Wrongfully Convicted Man Becomes Millionaire - Michael Phillips had been living in a nursing home in Dallas battling sickle cell disease and living as a registered sex offender since he was released from prison in 2002. But more recently, Phillips was exonerated by Dallas County District Attorney Craig Watkins's Conviction Integrity Unit after a DNA test proved his innocence. In 1990, an allegedly sexual assault victim named Phillips as her assailant. “Texas law awards an exoneree $80,000 for each year of wrongful incarceration, so Phillips will get a lump sum of $960,000 and then $80,000 a year for as long as he lives,” according to CNN. (Photo: AP Photo)
