Saving An Innocent Man from Death Row | Real Stories True Crime Documentary
Фильм және анимация
In 2014, filmmaker Jessica Villerius met death row inmate, Clinton Young, who had been convicted of a double homicide and became convinced of his innocence. Her documentary ‘Innocent on Death Row’ exposed the weakness of the whole case, proving the shootings could not possibly have taken place the way the prosecutor alleged. These and other new facts, including serious misconduct by the prosecution, led to Young’s execution being halted just 8 days before it was due to take place. He is granted a new trial and freed on given bail to await his new trial.
Clinton was 19 when he was imprisoned. He is now 38. After almost 20 years of solitary confinement, how do you adapt to life outside? In addition, the strict conditions of his bail prevent him from living in the same state as his family and even going to the supermarket across the road from his house. He’s terrified of making the slightest mistake and being sent back to prison. He’s free but not free.

After the misconduct if the judge and prosecutors, his case should be dismissed with prejudice and the judge and prosecutors should be disbarred. They knew what they were doing.

How is it that two journalists were the ones to get him out and not his lawyers? That is crazy. That you need people to fight for you even if you are innocent.
Really moving story.
Wow I am amazed at not only the blatant failure negligence and cruelty of the state but in contrast the steadfast determination of Clinton , his family and most importantly Jess. She really made it happen. And getting him the apartment just showed their commitment to his success. Amazing to see
I seen this last year this update is amazing
He was arrested again and bailed for a second time after this video was filmed. Is there any current update on him?
Just imagine how many innocent people would have given anything for someone to listen to them, even if they had to wear a bracelet but never got or will get that chance. I do understand him though about how stressful that would be to be watched so closely and to fear getting re-arrested at any time and not even suspect it. It has happened to me, although I have never been in a situation as harsh as Clinton's. I wish I could find out what happened to that Page freak because those are the people that need to get convicted
This truly an amazing story. I wish him continued success
The world is a very bad place.
Thanks God to putting this angel’s in his life.!!! 🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻

Dude is a creepy looking liar.
He seems to be a bit ungrateful... Yet I have to remind myself he was jailed at 18, and lacks the social skills that real life provide. I'm sure that between wanting to appear "hard" in case he does go back, and being locked into a young mindset, it's difficult to express. His childlike smile says more than words... I'm thankful there's people like them that go above and beyond to help when it seems a horrible injustice has occurred. Thank you all.

A friend of mine, her Dad was in 44 years for a crime he never done. 44 years it took, to find out it was not his DNA. Ronnie Long is his name. Not sure if you have an account on facebook, wishing you all the best and God's protection over you and your Family. God Bless. Thank you, for never giving up and helping others.

I remember watching a doc on this guy a few years back… wild story
When I’ve seen this I came to tears😂cause he was innocent and was framed and accused of a double murder 20 years in jail and staying strong he never thought the case was over turned that is one remarkable case one in a million that usually happens but the help from lawyers they never gave up on him and believed he was innocent they did everything they could sleepless nights but had a victory got the judge to get a bail so he can be released so happy for 20 years in jail especially on death row knowing u will die eventually the execution date was set but he had faith in god and the lawyers that helped him congratulations CLINTON ❤❤❤❤So happy to see u out always think positive be strong
God knows the Truth 🙏🏽
Wow. How amazing
Hi from the UK. First. I watched the first documentary on Clinton’s wrongful conviction & saddened he was on death row for a crime he didn’t commit. I said then I hope some good would come of his injustice....I’m so pleased at last that the new evidence has been acted upon. Second. A big thank you to Jessica & her team for their determination to put a terrible wrong . RIGHT! If we had more people like Jessica the world would no doubt be a better place.
Wait a moment...Is he FREEE??
Well done team you've done a fantastic job for an innocent man Clinton you talk straight make sense look after yourself buddy good luck
I love these women from the innocence project. They dedicated a big portion of their lives to help this man get his freedom. Even picking him up when he was released. I can see for sure the friendship and love they have for him. Such beautiful women to be there for this man. I’m so amazed by them. A complete stranger to help him the way they did just blows me away. I wish I could meet these beautiful women. They have touched my heart. Even more amazing to me is their not even from this country. This story really touches me deeply. These women were a huge part in saving Clinton’s life. Many blessings to you ladies. You have my heart. Thank you for this wonderful story. Touched my heart deeply. ❤❤❤
Many blessings old friend
WoW What a case his case should be thrown out & he should be completely compensated for all the time!! Plus I Pray 🙏 for him to get justice. But the families of the families that Lost Their Loved Ones Should Get Justice & Have The Real Killer Should Never Be Let Out!! I Pray 🙏 he doesn't have to wait long for a trial or is completely Exonerated!
someone PLEASE hook him up with a social worker who checks in at least twice a week and helps to transition him away from being institutionalized. the situation is great but precarious. in best case, he is granted to visit the social worker/psychologist away from his apartment in an office. he should be going to see a social worker the entire time he has to wear the ankle bracelet.

I wish all the best for these freedom fighters and Clinton Young
Now he’s out, we can see his prison sun-tan ☀️
Personal opinion: that he was in youth prison his demeanor is harder it doesn't fit his treats to have killed them both. Being as he was so young in the correction system he was likely taught the ropes in a professional street manner. He has the time under his belt in general population to have picked up as nessicary the more skilled and harder offenders: servial of the fittest; as for primal instinct when you pick off the dominant you have less chance of survival. Those types of killing are rookie/ hard up in life types.. possiblly narsasitic trates. a legitimate profile to have done so. (You maybe able to ask for a profile on both the co-defendants) I do believe his co-defendant murdered the second man after the 1st.. possibly trying to empress or build his reputation/ become stronger. He didn't account/ know the side effects and without a mentor he wasn't able to control himself and dug himself deeper and got himself caught. Being said with Clinton having g already served time it was "believable" for him to have done it. The DA putting an already known convect on death row implies alot for the service.. gapping whole to allow the death penalty to be implemented. And with every one else grouped together with the story it was a garented conviction. As I see it there is no plausible reason to have killed the man for his car for Clinton. Not his type of criminal. Poor guy just wanted to smoke a blunt.
The law of parties can still send him back to prison
I salute this documentary crew because they came from Holland to help an individual who deserved HELP.

May God’s mercy be bestowed upon him it’s so sad some people are innocent some are guilty.Its not easy but thank at least he is home
Good story. Let's not forget even though he got railroaded by a corrupt system, he was far from innocent. He helped put the body in the trunk and proceeded to travel with the guy which resulted in another killing.
Good people make all the difference in the world!!!!!!!!
I do not think we have the right to death penalty unless there is solid and I mean solid proof. I am glad that there is fairh
So who killed those two innocent guy because all four teenagers claiming they are innocent
It seems like all these young beautiful Dutch ladies have a bit of an infatuation with Clint. Wonder if the feelings are mutual
God bless him🙏
So I looked em up n it says he was arrested by a different county n is sitting with a 5 million dollar bail. It talked about him being released n he started working in Mississippi at an approved job n that’s when he was arrested for a different murder around the same time the murder he was in this county for happened. Maybe I read it wrong. That’d be messed up if I read it correctly.
Im so glad he is out of prison but having an ankel monitor is probably just as bad as being in prison. You have freedom but then you dont. Either way its like hes still in prison. Im just seeing Clintons case and he seems like such a great person, very respectful and eager to stay free.
