People who are wrongfully convicted are a unique vulnerable group. However, not all exonerees get compensated for their time in prison. This research explores public opinion on compensating wrongful convictions from erroneously rejected affirmative defenses and from false guilty pleas. Using a randomized survey experiment of 1,000 US adults, this research found that (1) most respondents supported wrongful conviction compensation, regardless of wrongful conviction types and plea status. (2) Wrongful conviction types matter. People supported compensating exonerees in the self-defense case as much as in the wrong person case. The amount of compensation people gave in the mistaken self-defense case was smaller than that in the self-defense case, and larger than that in the insanity case. (3) People equally supported compensating the exonerees whether they falsely pled guilty or not. The findings could inform policymakers of an appropriate wrongful conviction compensation scheme and have implications for the intake policies of innocence organizations. The results also furthered the understanding of the psychological mechanisms underlying the compensation decision-making process.
