@Rosalee Smith Not always the other guy talked about in the video was on his 11th year and counting but he was freed on year 11. But Child rapist seem to get the fewest years for some stupid reason. It all depends on the Judge I believe. Some judges can give you more and some can give you less seems to be the trend. I don't think they're a consistent number for how long you can go to person for x crime. All I know is that crimes with a lot of publicity get more years too just cause everyone is watching. Like Harvey Weinstein. I'm pretty sure there are people just as bad as him not serving the same sentences.
They said the charge was aggravated assault which usually means they used a gun or knife and or the victim was injured too. More than just stealing a purse.
He was charged with aggravated assult and used a weapon to rob the woman, plus the " innocent guy" probably had other legitimate prior convictions.. That's why 17yrs.
@@taiwoamodeni6561 literally all you can say to a comment like that. he probably had other charges? because that’s something you should just assume to justify this situation, right?

Aggravated robbery means the robber was armed with a deadly weapon, had an accomplice, or actually inflicted serious bodily harm on the victim. Some states, like Illinois, include the threat of bodily harm in the definition of aggravated robbery.
@@lisatinbliki5691 He did not even steal the purse. If it was aggravated to that degree you would think he would have managed to get the purse? In most European countries 17 years is what you get for murder.
Aggravated assault is when they have a weapon (gun and/or knife usually) at the scene present and often in these cases the victim was injured, it wasn't "just" stealing a purse.
Never mind the PTSD you experience from being locked up probably witnessed several stabbings and beatings and god forbid he ever went to the hole and was starved.
he has lost 17 years of his life, deaths of loved ones, marriages, births, all the moments of human life which were special. he spent 17 years behind bars probably getting molested by some next guy. NO amount of money can give him that time back.

It really wasn't a "line up". They reviewed pictures the policy conveniently place so the person they want to be identified is identified. You need to physically walk people in so the victim can see the height and build of the person. The person may look identical to the perpetrator but the height and/or build may be off.

Spending 17 years confined to a cell with no space for ten million dollars its good and your also stating that hr probably wouldnt have made that amount in his entired life.I mean, being in the streets with your freedom, he had a better chance of making 100 million dollars as opposed to 10 millions dollars then he does or did in prison confined to a very small space, and last but not least-freedom doesnt have a fucking price.You will realize that once you are in there, but people who havent been through shit in life couldnt possibly even begin to comprehend or understand the concept of what it is like to be free and without any problems, and therefor are likely to take their stipulation for granted as opposed to being appreciative.
I literally got $6000 worth of my stuff and some of my most sentimentally valuable possessions stolen from a storage room. Those men were never caught but if they were I would never wish that much time on them for stealing from me. A purse is nothing
The man didn't steal anything he was wrongfully convicted but ur right even if he did steal a purse 17 years are you fucking kidding me some people that murdered somebody get less with plea deals which tells you how fucked the system is
Noori Nut Yes and he is deserving of minimum wage over a 17yr period plus pain and suffering. 17×$18,000=$300,000+ Now this is a tragedy but the state can alleviate this mans pain and turn a horrible thing into a blessing at the very least.The police officer that made that lineup should get 17years for coersing the witness into accusing this man. Edit: rumors on here saying that he had a prior robbery,this is a gamechanger.if its true.
His lawyer must've been pretty useless. Cut off the dreads, get a clean shave, wear a suit, and have an alibi. The judge would have thought he never did it.
17 damn years for “attempting” to steal a purse? The other day I heard someone get 3 years for molestation!!!!!!! What the hell is wrong with this picture?????????

Now that we have access to facial recognition and a global Internet source of photographs I say eye witness accounts ought to be used to look for similar faces. A tool for searching out the guilty party but not turning innocent people into criminals.
yeah that's what breaks my heart. Most parents hurt over how fast the years of their children being little have flown by and feel like they "miss out" on so much, through work, worries etc. this guy literally missed it all! How deeply deeply sad!
His saying he's looking forward to a second chance and "doing it right this time" at the end made me even sadder. He never did it WRONG in the first place; he served 17 years for NOT stealing a purse.
Yeah seriously, what an amazing guy. Such a tragedy. But maybe he is inferring he was starting to go down the wrong path before but now his life is forever changed
How can anyone get sentence that much time for theft? The justice system is so broken. Not to mention if those mugshots were presented that way, it was pretty clear who she was suppose to choose. Sickening
Aggravated robbery in Kansas carries a maximum sentence of 20 years. In states like Texas you can get a life sentence. There is a difference between robbery and aggravated robbery.

Kinda scary to think that there's someone out there that looks just like you and can be doing whatever they want with their life and putting it on you.
It's deeper than bad police work. White people either don't care about the facts or are very ignorant to them. 99% of the time when it's poor police work it's when the suspect is black/latino but the disproportionate jail time given to blacks over whites for the same crime is all about race and not lazy police work. OPEN YOUR DAMN EYES.
White people can come up with 100 different ways to explain why so many black men, women and yes children get screwed over by the legal system in America and the color of their skin would never be one of the problems in their eyes.
He was put in a set of pictures with all very dark skinned men. It is amazing how in some cases people can be convicted with no real evidence. While others get to walk free with tons of incriminating evidence.
I normally despise the whole "they all look alike" excuse, and honestly I'd feel the same here, except my mouth dropped with surprise when I saw the resemblance. Holy hell, I'd probably want a DNA test to see if there's ANY relationship if I met someone who looked THIS similar to me. Guy has a great attitude and heart though.
The second case shows one of the reasons why the death penalty shouldn't be applied. What if you kill an innocent man later to find out it was a look-alike?

Most rake cases dont even go to trail. Most rapist dont even get convicted. The few that do dont get much time. But in this case the man raped the women as well .

Seth N quote: "they would appeal it and blame it on the prosecution". so they just push the blame? seems fair to waste the time( 17years) of someone innocent

in North Carolina, the state will pay $10,000 for each year of wrongful imprisonment up to $150,000. So he would get the flat amount of $150k. He wouldn't be paid for the extra 2 years because there's a 15 year limit rule lol
Sylar Sufi true. But as you stated the money comes from the State, meaning the tax payers foot the bill! IMO its the tax payers responsibility to ensure all of its citizens are considered Innocent until PROVEN guilty! If state by state, tax payers got together to pass a law stating that sentencing or conviction of an innocent person is equivalent to murder without the statute of limitations; I believe these judges would Hopefully work a little more diligently to force these lawyers to prove their cases beyond a "Reasonable" doubt of innocence based on SOLID evidence
Yeah it just really isn't right to imprison someone without any concrete evidence convicting them. However the mistake is understandable. It's just a very unfortunate misunderstanding.

Spending 17 years confined to a cell with no space for ten million dollars its good and your also stating that hr probably wouldnt have made that amount in his entired life.I mean, being in the streets with your freedom, he had a better chance of making 100 million dollars as opposed to 10 millions dollars then he does or did in prison confined to a very small space, and last but not least-freedom doesnt have a fucking price.You will realize that once you are in there, but people who havent been through shit in life couldnt possibly even begin to comprehend or understand the concept of what it is like to be free and without any problems, and therefor are likely to take their stipulation for granted as opposed to being appreciative.
1 million is a slap in the face. He needs a million for each year!!

17 years! I was waiting on them to say who was murdered but soon realized that was it…purse snatching 😕
I literally got $6000 worth of my stuff and some of my most sentimentally valuable possessions stolen from a storage room. Those men were never caught but if they were I would never wish that much time on them for stealing from me. A purse is nothing
Not all the money in the world would give him back the years he had lost.

Shouldn't even be years depending on criminal history. Amerikkka is fucked though
The man didn't steal anything he was wrongfully convicted but ur right even if he did steal a purse 17 years are you fucking kidding me some people that murdered somebody get less with plea deals which tells
you how fucked the system is
Thing is he stole Nothing...More like they stole his life..Truly Sucks! :((
17 years for a purse... for fucks sake couldn't you just forced him to community service.

Bad police work. No one to blame but a terrible case and laziness to find the truth.

The cops didn’t have anything to do with this dumbass this is the legal system
Right
It's deeper than bad police work. White people either don't care about the facts or are very ignorant to them. 99% of the time when it's poor police work it's when the suspect is black/latino but the disproportionate jail time given to blacks over whites for the same crime is all about race and not lazy police work. OPEN YOUR DAMN EYES.
White people can come up with 100 different ways to explain why so many black men, women and yes children get screwed over by the legal system in America and the color of their skin would never be one of the problems in their eyes.
He was put in a set of pictures with all very dark skinned men. It is amazing how in some cases people can be convicted with no real evidence. While others get to walk free with tons of incriminating evidence.
Like I said before, the old: "They all look alike". We come in all shades and colors but the only see "black". Sad truth.
The pics are blacked out
I normally despise the whole "they all look alike" excuse, and honestly I'd feel the same here, except my mouth dropped with surprise when I saw the resemblance. Holy hell, I'd probably want a DNA test to see if there's ANY relationship if I met someone who looked THIS similar to me. Guy has a great attitude and heart though.

Luna Gonzalez I do agree that he should be compensated for all the years he spent in prison making $0.02 an hour or whatever they pay the prisoners to work for commissary. I'm sure his family did the best they could to provide for him while he was on the inside but it does not make up for what he could have done with his life. bless his heart and yes I agree he should be compensated for the years he spent Behind Bars for a crime he did not commit.
17 years for stealing a purse. Rapists don't even get that many years. 😭

Most rake cases dont even go to trail. Most rapist dont even get convicted. The few that do dont get much time. But in this case the man raped the women as well .
King Javonique The man who stole the purse and got 17 years didn't rape anyone, they're speaking about two different cases
Lia Scott he's comparing time in jail to other crimes which is actually true what he said.alot of rapist or people who killed a man don't get much time in prision but when a specific race commits the same crime it's and overboard amount of time they have to do,such as he said " whites" wouldn't even come close to 17 years in prison for stealing a purse or robbing a bank.

in North Carolina, the state will pay $10,000 for each year of wrongful imprisonment up to $150,000. So he would get the flat amount of $150k. He wouldn't be paid for the extra 2 years because there's a 15 year limit rule lol
Sylar Sufi true. But as you stated the money comes from the State, meaning the tax payers foot the bill! IMO its the tax payers responsibility to ensure all of its citizens are considered Innocent until PROVEN guilty! If state by state, tax payers got together to pass a law stating that sentencing or conviction of an innocent person is equivalent to murder without the statute of limitations; I believe these judges would Hopefully work a little more diligently to force these lawyers to prove their cases beyond a "Reasonable" doubt of innocence based on SOLID evidence
Yeah it just really isn't right to imprison someone without any concrete evidence convicting them. However the mistake is understandable. It's just a very unfortunate misunderstanding.
