Guilty Until Proven Innocent

An orange picker from Southwest Florida is convicted of murdering his seven kids in a heinous poisoning.  He is sent to prison to die.  Twenty-one and a half years later he is freed after new evidence shows a questionable investigation and trial were conducted by the State of Florida.  Now, more than 40 years after the murders, he is fighting the state again.  He is blocked from collecting money from a state fund set-up for wrongfully convicted persons because he was never deemed "innocent".
