Man I get impatient in the line at the grocery store, irritated being put on hold, and hate waiting to be seated at a restaurant. Talk about luxury problems. Mr. Strickland...may your life be one of peace and joy from here on out!
We all can learn from this man's horrible experience we all must learn to be a little more patience in this world not everything comes instantaneously for everyone all the time this poor man had to wait 43 years to be let out of prison for a crime he did not commit I think we can wait an extra 5 minutes here and there, every now and then.
Start prosecuting the people who kept him there, knowing he was clearly innocent. That would get the ball rolling. May this man's Soul be blessed forever.
Exactly This goes to show they Want us In prisons so they can make money off of us.They've been doing it for years With EDUCATION MUSIC AND Even the LAW
That’s true. Very true. But he deserves at minimum A pile of cash to live the rest of his days however he chooses. Profound statement though hitman. You’re dead on
@@DarhaLB yea it's really really disgusting. Had he been in the next state over he would have been eligible. He can't even sue them! There is a go fund me for him, use the verified one to donate too. At the end CNN said they were linking it in their Twitter
His anger would have passed decades ago, he had moved on to acceptance and probably gave up long ago this day would ever come, now he is shell shocked walking into a world that has changed so much. Heartbreaking and someone should pay for this.
I don't know how he isn't angry cuz I'd forever be pissed off. And would probably do something horrendous and drastic! I'd probably end up a hostage taker and be on conference call live on TV with all the news centers, and have a large list of demands to be met before it's too late, and 1000s including myself die in one huge explosion!
This breaks my heart. He's institutionalized as anyone would be in this position. He's afraid to admit that he's angry for fear of beig falsely accused of something again. Man, America makes me sick. God bless this man and I pray he gets to live the rest of his life however he pleases.
@@dkennylee I think most people are well aware it doesn’t, but this case was, in fact, something that happened in the U.S. due to the failings of the U.S. justice system.
@@dkennylee so because it happens outside the us that make it ok? Lmao I thought u trumptards wanted to make America great again lmao you’d make a great lawyer
Victor yes they do and hopefully he will live out his days in bliss. He seems so deserving and ready to open his eyes to the world his missed out on. That could have been anyone of us. I'm glad to see he is getting financial donations.
A non American like you cannot understand that this is called the land of the free. US goverment even has the right to ... execute citizens. Just study the US sometime. This is very common. Over half the worlds prison population is one singular country. Guess which?
What happened to him should NOT be even possible. The justice system is broken. Especially as they would NOT listen to his appeals. God bless you Kevin.
Every person in Missouri should give this innocent man one or two dollars. Every person. It's a damn shame these evil demons in the State of Missouri don't want to pay this man. He's disabled and have lost his mom and dad , family.
I had to think about that, but you are right. They voted in and supported the monsters that did this to him.....and are still not demanding those responsible be prosecuted.
@@allaboutperspective650 hence I asked. I live on a small island on the bottom of the world. It has been followed closely by so many here. Thank you. I commented during the video and saw the link on twitter and have done. Have a blessed day. Arohanui
Kevin deserves more than to see the ocean he deserves a million $ a year for the past 43 yrs and half should be due immediately! And it's nice to see Kevin looking well as a free man.
Would you give 43 years for 43 million dollars? Think about how every day imprisoned feels like 3 days. No amount of money will give him back 43 years. A million a day at the least.
You know what else besides the $Millions and millions he deserves ? Justice ! The man deserves justice to the full extent of his incarceration...the man deserves to witness the punishment of those who knowingly locked a innocent man in jail and those who deliberately kept a innocent man in prison. Then there is the extraordinary wrong done by those who INTENTIONALLY BECAME BELIGERANT AND TOOK EVERY MEASURE POSSIBLE TO REFUSE A DYING MOTHER THE HEARTFELT DESIRE TO TOUCH HER SON, AFTER 43 YEARS THEY REFUSED HER AND KEVIN ONE LAST TIME. That's wickedness on every level known to man what's been done to this man. What punishment, over the generations of evil intentions upon Kevin is right? Just what do such evil men deserve! Life for a life ?
exactly, his life and the life of any offspring he manages to have at this point (with luck) should be financed for 43 years by the state that financed his imprisonment.
Please. More respect. He is telling you how he feels. Then you rehash it.Hes been confined. It's raw. You are kind, but be mindful. Brilliantan. His response on anger, and the ten mile radius. May he sit quietly, assemble his thoughts. Get a recorder. Write a miniseries. And feel heard. Compensated. Kind lawyer.
When you get imprisoned at a young age, and you can not learn how to care for yourself, it is very hard to get a grip on life and live a normal life. I wish him the best. And I remember the first time I have seen the ocean as a kid, and I think this is something like a human right to make the experience once in your life.
Our God pray for to all are suffering in prisions that have their right and Justice to see some judgment that maybe to be unright and to have take their youth unjustly.Blessing😍🙏
And the woman who wrongfully identified him spent 30 years telling them she made a mistake but the system never listened to her a second time, that's how bad it is
@@lileithswaby6914 incredibly sad, very unjust, and should never happen again ever! Free all the innocent people, especially the people of color, wrongfully convicted ASAP. Rich competent lawyers need to step up their pro bono work ASAP.
OK so I have lived in Missouri since I was 18 and I live in the fairly blue corner that is KC. It is the southern Missouri MAGA bunch that keeps Missouri primitive. Originally came from Texas…it is similar in outlook but the blue centers have grown in Texas. I think Missouri will remain a racist, vengeful system because that is who runs the state.

@@JohnnyProctor9 I understand your anger. We live in a broken and sinful world where shit happens by the second.

I’m so glad that he is free. But as you see he’s institutionalized and scared they going to come back and get him smmfh. The stuff people of color had and still dealing with daily
I used to work with men on parole, and I remember one who had been imprisoned for about 7 years (and he was guilty), who told me he just couldn't cope any more with life outside and that he was going to have to commit a crime to get put back in. The psychological shock of being out in a world you have not adapted to is real and it is devastating.
@@xymonau2468 That’s absolutely sad. Did you work rehabilitating them? Or just at a job with them? I’d love to make a career out of helping inmates transition back into society. Our prison system in the country needs a major overhaul.
@@QUEENBEE200384 I worked with homeless men for about 25 years. In the city there is often nowhere to send someone fresh out of prison other than to a homeless shelter. (I'm in Australia.) Also, at one of the places I worked, the top floor was an actual prison where day release prisoners could live and work in the community, to prepare them for parole or the completion of their sentences. It was a real prison (I know the US has different definitions of "prison" and "jail", but it's all the same here. Just high security, low security, etc. Welfare staff had to try to help released prisoner and parolees to find suitable accommodation, and support for them. I was a welfare worker for a number of years, then a coordinator and manager, but there was always hands on work, and the most difficult cases were my responsibility. Although the man I mentioned above was a client relatively early in my career. I found it personally stressful to see that he meant what he said, and to see the pain he was in. He was not a good man, but I guess like lawyers, we worked with the people who accessed or services, and did our best for them, regardless. It was our job. I would assume in the US a welfare or social work qualification would be required to do this kind of work. Here, at least a two year diploma or Associate diploma would be the minimum, but your country or state may vary, depending on whether it was a government agency or NGO. Any work with people is good for the soul, even if it is thankless. You get a quiet satisfaction from it.
@Xymo Nau How do you avoid burnout? I was once a social worker that was great at what I did, but took work home with me, which caused great emotional turmoil for me, which is one of the many reasons I stopped practicing social work.

certain words like anger means black and murder and lynching; not a human emotion for Black people. We have to use a different word to express our Biblical meaning of the word anger. Anger is in the Bible for goodness sake. Satan look what you've done.. and some still follow Satan. If you ever believe in Christmas you better believe in Satan.
The word angry should not have been used and shows the disconnection some people have with our trauma of being Black. Yet it is good to see how damaged we as people of color are by white supremacists..
@@edmaphis9805 Don’t sway this topic with BS. Kyle crossed state lines and still killed people who were protesting for black people who are mistreated against police. Just because the law covered Kyle as well as a racist justice system, it doesn’t mean those laws are correct.

The innocence project is an amazing group. This poor man is institutionalized and it’s completely heartbreaking..43 years! Innocence isn’t a reason to leave prison?? Wtf? Wow! This man isn’t even going to be compensated by a state that did him so wrong??!!! How disgusting!!! I hope this man finds peace, happiness and gets to the ocean! 🙏🙏🙏
Different law applies to a man who is angry and black. His response was smart. Very smart. He said he is not angry. Because he doesn't want them to hold him responsible for anything that happens within 10mile radius of his location. This man is scarred for life. So so unfair.
He probably ran out of anger. He’s been locked up from 43 years for shit he didn’t do, so I could only imagine the rage he felt when he first got inside. But when all seems lost and everything seems to go bad for you, you can only be mad for so long before you just accept it.
@@i_SingMostParts i didn't like how patronizing she was thru this interview. She told him she thinks he has every right to be angry... Really? He does? YA THINK? NO SHIT. Thanks for stating the obvious blonde. She said she couldn't imagine being imprisoned 40 years and she said she "imagines" not many others can either... how about nearly every black American, how about every descendant of American slavery probably CAN imagine, as it's something all their ancestors have experienced. She can't imagine it, can't imagine anyone else could... well I'm guessing most black folks can imagine, they don't have to imagine, it's well known. Wrong interviewer
not a dime because his exoneration didnt come from dna evidence. and missouri has a cap on what he could receive and its paid out yearly, so it would take 43 years for him to get what the state owed him if he were allowed to claim it.
He is a cursed and doomed man for being as ignorant as he truely is. My first request would be ... get me to the nearest airport and get the F out of the US.
We hope so too . But is incredible that knowing they put it in jail been inocent , and make the poor guy los almost he's entire life the don't recompense him.thats why we all hope he sue the state and give him what he really deserves for their incompetence that the least they can do but God is good and he make them pay for that abuse.
My heart goes out to Mr. Strickland and ALL others wrongfully accused and convicted in this country no matter what race but the fact is the more often than not the race of those wrongfully convicted is black and Latino.
America need to revamp its judiciary system, you got to throw the jury system out, its still happening, its only a few days earlier Kyle Rittenhouse walked scott free. Its gross injustice you serve in the courts.
@@1976athletico Soooo you didn't watch the trial. ("shooting down protestors" implies that he just randomly started shooting people without cause..if that were the case he would be in jail) Take some time to go inform yourself about the facts of what happened that day then get back to me. I'll wait.
This is heartbreaking. I couldn’t hold my tears. Please They really need to pay him back. Just destroyed a man’s dreams for something he didn’t do. America why? Africa even looks up to you like you have the best system in the world but this makes me think differently about America. So sad.

@@peggystoutemorin4529 Thanks to Internet, we have all caught a glimpse of the Real America. I've seen the massive homeless figures, the absolute inhumanity, the corruption of the 1% wealthiest, the hideously unfair healthcare system, broken judicial system, broken and outdated infrastructure and the unfair employment laws. It's not a country I would recommend to anybody. Children are mown down by shooters and schools don't even teach cursive writing, world History or geography. It's sad.
well let me tell you. if you continue looking at injustice like this on youtube there are lots of innocent people sitting in jail in the united states. the justice system here is one of the worst ones. if you google to see who has the worst justice system/worst jail system then you will see the usa is one of the worst. they treat the people terribly and do not care. its a shame. shame on the justice department of the usa.
I cant stop crying, he is only out of prison when all those important time of his life had passed, you dont even know how long more he can be in ths life. And he cant get any social security or sued the system or financial aid fr those errors, the system sucks!!
if i were this man, after visiting my mother's grave, i would head straight for an airport or seaport and gtf out of this country. what a terrible experience. this man owes america nothing.
This man...my goodness. He needs so much love and support. He's going to spend his life looking over his shoulder. I hope he can find the strength to walk through those feelings and find peace. 💕 Godspeed, Mr. Strickland.
The man is finally set free for a crime that he didn’t commit and now that he’s free he has to start all over from nothing. This is sad, bittersweet but ultimately sad.
Smart man. The ocean and catching waves are outstanding therapists. I'd love to see a clip of his face the first time he feels a wave lift him up and propel him forward. Nothing like it.
When I saw the heading first thing I said is “ He has to be a black man”. Why am I not surprised he was locked away for something he didn’t do, how is he prepared for this world after so many years? A damn Shame Amerikkka. Edited again. Justice for Ahmaud Aubrey. Guilty!
The bottom feeder who killed children and old ladies in a parade needs to spent that much time in prison, we know the left soft on crime may release him soon. We are tired of the left and all the stupid policies that promote. Hurry up midterm elections.
@@jefflibby6680 The "left" is soft on crime? Huh. Explain a teenager having his mommy drive across state lines and shooting people with a gun he couldn't even buy for himself, walking free and being upheld by the Riechwingers. That's funny.

Coming from Miami, I see the ocean every day going to work. Hearing how this man’s only wish is to see the ocean makes you realize how much we take our freedoms for granted. A complete and absolute injustice from our criminal system.
Wow.... this is absolutely heartbreaking. For YEARS we have been hearing about people being exonerated for crimes they are convicted of DECADES ago. How many more?
This is the travesty and the plight of so many African-American men. They are accused of crimes they didn’t commit in their lives just throwing away by putting them in prison. This is so unfair to this man… and yet he still is so humble and gentle. There’s no anger, no hatred, he just exudes love. And it brings me to tears ti think about what he went through and how his life was destroyed.
The inferiority of our justice system is astounding. In this country, "Justice" is only for those who can afford it and if you're the wrong color well, I hope you have power and wealth because the law is not equal no matter what people say.
Tremendous respect and admiration for The Innocence Project, in particular the people involved, doing the hard work righting injustices. Also very impressed with the integrity of the prosecutor who worked diligently to free Mr. Strickland. We need more prosecutors like her. Hope people donating to Kevin also consider donating to The Innocence Project.
That man was in prison for longer than i have even been alive. All that time ripped from him. Never got to say goodbye to his own mother. I hope he is able to move on,make good memories , and have all the wonderful experiences we all take for granted.
So sad that he is in constant paranoia of being taken back. I hope he becomes financially free from all the go-fund me donations. He deserves to retire in comfort.
I’d love to see RUclips videos of Kevin going to oceans all over the world. The man deserves some kindness after what that state has put him through. The ocean varies so much from area to area just here in California alone. I’d love to see him go up highway 1. Also beaches in Italy and Spain etc. I’d like to hear or read about his musings for the next few years too. Such a Travesty of justice.
After 43 years of life heartlessly stolen, he does not acquire a gun and seek out vigilante justice under the guise of some rationalized premise.. Instead he simple seeks the peace of the ocean. This is what a real hero looks like....
Again, what does "with liberty and justice for all" mean? My 6 year old just learned the Pledge of Allegiance and needs to understand why I won't swear it. She will see this after school today - most important lesson of the day.
You need to pledge to my flag, the great red, white and blue in my lands of the free. It always stands at the dawn's early light and never fails justice. Once you take the pledge of allegiance your heart and soul will understand why we serve it. Just need the balls to take that 1st step toward freedom. You need understanding first before you pledge.
I was sitting here today feeling sorry for myself,I reside in an assisted living facility,I haven’t been able to see my son due to covid restrictions,he works 90 hours a week and could only come for my bday Mother’s Day and Christmas,so the last time I saw him was in December of 2020,now I realize how incredibly blessed I am ,I m a disabled senior citizen living well below the poverty line,but I have a roof over my head all my meals are provided and I speak with my son nightly ,bless this man dear father in Heaven and let him enjoy the freedom he should have had years ago.
Your son loves you and speaks to you daily. I did the same for my mom. I was her caregiver and financial support. Your son is blessed to have you and you are blessed to have him. Be thankful for your gifts so many people have less. Covid will pass, but your son’s love for you will never stop embracing you even when he can’t do so in person.
How do the authorities even begin to beg forgiveness for taking the best years of a man's life from him!? Giving him the keys to the treasury, and saying "take what you want" would be a start.
Omg this is so tragic, he’s lost his mom and so much of his life. He needs to be highly compensated!! This man deserves to live is lovely as he possibly can. Im so happy for you to be free. Such a sad story. Sending tons of hugs and love to you and your family.
"I don't go with angry"👍🏾 He is a honorable being who went to hell & back. Imagine people complain about minor things and then you see him......gratitude is everything 💋❤💯

What happened to him IS horrific. But he's not "America's oldest slave." Leonard Peltier has been in prison for 47 years for supposedly killing an FBI agent, when another man has already confessed to that long ago. Leonard is a political prisoner. The "Justice Department" chose to make an example of him for his activism for Native American rights. The "system" isn't only stacked against blacks and Latinos, but also against all Native Americans. Especially those who show activism against an unjust system. At the time that Leonard was arrested, the FBI was cutting off the hands of any Native killed, and sending the hands to the FBI in Quantico for identification, deliberately mutilating bodies to humiliate and intimidate Native Americans. Leonard is almost 79, in extremely poor health, and still in prison for a crime he didn't commit.
@@NashobaLusaTaloa but the difference here is your man was a activist. He put himself in a position of political retribution..your man is a political prisoner.. not a man that never did anything to anyone...

This is heart breaking, and unimaginable. The physical, mental and emotional fallout from having been wrongfully imprisoned for over 4 decades cannot be overstated. This man is going to need every sort of support, not just financial (which is huge in and of itself) but psychological as well. He’ll need intensive therapy to develop good coping skills and most of all, emotional support from people who truly hold his well-being foremost. I pray to God that he will bless this man every way possible for the rest of his days.

Millions hopefully 🙂
Victor yes they do and hopefully he will live out his days in bliss. He seems so deserving and ready to open his eyes to the world his missed out on. That could have been anyone of us. I'm glad to see he is getting financial donations.
The rate was at 50000 a year.
Alright you start shelling out extra tax $
A non American like you cannot understand that this is called the land of the free. US goverment even has the right to ... execute citizens. Just study the US sometime. This is very common. Over half the worlds prison population is one singular country. Guess which?
What happened to him should NOT be even possible. The justice system is broken. Especially as they would NOT listen to his appeals. God bless you Kevin.
God? Wow. Where was he the last 43 years?
This is sad
Hes a black male...the system is rigged against us and its obvious
Every person in Missouri should give this innocent man one or two dollars. Every person. It's a damn shame these evil demons in the State of Missouri don't want to pay this man. He's disabled and have lost his mom and dad , family.
Internationally* alot of people here are willing to give. Has anyone made a verified place to donate to?
I had to think about that, but you are right. They voted in and supported the monsters that did this to him.....and are still not demanding those responsible be prosecuted.

Freedom is scary when you’ve been in prison for 43 years.
There is no freedom even on the outside. It's an illusion that we are free. Any man under any government on this planet will never be free.
Kevin deserves more than to see the ocean he deserves a million $ a year for the past 43 yrs and half should be due immediately! And it's nice to see Kevin looking well as a free man.
Would you give 43 years for 43 million dollars? Think about how every day imprisoned feels like 3 days. No amount of money will give him back 43 years. A million a day at the least.
You know what else besides the $Millions and millions he deserves ? Justice !
The man deserves justice to the full extent of his incarceration...the man deserves to witness the punishment of those who knowingly locked a innocent man in jail and those who deliberately kept a innocent man in prison. Then there is the extraordinary wrong done by those who INTENTIONALLY BECAME BELIGERANT AND TOOK EVERY MEASURE POSSIBLE TO REFUSE A DYING MOTHER THE HEARTFELT DESIRE TO TOUCH HER SON, AFTER 43 YEARS THEY REFUSED HER AND KEVIN ONE LAST TIME.
That's wickedness on every level known to man what's been done to this man.
What punishment, over the generations of evil intentions upon Kevin is right?
Just what do such evil men deserve!
Life for a life ?
@@annabellagardner3190 yes that is worth more than millions,justice by making those accountable who helped put an innocent man in jail for 43 years.
exactly, his life and the life of any offspring he manages to have at this point (with luck) should be financed for 43 years by the state that financed his imprisonment.

Please. More respect. He is telling you how he feels. Then you rehash it.Hes been confined. It's raw. You are kind, but be mindful. Brilliantan. His response on anger, and the ten mile radius. May he sit quietly, assemble his thoughts. Get a recorder. Write a miniseries. And feel heard. Compensated. Kind lawyer.
When you get imprisoned at a young age, and you can not learn how to care for yourself, it is very hard to get a grip on life and live a normal life. I wish him the best. And I remember the first time I have seen the ocean as a kid, and I think this is something like a human right to make the experience once in your life.

I used to work with men on parole, and I remember one who had been imprisoned for about 7 years (and he was guilty), who told me he just couldn't cope any more with life outside and that he was going to have to commit a crime to get put back in. The psychological shock of being out in a world you have not adapted to is real and it is devastating.
@@xymonau2468 That’s absolutely sad. Did you work rehabilitating them? Or just at a job with them? I’d love to make a career out of helping inmates transition back into society. Our prison system in the country needs a major overhaul.
@@QUEENBEE200384 I worked with homeless men for about 25 years. In the city there is often nowhere to send someone fresh out of prison other than to a homeless shelter. (I'm in Australia.) Also, at one of the places I worked, the top floor was an actual prison where day release prisoners could live and work in the community, to prepare them for parole or the completion of their sentences. It was a real prison (I know the US has different definitions of "prison" and "jail", but it's all the same here. Just high security, low security, etc. Welfare staff had to try to help released prisoner and parolees to find suitable accommodation, and support for them. I was a welfare worker for a number of years, then a coordinator and manager, but there was always hands on work, and the most difficult cases were my responsibility. Although the man I mentioned above was a client relatively early in my career. I found it personally stressful to see that he meant what he said, and to see the pain he was in. He was not a good man, but I guess like lawyers, we worked with the people who accessed or services, and did our best for them, regardless. It was our job. I would assume in the US a welfare or social work qualification would be required to do this kind of work. Here, at least a two year diploma or Associate diploma would be the minimum, but your country or state may vary, depending on whether it was a government agency or NGO. Any work with people is good for the soul, even if it is thankless. You get a quiet satisfaction from it.

certain words like anger means black and murder and lynching; not a human emotion for Black people. We have to use a different word to express our Biblical meaning of the word anger. Anger is in the Bible for goodness sake. Satan look what you've done.. and some still follow Satan. If you ever believe in Christmas you better believe in Satan.
The word angry should not have been used and shows the disconnection some people have with our trauma of being Black. Yet it is good to see how damaged we as people of color are by white supremacists..

Different law applies to a man who is angry and black. His response was smart. Very smart. He said he is not angry. Because he doesn't want them to hold him responsible for anything that happens within 10mile radius of his location.
This man is scarred for life. So so unfair.
He probably ran out of anger. He’s been locked up from 43 years for shit he didn’t do, so I could only imagine the rage he felt when he first got inside. But when all seems lost and everything seems to go bad for you, you can only be mad for so long before you just accept it.

What happened to him IS horrific. But he's not "America's oldest slave." Leonard Peltier has been in prison for 47 years for supposedly killing an FBI agent, when another man has already confessed to that long ago. Leonard is a political prisoner. The "Justice Department" chose to make an example of him for his activism for Native American rights. The "system" isn't only stacked against blacks and Latinos, but also against all Native Americans. Especially those who show activism against an unjust system. At the time that Leonard was arrested, the FBI was cutting off the hands of any Native killed, and sending the hands to the FBI in Quantico for identification, deliberately mutilating bodies to humiliate and intimidate Native Americans. Leonard is almost 79, in extremely poor health, and still in prison for a crime he didn't commit.

Wow, he said he won't display anger because if anything happens within a 10-mile radius of him, he doesn't want to be blamed. He has left the prison physically but is still there mentally. Look into his eyes. He is extremely afraid and does not understand what's happening around him.
Sadly no money can give this guy his time back.
It's appalling that he never got anything for losing decades of his life. The US Justice system.needs a major revamp.
This is heart breaking, and unimaginable. The physical, mental and emotional fallout from having been wrongfully imprisoned for over 4 decades cannot be overstated. This man is going to need every sort of support, not just financial (which is huge in and of itself) but psychological as well. He’ll need intensive therapy to develop good coping skills and most of all, emotional support from people who truly hold his well-being foremost. I pray to God that he will bless this man every way possible for the rest of his days.

When he was incarcerated, i wasn't even born. Now i'm 41 years. This is US of human human rights 😭😭😭😭

How many more are still in prison for the same reasons ?
They kept an innocent man imprisoned for over 43 years. Explain to me how those people were not rotten to their core.
That's sad 😥he's been institutionalized, live the the rest of your life to the fullest🙏❤my prayers are with you 🌺🦋🤗
Prayers won't help him! I'm not from the USA, living on a small disability pension (welfare equivalent) and donated 10 bucks on the go fund me page so you can surely too.
@@allaboutperspective650 I'm hoping his wrongs will be fixed so he can get what due to him,your $10 that you contribute was all good and fine but you can't tell people how to spend their money 🤫🌺🦋
I feel so bad for this man and his poor mom who went to her grave not being able to see her son. I'm sure the stress of this situation contributed to his mom's declining health and death. God bless this man and his family.🙏🏽❤
The time he lost is truly irreplaceable ... I hope he gets as many years of life possible even though there's no way he can get those years back. May he live as long as possible so he can accomplish some of his dreams.
He's going to have a serious journey getting adjusted to life outside of prison.
There's a lot of disdain for lawyers out there but if I could ever become an attorney in future life, it would be the kind that Tricia Rojo-Bushnell is. Using your talent and intellect to fight for justice - for those who have been wrongly convicted and forgotten. These are the real heroes.
This man deserves vast compensation for this.
