Summary

Claims; Victor Anthony Burnette. Provides relief in the amount of $226,065 to Victor Anthony Burnette, who was incarcerated from October 1979 to November 1987 after being convicted of rape and burglary. Forensic testing conducted in 2006 using previously unavailable technology excluded Burnette as a contributor of evidence samples recovered from the victim. The compensation award is in an amount equal to 90 percent of the Virginia per capita personal income as reported by the Bureau of Economic Analysis of the United States Department of Commerce for each year of Burnette's incarceration. The payment of the award will be in an initial lump sum equal to 20 percent of the total compensation award to be paid on August 1, 2010, and the remaining 80 percent to purchase an annuity to be paid out in monthly payments over 25 years commencing August 1, 2011. In addition, the bill entitles Burnette to receive up to $10,000 for tuition for career and technical training within the Virginia Community College System. Under the bill, Burnette will immediately be ineligible to receive any unpaid amounts from the compensation award if he is subsequently convicted of any felony.
