If an innocent person IS exonerated, they more than likely will not receive any compensation for their ordeal. Even if they do, their lives are often irreparably damaged, and they themselves are changed forever.

And the unrelenting work of @we_are_APPEAL in uncovering failings, finding evidence to exonerate Andy, and supporting him through and beyond his successful appeal. But in Andy's own words "it doesn't go away".
