In jail for 35 years and he gets a slap on the back with a "Have a nice life" gesture.....bet the "victim" is reflecting on his role in that.

The victim was 9 years old at the time of the assault. Pretty young age to go through that kind of trauma and most definitely something to shake any memories he would have of the incident.

 As he was jailed and found innocent they must now pay him a life ! And lawyers will line up for this one for a big pay day . He also deserves it .

"Describe to us the moment the judge said to you, your free?"

"Well to be honest I was upset and heartbroken"


What any other answer would that reporter be expecting with a question like that!?

Its like walking over to a kid who just snapped his leg in two places and asking "Are you ok?"

Seems to me, if the police had his picture to show the kid, with a suspicion he might be involved, he must have been a criminal before this incident.  So, he did time for something he didn't do, but maybe he would have committed other crimes.  Either way, it's a shame he lost all those years unfairly.

Crappy attitude.  "Gee, he's not guilty of this crime but damn it, I'm sure he's guilty of some other crime!"  Even the original prosecutor was horrified that he put an innocent man in jail.

Im a strong believer that everything happens for a reason. Maybe if he never went to prison he might have died or ended up killing someone. But one thing is for sure, hes a very strong man now


He can now live his life in peace.
If you havent been to prison and seen and heard what goes on in there. i dont want to hear "but maybe he would have committed other crimes." Step inside those walls for one day.

Gee, the way you put that you must be an angry man.  I an surprised you are convicting the man that way though.

I just pointed out the obvious without the hindrance of liberal tears clouding my vision.   The guy had a mug shot on file, he wasn't a saint.    And as I said, it is a shame he did time for a crime he didn't do.
