There is also a reasonable chance that he may not get compensation if they can't prove their innocence beyond reasonable doubt (and just being freed, even on the basis of DNA evidence, isn't necessarily enough proof of innocence).
But if they can't prove guilt, then isn't he innocent according to law?
Which means wrongful imprisonment.
That seems a hopelessly naive view
