Kirstin Blaise Lobato, who spent nearly 16 years in prison for a murder she did not commit, was awarded more than $34 million by a federal jury in Nevada.
After the civil verdict was announced, Ms. Lobato repeatedly hugged her lawyers outside the courtroom and told reporters that her search for justice had been an uphill battle.
I have no idea what the rest of my life is going to look like, Ms. Lobato told reporters. All I know is what the past has looked like.
Ms. Lobato's lawyers said that the jury's verdict brought an end to an ordeal that began when she was 18 and arrested in the murder of Duran Bailey.
