NT$23.9m may not satisfy former death row inmateBy Jason Pan / Staff reporterFormer death row inmate Hsieh Chih-hung (謝志宏) and his lawyers were yesterday considering whether to appeal the Tainan branch of the High Court’s decision to compensate him NT$23.919 million (US$838,058) for spending more than 18 years in prison. Former death row inmate Hsieh Chih-hung, right, and his lawyer Tu Hsin-cheng are pictured in Tainan on May 15. The High Court on March 14 last year accepted the petition and ordered that Hsieh’s sentence be temporarily suspended. The retrial was held in May, and the High Court acquitted Hsieh of all charges. However, the High Court did not agree and reduced the amount to NT$3,500 per day, as the judges did not find wrongdoing by the police.
