Compensation amounts for the wrongfully convicted

Answer 1

All states have different laws, some may be more lenient than others.

Step-by-step explanation:

The United States is an independent state and it allows for laws to be created, removed, changed, etc. Some states want to pay for Compensation to help with their reputation, but some will refuse to do so in certain situations.

Answer 2

Hello,

According to what I have read, this has been happening because every United States state is also a sovereign and independent entity in its own right and is granted the power to create and apply laws, and regulate them according to their needs. In addition, some laws, such as certain voting laws and criminal laws and statutes, tend to be somewhat uniform across states; nevertheless, some areas of law can be very, very different from one state to the next.
