　　据海南省高级人民法院透露，一名男子曾因杀人纵火罪而含冤入狱23年，上周五判定将由国家对其支付不少于275万人民币(约合42万1850美元)的赔偿金。

　　今年53岁的陈满因证据不足，在二月份的时候由浙江省高级人民法院宣布无罪释放。在这场判决前，他曾为自己提起许多无罪上述，甚至曾上述到最高人民法院。

　　Chen had served the longest jail term for a wrongful conviction known in China, and also has received the greatest amount of State compensation for wrongful conviction so far, Wang Wanqiong, Chen’s attorney, told the Global Times.

　　陈满的律师王万琼告诉《环球时报》说，陈满是中国目前已知的含冤入狱时间最长的人，同时也是因错判而获得国家赔偿金最多的人。

　　The 2.75 million yuan compensation contains more than 1.85 million yuan for loss of personal freedom and 900,000 yuan for psychological trauma, the High People’s Court of Hainan Province said on its official Weibo account.

　　"Chen and his family have no time to continue the struggle for compensation considering that Chen has lost two decades of his life and his parents are getting older," Wang said.

　　王万琼说：“陈满和他的家人没有时间来继续要求更多的赔偿金了，因为陈满已经失去了20多年的光阴，而他的父母们都在变老。”

　　当地检察院还曾经认为对陈满的判决“太轻”，要求对陈满执行死刑。据新华社报道，海南省高级人民法院拒绝了这一要求，从那时开始，陈满开始了自己长达16年的无罪上述。

　　Wang suggested that the State Compensation Law include more detailed clauses, so the future victims of wrongful conviction could get more reasonable compensation.

　　王万琼律师建议《国家赔偿法》应该包含更详细的条款，将来含冤入狱的受害者就能够得到更合理的赔偿。

　　Chen is one in a string of high-profile exonerations.
