Is Our Justice System Fair?

Read the article (link found below) about Tim Masters, the Colorado man who was put in prison for over ten years for a murder he did not commit. When DNA evidence surfaced proving his innocence last December, he was released from prison. After you read the article answer the following questions: (1) How should Tim Masters be compensated for the ten years he spent in jail? (2) Do you think our justice system is fair? Explain.
