Dillon Got What He Needed & Deserved: An Apology And Compensation

March 1, 2012 will be a day William Dillon will always remember. William served 27.5 years for a murder he did not commit. He was proven innocent using DNA testing in 2008. He waited 3.5 years for the State to do the right thing and they have.

Gov. Rick Scott apologized multiple times to William during the signing of the bill that will compensate William for his wrongful conviction and wrongful incarceration.

Omg, just watched the program I didn’t do it, I watched all of the series, and Billy’s was the worse case, knowing you were innocent had kept you strong and you believed one day/month/year you would be proved not guilty, you look happy tho billy. God bless you.
I hope you have a long and happy life. Debbie )) xxx
