In this Aug. 5, 2010 photo, Koua Fong Lee embraces his wife, Panghoua Moua, outside of the Ramsey County jail, moments after learning that Ramsey County Attorney Susan Gaertner would not seek a new case against Lee in St. Paul, Minn. Lawmakers are considering a bill that would compensate people who are wrongfully imprisoned in Minnesota, giving them at least $50,000 a year for every year they spent behind bars. Such a bill could help people like Koua Fong Lee, whose conviction in a crash involving a Toyota was overturned when it was revealed that the car had a problem with sudden acceleration. Lee was exonerated in 2010 after three years in prison. (AP Photo/Minnesota Public Radio, Tom Weber )
