      A few weeks later the police impound the car its his dad's car who was out of town at the time. Dad comes home, goes to the police to get the car back, has no idea what took place while he was gone, and takes the son with him to drive the car back...
      The police separate the dad and son and eventually tells the dad that "his car was used in an armed robbery of a McDonald's)..
      At the end of the investigation, it's determined that the 2 guys Robbed the McDonald's while the son waited in the car as the get-away driver. But the son adamantly denied knowing anything about a robbery, had faith in "the system" and fought it in court. While the 2 guys plead guilty to the armed robbery and got 7 years each. The son lost his case and got...........THIRTY YEARS IN PRISON!!

      You’re right, as a PARDON is for adjudicating guilty people. This man did nothing wrong, as he is innocent. That said, because he is innocent, he needs a judge or an elected official to have his adjudicated judgment of GUILTY to be VACATED or OVERTURNED, in order to be released.
      He is still in jail because the judges won’t vacate or overturn the judgment of guilt, and because he is innocent, he doesn’t qualify for a “pardon,” as pardons are for those who are guilty. Mr. Strickland is still in jail due to the fact that an elected official or a judge to VACATE or OVERTURN the judgment of guilty.
      So, there is a difference between vacating/overturning a guilty judgment and pardoning a guilty judgment, and that’s why he is in jail. It sucks and I hope that someone vacates that judgment.
      Hope that helps!

    The hardest thing for politicians, police and judicial members to say is……..Oooops… we made a mistake. We didn’t do our jobs therefore an innocent person goes to prison, better yet, a black man. We managed to keep blacks off the jury to get him there. Yes, we messed up but we cannot say so. We realize the men that did do it have confessed and done their time…but to admit we did something wrong would show us as weak and not knowing what we do. If someone is falsely imprisoned the police and prosecutors should pay the price because chances,are,they withheld important information from the defence. PATHETIC!

      The receipt because its in a computer system and police can't touch those computer systems. The text messages with pics of what you are doing so no one can ever say you were lying, and being seen with multiple people makes it so if they try to frame you, that group of people will hopefully call BS and let the world know you didn't commit the crime.

      This is completely unacceptable. The law stopping him from becoming a free man should be null and void in every case like this and anyone who facilitated the prevention of his released from prison should in turn spend time in jail for their own criminal actions against this man. This could never be okay in any universe regardless of what the law says. You know this poor man has gone numb just to avoid going insane in there. Absolutely unconscionable how they justify wasting his life over a stupid, nonsensical law.
