For more than 30 years, Chicagoan Stanley Wrice languished behind prison walls, convicted for a crime of rape he didn't commit, another victim of torture by police under the command of the now disgraced former police commander Jon Burge. In addition to beating a false confession out of Mr. Wrice, police also beat a witness into giving false testimony. In 1982, Mr. Wrice was sentenced to 100 years in prison. In a case that went all the way to the Supreme Court, Stanley Wrice was released last week, after over 30 years behind bars, one of the many wrongfully convicted victims of police torture. Is it possible to forgive and move on with one's life after being robbed of one's youth? What is fair compensation for such a loss? What should happen to the torturers?
