The state of Wyoming does not pay restitution to people incarcerated for wrongful convictions.

Skavdahl pointed out a case can't be re-litigated once judged on its merits.

Like many states, Wyoming doesn't have a law requiring exonerated prisoners to be compensated.

New legislation says that individuals exonerated based on DNA evidence have to return to court to prove their innocence in return for compensation.
