Wrongfully Convicted Wisconsin Man Asks State For $6M

The Wisconsin Claims Board will consider the case of a man who spent 25 years in prison for a crime he didn’t commit.  Derrick Sanders is demanding five-point-seven-million dollars after prosecutors dropped the charges last year.  Compensation for wrongful convictions is limited to 25-thousand dollars in Wisconsin.  If the claims board turns Sanders down, he could decide to sue.  Prosecutors in the case reportedly don’t oppose granting him the full amount.
