    wrongful convictions should cost the state 1 million per year . Pay the man $39 million for each year he was forced to spend in prison. Not only that, send the crooked prosecutors for 39 years in prison.

    Uh, this man was jailed based off of a lie a 12 year old boy told. Fact of the matter is, convictions for murder are almost always viewed by a jury. How can you punish the government/state for the fault of 12 random ass people? lol

I believe death sentences should be for the ones who we know without a doubt committed horrible murders. But my stance on the death penalty is changing slowly. If not a death sentence, then life with reoccurring forensic investigations every year to try and prove innocence, even for the truly convicted killers to be fair.

    ​@Midnightrambler3760 Well, because he is a black man and the white judges knew that 39years before, So today i am not bothered about the man who did 36years, but I am more concerned about the hands that makes the decision, of course i have to be cautious about skin colour too, though i am not a racist.

    Midnightrambler3760 come on let’s be real. Statistically he would most likely not be prosecuted for 39 years over a black 12 year old.

    it seem a bit ridiculous that a murder case would hinge on the testimony of a 12 year old.
