Give it A Minute I think the only issue with that is that you'd have to let the prisons decide what is irrefutable. For example, fingerprint testing is one of the most reliable methods of finding a murderer (aside from video), and yet it failed to clear this man's name, instead incriminating him. When you let individuals with subjective opinions make objective choices, bias is inevitable.

@@pondababa4197 I don't know, I think we should take all of the evidence we have against him in the context of where it comes from. The fact the police tried to arrest 3 black men for the crimes of 2 white men and a black man, and they found enough evidence to convict all three, suggests to me that this evidence may be a little bit conjured up. The testimonies convicting Rowe were so shaky. For starters, Williamson, the lady saying he was involved, placed him in the hostel with her at the time the murder was committed, so that's inconsistent. Three of the other witnesses had admitted to stealing some of the items, handling and hiding others, possessing a handgun, disposing of the stolen car and fitted the physical discription of the assailants. I think a lot of this evidence needs to be taken with a grain of salt.

Being well spoken about it is good. When I was in criminology we had a guest speaker that was wrongfully convicted of killing his mother come and speak to us. It is chilling how these people have to relive their experiences over and over to get paid, but also good that they do. It hopefully makes the world a more just place.

love Raphael Rowe - he's a brilliant documentarian in Worlds Toughest Prisons. Massive respect for him

What an incredible story, I'm so sorry that you have gone though this and it's so sad that human error can make such an impact. It's such a bitter pill to swallow but just know that you have support. Hopefully in due time new advancements in how evidence and systems in which facts are presented are changed for the better. All the best if you read this.

Finally get to hear Raph's story after watching all his episodes of World's Toughest Prisons.

Raphael, stay strong brother. The truth has set you free. I'm sorry you were locked up for over a decade. I wish you the best in the decades to come. Live free.

I love this guy on “The World’s Toughest Prisons” and I love that he became an amazing journalist despite everything that happened to him. When shit happens to you (and I speak from experience), you have to make a decision to not let the shit that almost destroyed you in the past to keep destroying your future or you let it win. You let it take up residence in your mind and eat away at your potential, your happiness and your peace. Don’t let it continue. Take back ownership from the abuse, the mistreatment, the sins of others and leave it where it happened. In the past.

#respect to you sir. I am still moved every time when hearing your story. As well as your documentary you did in South Africa. Peace be with you

Love him, such a calm guy for what has happened to him. He has a great Show on Netflix about prisons around the world!

What a man, amazing. I am allready a big fan of your documentary of the worlds hardest prisons so i knew some back ground information but this... i say it again what a man, true inspiration.

What an amazing man you are. So dignified through such injustice. You have grown in wisdom way beyond your years. I wish you peace and serenity and the shedding of all anger. Karma is a certainty for those who did this to you ❤️

I strongly believe in the death penalty! And a certain way it should be implemented as the ultimate end payment for your sins. Not every killing deserves it and situations differ, But if you have callously taken a life or lives and proven beyond all reasonable doubt, It's your time.

Underrated comment

I have also been wrongfully convicted and waiting to be sentenced - one day I’m at work the next day remanded straight to scrubs and my trial was beyond reality when all the jury said I was guilty for a crime I never committed 2 days before my birthday, my children have all been taken as I’m guilty for delaying taking my baby to hospital even the paediatrician said in her own opinion she could not say if that’s the truth as baby’s can show no symptoms at times. The jury did not even look at my evidence and all the officers on the case lied on the stand under oath. My life has been ripped to pieces. If I am guilty I will accept the consequences. Everyday for the last year has been nothing but PAIN. I have no trust in this system at all

This is one man's story we got to hear. To think there are many more who we will never know about, with their last breath in their cell, carrying with it nothing but the crime of innocence.

He’s the definition of never give in never surrender.

This made my blood boils, every single individual that had anything to do with the conviction of this man should be put inside a cell or given a proper punishment.

What do you mean? He literally had all the stolen items on him. His girlfriend handed them in to police. He left bloody footprints that matched. He had changed his clothes. He used the same bag described by the victims which had clothes and stolen items inside. The car was outside his hostel. His only defence was that someone else in the hostel may have committed the crime and framed him..? That’s it. That’s the only defence he had. No explanation for anything else. How did his girlfriend get the rings? She stated he gave them to her. Why did he leave the house at the exact time of the murder? Why did he change his clothes? Why did he have the same bag and footprints? Guess it’s all coincidence lmfao. Y’all delusional. The conviction was overturned due to a police error with a separate convict. ALL convicts relating to this case had to be released because of this. NOT lack of evidence. They all still firmly believe he did it but the error means they lawfully can’t convict him. He got so fucking lucky.

such an inspiring man. he had all the reason in the world to hold grudges and be angry at those who put him away for 12 years. yet he still came out strong and without that anger in his heart. incredible

I watched your series on netflix and really loved it, thanks for the content! I'm glad you're free!

It is estimated that any statement beginning with “it is estimated” is probably bullshit with little to no evidence actually backing the random “estimation”.

Finally I get to know the story behind this man.. I’ve watched almost every single episode of his documentaries Inside The Worlds Toughest Prisons but never know the story behind the man. His intro just intrigued me.. but it repeats on every single episode lols

I'm straight up addicted to "Inside The World's Toughest Prisons". Not just because of the content and show itself, but because of Raphael as well. He not has the experience of being stuck behind bars, but asks legitimate questions, gets involved with the activities and punishments, experiences life for himself etc etc. I hope they keep asking this guy to present more shows.

Love his show on Netflix. You all gotta watch that episode from the latest season set in Africa. Crazy. Then flip the vibe and watch the prison in Norway (where it's like a hotel).

Imagine the relief of his family having him in their arms. Imagine the pleading he did saying he was innocent and then having the proof of innocence 12 years later

The senior officer/s should definitely be jailed for life

I've recently been watching his prison documentary on Netflix and I just keep thinking for such a softly spoken man he's eyes and face just tell a different story you can see a real toughness in him, there's just something the way he carries himself, honestly don't know how he has turned his life round so well I'd have lost the plot for.

This is gonna be controversial... but maybe because the video leans very hard on the fact that he’s innocent? His innocence has never been proven. Anyone who actually looks into the M25 Three and actually reads all the evidence and facts available to the public will realise that Rowe is still a strong suspect. There is physical evidence that links him to the case, witness anecdotes linking him, he disappeared the night of the murders and came back wearing a pair of shoes that matched the imprint at the time, he had commited similar burglary crimes in the past, etc. Obviously there is also lots of evidence to defend Rowe, but the fact is that the M25 Three case is still open to this day, and Rowe is a suspect, even to detectives to this day. Obviously he is a mature, intelligent man today, and he’s a benefit to society, but the judge said in 2000, “this does not rule Rowe as innocent, far from it.” There are two sides to every story. I know it’s hard to think about after watching this video, but objectively Rowe still may have committed these crimes. The truth is that we don’t know, (and therefore he should be free), but the point is that there is still strong evidence against Rowe (again, look it up) and the video doesn’t really show the other side of the story. I mean, it’s an interview with him so you can’t really expect it to, but maybe that’s why some people dislike it.

Great to hear the full story - loved the toughest prison show on Netflix

Probably one of the top ten best shows I’ve ever seen, well done Raphael for adapting and getting on with life after such a horrible, traumatic nightmare and well done Netflix for airing something decent and interesting also for giving this man a second shot at life.. sadly all the money he’ll make and good he will do will never get him those 12 years back.. 21 years old and just like that his full young adult life and then some.... gone..

Someone please get Netflix to release more than 4 episodes of his show every season. Thank You! 🤗

I never fully heard his story but I seen his show on Netflix. He goes to different prisons in 3rd world countries and he stays in the prison for a predetermined length of time, its a good show. He lives just like the prisoners do.

The story, the presentation, the wisdom. Great video all around, amazing series!

My heart goes out to people like this it must be so hard to tell everyone you didn’t do something and no one listens and then on top of that the very people that are sworn to protect you and that you’re supposed to feel safe around are trying to have you sent to jail it must make you feel so helpless

Absolutely love Raphael Rowe, first heard of him on the Happy Hour podcast and his story is absolutely mental
