SB 772 Claims; Danial J Williams, Joseph Jesse Dick, Jr., Eric Cameron Wilson, and Derek Elliot Tice.

SUMMARY AS PASSED: (all summaries)
Claims; Danial J Williams, Joseph Jesse Dick, Jr., Eric Cameron Wilson, and Derek Elliot Tice. Provides for the relief of Danial J Williams, Joseph Jesse Dick, Jr., Eric Cameron Wilson, and Derek Elliot Tice, also known as the Norfolk Four, who were wrongly convicted of the rape and murder of Michelle Moore Bosko. The relief for each claimant is contingent on the claimant's entering into an agreement requiring the City of Norfolk to compensate him at least the amount of the state relief.
The bill authorizes the Commonwealth to provide additional compensation to a wrongfully incarcerated person if a state or local officer fabricates evidence used to obtain a wrongful conviction and withholds evidence establishing the person's innocence. Such compensation is in addition to compensation for wrongful incarceration and may not exceed the amount awarded for wrongful incarceration. The bill provides that such additional compensation shall not become effective until the wrongfully incarcerated person releases any claims against the Commonwealth and, if applicable, enters into an agreement with the agency or locality that fabricated and withheld evidence whereby such agency or locality matches the amount of compensation provided by the Commonwealth. This bill is identical to HB 762.
