Wisconsin should pay Robert Lee Stinson $115,000 for sending the ?soft-spoken young man? to prison for 23 years for a murder he didn?t commit, Stinson?s attorney told a state claims board Thursday. The only evidence tying Stinson to the murder were bitemarks on Cychosz?s body that the state?s experts said came from Stinson, but a panel of four experts assembled by the Wisconsin Innocence Project demonstrated that the marks found on the 63-year-old woman could not have come from Stinson. Stinson also is seeking $14,000 to repay the UW-Madison-based Innocence Project for the 200 hours it spent to help free him.
