US man awarded $1m after 27 years wrongfully jailed
Michael Sullivan spent more than 27 years in a Massachusetts prison for a murder he insisted for years he didn't do. He was released in 2013 after a new trial and new DNA technology proved his innocence.
Earlier this month, Sullivan was awarded $13m (拢10m) from the state, though Massachusetts regulations cap rewards for wrongful convictions at $1m.
Sullivan, who lost his mother and four siblings while jailed, says the money will "never make up the years" he lost.
