A man who spent more than 16 years in prison in Florida on a wrongful conviction was shot and killed Monday by a sheriff’s deputy in Georgia during a traffic stop, authorities and representatives said.

Leonard Allen Cure, 53, was identified by the Georgia Bureau of Investigation, which is reviewing the shooting.

      Didn’t say anything along those lines, just that it’s inaccurate to describe him as poor, when he just got a large payout.

      Also if you’re curious there is dash and body cam footage of the incident: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7GrcptVf8Yk

      • Yeah bro he got like 56k per year with no rent, and there are no expenses in jail am I right? Plus I bet he probably only got his shit pushed in a couple times for it, he was loaded.

          Your assigning way more to my statement than is there. If I hand you 800k and you don’t have a staggeringly huge amount of debt, you are not poor, by definition. Regardless of what travails you went through, how shit your life was before then.

          Because whether or not you are poor is not a description of how good or bad the events of your life have been to you, but how much money you have.
