Anthony Hanemaayer's dilemma was real: risk a lengthy sentence in a federal prison for a crime he didn't commit, or admit to that crime for the certainty of a shorter sentence in a reformatory. His choice was not unreasonable, but having to make the decision was wrong. Punishment should not be directed to whether the accused decided to exercise his or her right to have a trial.

Thankfully he was cleared in the end but he has missed out on a good portion of his life. Is he able to seek any kind of compensation or would that be forfeited since he pled?
