I recall him giving one of his many "beware my coworkers" speeches and telling me and my brother that a lot of guys were in prison for a thing they did NOT do -- to which my brother quipped: "Yeah, they didn't run fast enough." My father said no; a lot of these guys get railroaded. They get f*cked over. Some are in the wrong place at the wrong time, but nobody cares. A cop might know a guy from an interaction or two on the street; the cop doesn't like the guy, thinks the guy's life has no value; so the guy ends up with a prison sentence. Or maybe a cop just doesn't like another guy's face. Since then, the idea of being that wrongly convicted guy has been a fear of mine. I wish I could say it was irrational.

It was incredible watching them stand there at my appellant hearing and admit they planted evidence "accidentally". Unfortunately, even though the conviction and sentence was overturned, because of the "titling", the charge stays on my record forever.

Really easy not to kill someone though. Have you ever been convicted of murder? No? Probably cause you don’t kill people. Charges and convictions are opposite worlds and you should educate yourself on how hard convictions are even on known criminals with rap sheets.

The system is completely corrupt, I was accused and indicted for a crime I did not commit and that’s when I realized that it’s actually guilty until proven innocent and definitely not the other way around. I cannot believe that a person can get arrested and has to battle through a bunch of adversity simply because of hearsay.

Prosecutors care more about conviction rates than justice, that's a fact. Prosecutors who can be proven to push for a wrongful conviction should be charged with at least perjury, if not more. Then again if you are in power, perjury hasn't meant much since the 90s, even though that's why the law exists, to prevent corruption.

100% correct.

It’s all about “wins” and percentages. It has nothing to do with “justice.” I was never aware of how our justice system worked until I was older, more educated and mature and had some dealings with The Innocent’s Project. In the grand scheme of things you are guilty until proven innocent. If you’re a defendant and have plenty of money, you have a fighting chance. All expert witnesses are paid vast sums of money to say anything. The “expert witnesses,” are all option based having to do with money. Our justice system is a mess…

Every year I get older I start hating this country more. Ive got a positive drug test now in a government database because I applied for a CDL position. I popped positive for codeine in my system because I ate 3 almond poppy muffins the day before and 1 on the day of my drug test. (I HAD NO IDEA THIS WAS A THING) I don't even drink alcohol and have NEVER drank alcohol, much less abused pills or drugs. Now I have a permanent mark on a drug test in a government database that all future employers can see when they hire me for a CDL position because the law specifically states that Poppy muffins is not a legitimate excuse for codeine or morphine traces in your system. This really changed me, I will never fly an American flag or be proud to live in this shit hole.

But it happens so commonly. I think most people don't really understand how much.

It's just so tragic when an ordinary person actually has to study law to prove his own innocence and basically do the job the justice system should be doing. Edit: For the smart-asses out there, with ordinary person I did not mean he was a 100% innocent man who never commited any crime, I meant he didn't have a law degree. But even that is irrelevant, since having commited robbery gives authorities no right to wrongfully convict you for murder.

The one lawyer I ever had also told me “just say blah blah blah” when I was innocent and I’m like nah that’s just telling them what they wanna hear and I refuse to do so the truth is the truth and she insisted and insisted and insisted til I made her give in and I didn’t have to say one word when I went back to court and let her say everything I told her and I was let go with no charges. Long story short I was in an accident with some friends and they tried getting us for dui and under age possession and idk what else this was 4 years ago but apparently they “found beer in the ditch” somewhere near by and they tried hitting us with that to make it worse for whatever reason but yeah we were all good. We also passed all the sobriety tests on scene which makes them even more of a douche bag for doing us like that. We were completely fine and those cops knew that. Some cops just got nothing better to do sometimes.

Nobody has ever been wrongly convicted, nobody. You might be charged wrongly but you will never be convicted wrongly. Learn the differences even known criminals avoid convictions sometimes and once you educate yourself on how hard it is to convict someone and what it actually takes then you’ll realize that if someone is convicted they did it for sure.

This is my worst fear and it's why I get so defensive when people make shit up or think something that just isn't true. This is the worst thing for your mental/mind in the world.

And then some weird turn of events happens where he’s framed for a robbery he was involved in turned murder…. I kinda don’t care what happens to that guy in general. Statistically speaking, he was headed in that direction anyway. Robbery with a deadly weapon can easily get you 20 years. So he basically did the time he would’ve should he have been caught for the crimes he wasn’t caught for. That’s round about justice. Those cops, however, deserve the absolute worst fate imaginable.

Which sounds like an immense sum of money but can hardly be seen that way when one considers he had to sell 23 years of his life, something he never gets back, for it. What’s sadder is that despite the detective in his case having 20 convictions overturned, and the city paying over $100M in settlements as a result, he has never faced punishment and never will. Even if they tried the statute of limitations on the cases protects him and instead he gets to live out his retirement punishment free with a pension from the state.
