 A Florida man who was wrongfully convicted of rape and murder has been denied compensation for the 37 years he spent in prison.

Robert Duboise, 55, was released from prison in August 2020 after being behind bars since 1985.

However, Duboise had previously been to prison for non-violent offenses, and according to Florida state law, anyone applying for prison compensation is required to have a clean record.
