Maximum compensation: 500,000 pounds


If you were to serve 15 years in prison for a crime you did not commit, what would be a fair monetary compensation for you? Personally, no amount of money could make up for what I would have gone through. If I had to put a number on what I think I'd need to live the rest of my live comfortably, it would have to be in the millions.

In Canada and the US, the compensation for victims is usually in the multi-millions. After watching this movie, I was shocked to learn that, even to this day, the UK has a cap of only half a million pounds for compensation - quite an embarrassing figure.
