Description

Claims; Thomas Edward Haynesworth.  Provides relief in the amount of $796,428 to Thomas Edward Haynesworth, who was incarcerated for 27 years from 1984 until 2011 after being convicted of crimes of rape, sodomy, abduction with intent to defile, attempted robbery, and use of a firearm in the commission of a felony.  The convictions were for crimes in three different cases. Mr. Haynesworth has been issued a writ of actual innocence for all convictions in all of the cases.  The relief would be paid as follows: (i) an initial lump sum of $159,286 to be paid within the 60 business days immediately following the execution of a release by Mr. Haynesworth from any present or future claims he may have and (ii) the sum of $637,142 to purchase an annuity for the primary benefit of Mr. Haynesworth with the terms of such annuity structured in Mr. Haynesworth's best interests based on consultation between Mr. Haynesworth or his representatives, the State Treasurer, and other necessary parties.  The annuity would be purchased before October 1, 2012. In addition, the bill entitles Mr. Haynesworth to receive up to $10,000 for tuition for career and technical training within the Virginia Community College System.

The total amount of the relief was computed pursuant to the statutory provisions of 8.01-195.11. Read the Bill »
