Rep. Omari Crawford

Maddy summaryThis bill (HR 130) authorizes the State of Georgia to compensate Sedrick Moore for wrongful imprisonment. It directs the Department of Administrative Services to pay Moore $1,691,280 total - $558,122 upfront and the remainder as a 10-year annuity - with the payment excluded from state income tax. The compensation follows Moore’s exoneration in 2023 after new DNA evidence revealed the trial’s key evidence (including DNA testimony and witness statements) was incorrect, leading to his 21-year wrongful conviction for rape and related charges. The resolution ensures the state receives credit if Moore later wins damages from a lawsuit against state officials over the same wrongful conviction.
