After a High Court acquittal in 1997 he was paid $868,728 in compensation for wrongful imprisonment four years later, in 2001.
In 1980 Arthur Allan Thomas was paid $950,000 - worth about $4.5 million today - for the nine years he spent in prison after he was wrongfully convicted of murdering Jeanette and Harvey Crewe.
Mr Thomas' situation is closer to Mr Pora's - and based on Mr Thomas' payout Mr Pora should expect a sum in excess of at least $5 million.
