So do they let him go for time already served?

That would be a pretty shitty thing for the Justice system to do, so I hope not. It would be a huge disservice to the person he killed. 
 

what they should do is give him a million dollars for his time served and hold it in a trust so that his new victim’s family could sue for a million and a half. That would be true Justice.

All the budget hawks and ACLU types who used to question why Texas Department of Criminal Justice would research a formula for a delayed acting lethal injection that works over the course of 8 years must feel pretty foolish now. 

Wait - there was a plan to only feed them Big Macs?

He was probably angry about having to serve 8 years in prison for a murder he didn't commit.

Sounds like he did 8 years of gladiator school and got unleashed into the world with a "be the first to react" mentality.

That's the first thing I thought, did the 8 years he served after being wrongfully convicted and sentenced warp him? Wonder what kind person he was before? Previous legal problems?

Before the wrongful murder case, he had previously done 10 years in prison for Aggravated Robbery, a year in state jail for credit card abuse, and 6 months in state jail for theft.

Yeah that’s typically how the wrongfully accused people become wrongfully convicted- they have lots of prior bad actions and the cops “round up the usual suspects” and the jury shrugs shoulders and convicts.

Right. And if they go to trial, the threat of the prior convictions becoming admissible evidence often keeps them from testifying.
