Thousands of people are raising money online for a Missouri man who served 43 years in prison for a crime he didn't commit.

Kevin Strickland, 62, was exonerated Tuesday morning after serving decades at Western Missouri Correctional Center in Cameron, Missouri. Strickland was convicted in 1979 of one count of capital murder and two counts of second-degree murder in a triple homicide. He received a 50-year life sentence without the possibility for parole for a crime that, over the years, he maintained he had not been involved in.Senior Judge James Welsh dismissed all criminal counts against Strickland.

"To know my mother was underneath that dirt and I hadn't gotten a chance to visit with her in the last years ... I revisited those tears that I did when they told me I was guilty of a crime I didn't commit," Strickland told CNN's Brianna Keilar Wednesday.

People that have (for any reason) been put in prison & then found to be innocent should upon release be paid $1million per year of their imprisonment. Cost makes government act carefully.

Birth in this planet awesome. What a cruel conduct by fellow beings.

jadande The State don't Pay him for the mistake?

This man got arrested in 1978 they did not use DNA at that time they started using DNA in 1987 February 21st he is due money Millions but y'all don't want to give it to him because he's a black man and I think that's unfair

Sue this government and stop waiting on contributions, sue anybody involved. This is ridiculously overwhelming. Sue them and let the whole nation know what’s going on. There can be wrong people in government.

They’ve destroyed his life, how can you live like a normal human being after this? Let his accusers pay him for wrongful detention.

I'm sure there will be comp at some point, but sad situation and Im sure there are others that are innocent as well...

Wait he ain't sue the government yet? That's always the first step. They it least give you a milli and say 'our bad'

Missouri lawmakers more criminal than many of those in prison.

I gave to his gofundme…he deserves so much more than money. Since giving him time back isn’t an option $ is all we can

So many years so many tears sad situation
