A man who spent 26 years in prison for a murder he did not commit will take home only a fraction of the $13 million awarded to him by a jury last week, thanks to a Massachusetts state law.
At just 26 years old, Michael Sullivan was wrongfully convicted of the 1987 murder of Wilfred McGrath, who was found with his feet bound with electrical wire and his body wrapped in a quilt outside a Stop & Shop in Somerville, according to reporting by The Spokesman-Review.
