Maybe I'm heartless, but why give millions of working class dollars to a bunch of lawyers in what will almost certainly be a slam-dunk loss? It's not like the carceral system will stop enslaving and torturing him if we pay them enough.
If you want him to be rewarded, give the money to his family, to his friends, and to the workers whose lives were disrupted because of this.
