Now it's up to a jury to decide what they see is true or not. Its entire mess but I cant help but to remain hopeful. In the meantime, there still needs to be some change taken place in the justice system It's really sad that they want the change to happen from injustice of individualis (African Americans) who are being accused. It starts within the system. That's a lot of time that the justice system takes away from innocent people only to compensate them with money... they compensate them with money and the same time, theres no reprimand for the injustice committed

Everyone involved in the case who knowingly lied to imprison an innocent man, should have been fired and prosecuted. I'd also add that every case they ever worked on should be reviewed

Just finished watching the movie on Netflix. Cried my eyes out!!! I cannot comprehend the suffering of innocent black men who are wrongly accused, even to this day! There might be many whose lives are ruined forever. Martin Luther King said, “Injustice anywhere is a threat to justice everywhere." *sigh...

Oh my goodness. How can these people sleep at night lying and convicting the wrong man ?

Reading the book and then watching this is so surreal. I’ve read all about this and read all about these people, but seeing what they actually look like, sound like and act like, just makes the story all the more painful. It’s horrifying how this is real, and the overlap that comes from when you read the book and see the words “60 minutes interview” and then watch it, it really does just settle in that every single part of this was real, every word spoken, every injustice and every bit of pain, were something that actually did happen. It was disturbing to read, but it’s almost unreal to watch.

@@IslandLace it has a lot to do with it us as black people we have similar realities and identities so we can relate to each other in a way that will bring about a different type of compassion than someone who don't relate. So to see a black man do that to another is disheartening as a black person. Just like if you would see a sibling harm another sibling in a dishonorable way it would then bring about the question how can you do that to someone who is related to you? Same difference catch up to speed. Overstand me?

He basically admitted it they pressured him to lie it’s so obvious

It’s so unfair and disgusting. What scares me is the fact that law officials were the ones who pressured these poor people into making false accusations. I hope we find out who it was someday. What are their motives for this , are they personal or did they select a random scape goat?! Makes you wonder what else they have done or will do. Makes it hard to have trust in the system. Smh 🤦‍♀️ 😢
