    After being in jail for 30 years?

    I would use my money to get revenge on all the people who put me there.

    DALLAS – A Texas man declared innocent Tuesday after 30 years in prison had at least two chances to make parole and be set free — if only he would admit he was a sex offender. But Cornelius Dupree Jr. refused to do so, doggedly maintaining his innocence in a 1979 rape and robbery, in the process serving more time for a crime he didn't commit than any other Texas inmate exonerated by DNA evidence.
    "Whatever your truth is, you have to stick with it," Dupree, 51, said Tuesday, minutes after a Dallas judge overturned his conviction.

    I'd give at least $100k of it to the woman who got raped, if I believed she was a victim like me. After that, I'd hire a great author to write a book about the ordeal to make more money for me, so I could get a Luxury Box at TC. And I'd hire Patti the Millionaire Matchmaker to find me a wife who loves the Rockets.

    Happy ever after. Screw the parole board who wanted me to take the easy way out. I'll just tell the author to make them look really bad in the book...naming names. FTW

    I'm trying to think reasonably here, and put myself in the position of a man who had 30 years of his life waste away in jail...

    Hookers. 30 years in jail, and not having the touch of a woman? Most of that money is going to be wasted on hookers.

    Getting someone to write a book for you also sounds like a good idea that was mentioned earlier. Ride what little fame you can get, milk the attention, make more money.
