AUSTRALIA: Somali man paid $525,000 for wrong conviction

MELBOURNE (Somalilandpress) — A MAN wrongly convicted and jailed for rape has been awarded $525,000 by the state government.

Farah Jama, 22, launched his compensation bid after spending 15 months in jail when his DNA sample contaminated one taken from a woman allegedly sexually assaulted at a Doncaster nightclub.

He was released in November, with prosecutor Brett Sonnet labelling the case a ”substantial miscarriage of justice”.

The woman, 48, who was allegedly attacked had little memory of the July 2006 incident and, Mr Sonnet said, the risk of DNA contamination was never explained to the jury.

The jury rejected his pleas that he had never been to the nightclub and he was sentenced to six years’ jail, with a minimum of four years.

Mr Jama’s lawyer Hina Pasha, told the ABC last night that the settlement had been reached on Friday.

”Provided that Mr Jama is happy and can move on with his life it’s an adequate settlement,” she said.

Ms Pasha said Mr Jama was seeking a personal apology from Attorney-General Rob Hulls, who has apologised publicly.

Mr Hulls last night confirmed the payout.

”The government had no legal obligation to compensate Mr Jama but believed it was the right thing to do and, as a consequence, has settled this matter by way of ex-gratia payment,” he said.

Mr Jama’s family is reportedly considering legal action against the state government and Victoria police for nervous shock suffered during the ordeal.
