Man exonerated of serial murders demands compensation in Krakow court

The Krakow Prosecutor's Office and the police department maintained that Wojciech B.was a serial murderer who shot five people. Thus Wojciech B. spent 31 months, beginning in August 1995, in prison. Last year the court finally found him not guilty. Wojciech B. is now demanding zl 28,000 in lost salary, as well as additional compensation of zl. 350,000 for emotional trauma. The court will presently decide whether the amount of zl. 28,000 for lost salary is appropriate, since Wojciech B. was unemployed for a year and a half before he was arrested. The Prosecutor's Office has not yet delivered its decision.(Rzeczpospolita, p.C1
