  1. Golly Gee Willickers! Why no photos of the actual rapists and murderers? Amos Robinson and Abron Scott .

  2. that 14 million will be 5 million after tax, legal, admin fees, government and police processing fees. also we are paying for it, not politicians, government or police. we lose a chunk of our money, while this man (righteous), the government and police gets a chunk (not righteous). we, the people are the real losers once again

  3. I wish they had mentioned the Innocence Project. They've been successful in many similar cases. Good organization to donate to.

  4. So OUR tax money makes this guy a millionaire? ALL THE PEOPLE INVOLVED IN HIS SENTENCING SHOULD BE RESPONSIBLE FOR FOOTING THE BILL NOT US!!!!

  5. that's 41 years…thats a bucket of time right there……poor guy…

  6. He won't get 14 million. He'll get about half after his lawyer takes his cut.

  7. they did this to me i had been arrested for weed and in florida they have green hands law if you got are arrested you cant sue the state so any felons can be charged and you cant sue the state

  8. Shawshank redemption case😮😮😮

  9. Those people that talk about justice for the family are lying. The system doesn't care about anyone more less families.

  10. Lots of bad convictions in Florida.

  11. It's FLOOR RUH DUH for christ's sake ! Floridians are to busy voting in total corruption to worry about a little WRONG ! 😉 a…. little , huh inmates? 🤔🤔🤨😡🤬

  12. This case is further proof that we do Not live in a patriarchy!

  13. And of course, no word of any consequences for the cops & prosecutors who put an innocent man in prison for 37 years…

  14. Further proof that we do Not live in a patriarchy.

  15. American justice system is trash took Soo long to get a innocent man free… Lame asf

  16. Its a tough system when a Jury of Your Peers is Beavis and Butthead, you know, the general population.

  17. This is why i don't support capital punishment.

  18. Wait. I thought only black men were the ones getting railroaded!

  19. Most of their technology is crap! Gun shot residue, bite marks, bullet marks, etc. are all junk science!

  20. The guy in the thumbnail definitely looks like someone who would be wrongfully convicted of murder! 🤡

  21. It's incredibly heartening to hear stories of justice prevailing, especially in cases of wrongful conviction. The journey towards correcting such a monumental error must have been incredibly challenging, but it also serves as a reminder of the strength and resilience of the human spirit. It's a significant step towards healing and restoring what was lost. It's so important to keep talking about these issues to ensure a fair and just system for all.
