruled that Albert Wilson, whose conviction in a Lawrence rape case was overturned, is not entitled to compensation under the state's wrongful conviction statute.

Wilson, now 29, was previously sentenced to more than 12 years in prison and lifetime post-release supervision after a Douglas County jury found him guilty of rape in January 2019.

The judge did not rule on whether Wilson was actually innocent, but instead stated that Wilson had to prove the prosecutor dismissed his case because he was actually innocent.

The judge ruled that this was not the reason the former district attorney cited for not trying the case again.

Author's summary: Albert Wilson won't receive compensation for wrongful conviction.
