Cathy Woods, a US citizen, has been acquitted of murder and spent 35 years in prison.
According to ABC, she was cleared of DNA testing in a cigarette found at the crime scene.
Cathy's lawyer also said her client would receive $ 3 million in compensation under federal civil rights.
It appears that Cathy will continue to demand higher compensation from the city of Reno, Nevada because she accuses senior judicial officials of fabricating her confessions after the crime.
Her lawyer, Elizabeth Wang, confirmed that her client was ill at a psychiatric hospital in Louisiana in 1979, when the murder took place.
Cathy was released in 2015, after the truth emerged in the murder of a student at the University of Reno
A colleague is the one who got involved in killing him.
According to US court records, Kathy is the most unjustly imprisoned American and later acquitted and now lives with relatives in Washington state.
The lawyer asserted that there is no compensation that can compensate the prisoner for what she suffered in prison and for her age, who went to prison, but the money will guarantee her at least some care.
According to a Nevada law enacted this year, people unfairly convicted can claim damages in excess of $ 3.5 million.
