@@whatitisnt2094 I personally think it needs an overhaul. I think police officers/ police department needs to carry some sort of insurance that will pay when injustice is served upon another. I also think invsestorgaters and prosecutors and judges should also carry some sort of insurance and should face time when they knowingly withhold evidence and/or falsely accuse/ imprison someone. The tax payers shouldn't foot the bill, the insurance they carry should. I really believe prosecutors that willingly and knowingly imprision someone that is innocent, should serve time and be held acclubtable for restitution to the falsely imprisoned person. We the people should demand private prisons be shut down. A private prison cannot make money unless they have customers/prisoners in it. How do they keep the private prison full, ponder that answer? The judges and others have to be in compliance, to falsely accuse someone and/or hand down extremely unjust sentences. Often the crime doesn't fit the crime. 30 years if you're caught with drugs (one baggie of whatever drug), too me this is a sentence that doesn't fit the crime. Why does the business down the street have to carry insurance, when a police department doesn't? Yes, I know its publicly funded, but the public should not have to pay, when crooks knowly falsely accuse and imprison someone.
They get paid for every person that is imprisoned, the longer they're incarcerated the more they get, so you see there's no incentive to find truth or prove innocence, there is incentive to imprison. There's also reward for finding a 'dangetous suspect', such as promotion and so on. Look into privately owned prisons. Really sick soruations going on there, such as these prisons need to hold a certain occupancy, like 90%. Paid to prosecute, no matter who is being prosecuted, innocent or guilty. Same thing with police quotas that need to be met. 'War on drugs' documentary is really interesting. Basically it appears laws are made to imprison certain 'groups'. It's so apparent it's predictable.
What is also shameful is the fact once they are proven to have been falsely convicted they have to fight the legal system to get compensation (if the state even allows compensation. PA for example does NOT). Why did this guy have to fight/wait 5 long years to get compensation after it’s proven he was actually framed by a NYPD detective? Did the city/state hope he wouldn’t survive his fight with cancer so they wouldn’t have to pay? Honestly, that would not surprise/shock me at all.
I am literally drying my tears while typing this, Barry is such an amazing man with a beautiful personality and loving nature. I hope that Eppolito lives to a very very old age and feels the pain and frustration that Barry felt 10 times over. Barry, I wish you joy and happiness and long life, may your God go with you always. Vanessa, Zoe, and Barry, you are real knights in shining armor, this world is a better place for having people like you who care enough for real justice.
I'm Sorry, but I'm afraid I have some bad news. Barry Gibbs had passed away on March 23, 2018. But I'm sure that he is looking down on all of us very happy to know the very kind words people have given to him both in person, and comments like yours, even in death. He is at peace knowing that these 2 corrupt detectives who really are aweful, manipulative, and twisted mobsters, got to finally pay for their crimes and his story finally been heard.
It's not just someone innocent being accused of the crime he didn't do, but also the injustice towards the victim's family. I hope karma hits these people hard.
How could you possibly sleep at night knowing you've had ANYTHING to do with an innocent person going to jail for even 1 minute?? I'll never EVER UNDERSTAND IT!! ESPECIALLY WHEN IT'S A CROOKED PUBLIC OFFICIAL!!! I can only hope and pray that they'll pay in some way during their lifetime!! #KARMAISATRUEBITCH
What's even more disgusting is the fact that there are ppl with the POWER to have innocent ppl put in jail for life! I was so happy that Epilito was finally jailed for all his 🐂💩 ! But even more so that Barry got to get up in that courtroom & just tear that POS a new one! He needed to get that off his chest.
It’s so true that some people just don’t have a conscience and so don’t care if they destroy others lives. As Mohammed says they won’t get what they’ve done even when they take their last breath.
This was so emotional, I literally cried, laughed felt anger and at last happiness. Barry you are amazing. Vanessa, Zoe and Barry Thank you for never giving up, and for all you do.
I hope that a human life and what clearly identifies just the tip of the iceberg of what happens in the hidden crevices among our corrupt system of inequality and non accessible justice even by our own professions which goes beyond tapping into the broad spectrum of feelings in emotional reactions. With identification, shared accountability, understanding beyond feeling, and the opportunity for revision or modification the implementation of actions guided by our legislative and constitutional framework for awareness and political/public policy reform (and in this case, even an obvious profession of overdue revision), only then can outcomes of long term solutions take place guided by the principles of equality, dignity, and justice of our fellow people. Tapping into your own emotional spectrum is only the first, superficial response in which provides the temporary light on the impacts of discriminatory, corrupt, and unequal treatment violating public policy. By identifying our feelings after Barry's story, that won't promote action that leads to change. Stopping at emotional response becomes an acute and reactive based never ending cycle of your own justification in a self serving prophecy reminding that you were able to care by having/sharing such emotions, but simply do not cared enough to transition those emotions into action leading to overdue changes and reform.
What person has given more to their country than this man who served in combat in Vietnam, then in the Postal service, and then railroaded into prison for 19 years
'Given more to their country' and 'served combat in Vietnam' should be 'got sent to Vietnam by the government, to serve in a war that had nothing to do with them' a tragedy for Vietnam and for all the young american men who got sent there!!

Best doc EVAH! Thanks to each & everyone @ the innocence project that worked on Barry's case & got him out! Barry, I'm so, so happy for you in so many ways. Ty, sir for your military service. Salute! 🇺🇲
I'm interested in the focus and attention in others responses to this story of the emotional validation and sharing of an acute response. Feeling angry is suppose to produce a reminder that there is a wrong made either to ourselves or towards another person. On a real leadership foundation, anger turns into our actions to either further investigate or modify potential wrongs or what produced the emotional response in the first place. Listen to Dr King's speech I Have a Dream, from a leader which through his anger and intermittent, negative expression, promoted awareness in finding a solution and reform for a population. The emotions you share of sadness you are sharing as a reader is leaning towards what is known as the grieving process and the transitions of feelings of levels to render the final stage of acceptance, thus leading to closure. This is not a story in which can be resolved by therapeutic methods of the grieving process, because injustices that are developed from decisions or actions towards another person or population under a preventable and foreseeable consequence or outcome based on the reduction or removal of social justice principles and usually a position of an abuse of power is not the same as a natural loss or a change related to life's ups and downs which is not a preventable nor can be foreseen/a foreseeable outcome (now is the time to tap dance around the component of control) thus rendering a loss, experience, and/or result that does not infringe on the rights nor reduce the social justice principle of another person. What appears as similar to a loss or a change in a person's life is not. The grieving process seeks closure through stages of denial, anger, and sadness to render acceptance keeping the rights and core principles of another person static, yet an injustice is a process of action in which a person or population seeks to reinstate their newly dynamic and deviated social justice principles through accessible justice to render the right to self value (and what is the core right to their own health and safety) which is not the same as the steps of grief followed by acceptance. **The poor ability to differentiate** changes or losses which is simply just a part of life's ups and downs among all diverse people that renders acceptance by one universal process of grief does not shift a person's or population's social justice principles or self worth which is an experience based **on an external component ** **verses** changes or losses rendered by a variety of violations infringing on constitutional rights resulting in exacerbating resistance of defensive human behaviors to reinstate their equal rights which is based **on an inartistic component.**. This sheds light on core root of all national and global violations from of an abuse of power and position leading to the problematic systematic breakdown that often renders little to no change people pushing them into a forced level of acceptance of this. Grief does not fit into that picture. As Dr King reminded, that "if the NSF check for justice is sent back to them and they are expected to go back to business as usual, then they have a rude awakening." This is also a reminder that he would not be pushed into a level of acceptance that rendered hardly any accountability nor change.
Barry was a tenant in my house for several years after his release, he was an amazing man and did not deserve what happened to him, may he rest in peace ❤
Thanks so much for stating the amount Barry was compensated. I find it really interesting although I personally feel he should have received $1 million per year!!! Great doc. Feel bad for Barry but God got him thru the injustice. Stay strong and God Bless!
Eppolito is dead. But to think that this callous man suffered even a little bit from his deeds is ridiculous. His daughter said, after he died, that “he died like he lived, on his own terms, as a fighter. And I will miss him and love him forever.” How quaint. The real question is how many more Barry’s are out there just from those 2 crooked cops?
He only got 9M dollars? He should have got at least 90M dollars, if not 900M. It's insane to spend 18 years in prison for nothing, your best years. So so sad.😔
Louis Eppolito was literally doing contract murders for Cosa Nostra crime boss Gas pipe Casso not realizing he would ultimately try to cooperate with the FBI for a reduced sentence. However you must follow the prison rules which Gas pipe would not or could not follow. His initial cooperation included informing on crime boss Casso.
I THANK Barry from the UK for serving his country but so angry that the pathetic, insulting police work cost him all those years locked up for a murder he didn't commit..I'm sorry to the family of the victim also... It's bloody embarrassing for the justise to fail them all so bad....Thanks to Vanessa and Zoe for never giving up ..... I wish Barry all the very best from the day he was freed and I hope he got all the help and support to help him heal the best he can..
Just imagine how often this happens smfh. Those involved should all be held accountable for every single false prosecution aside from being compensated
On one other note. Mr. Barry gibbs. You are an extraordinary Strong will And you have an enormous heart thank you most of all And thank you for serving this Great country semper Fi
The best part of the whole thing was knowing that POS was held accountable in the end for what he did to Barry. Now he’s lost his freedom, the system finally did something right.
the message sent is what? The encouragement of death as the only solution? Then you come to figure out why the variable covid didn't work to increase and produce an ultimate pseudo result to "stay healthy and safe"
I always thought of a snitch is someone who gives factual information to police to uncover criminal activity. It doesn't make much sense that a snitch tell lies. What would be the point?
I'm so happy for Barry and that one man behind his false impressionment is behind bars. I am also happy that this document was made for the public to see. I'm very happy Vanessa and others were there for him, after his release.
Sadly Barry passed away in 2018..I'm so glad that he was able to really embrace his life in the last years! Love you Barry..you are truly missed..Rest in peace
at the end of the video when barry reports sharing his story makes him feel "good" inside is really about having the right through justice to have his dignity reinstated as an essential element and is interdependent on the other necessary principles such as equality and justice to meet objectives of health and safety. . Through that justice, it recognizes facts, implements actions based on shared systematic accountability, and provides some type of meaning for the wrongs done to him in which he can be able to share such errors in our system even on a future, preventable level. If he was not provided nor treated with the principles such as respect for persons through the process of accessible justice, it would not feel "good" for him to share his story due to the devoid crucial principles in which formate his core dynamics and self worth provided through validation and social justice principles. Unfortunately, he is only one of the few thousands if not millions of people who never had their right to accessible justice nor have their self value allowed to be re-instated after the wrongs committed, because unfortunately, being out of sight is truly being out of mind among the forgotten souls. Millions who are innocent and not provided the opportunity to be heard and therefore not free I could only imagine would be similar to Barry after being framed and who are so systematically and chronically mentally broken down which is the death penalty in itself while merely being kept alive and breathing. Kudos he was one of the lucky ones by the few strangers that had the ability to care and to identify and expose the systematic corruption and abuse of power and position from the very professions that should keep America safe, but instead, targeted and probably continue to target obvious minorities as easy scapegoats as in Barry's case knowing they will have less opportunity to accessible justice.
It's Absolutely horrendous how some of these men were convicted with no real evidence? No compensation is worth 20 to 30 years in jail? Godbless all of you my friends I really hope you can enjoy what life you have left...Paul... London... England...
So happy for him ❤ this man didn’t deserve to be locked up for 20 yrs on a crime he literally without a doubt did not commit. Glad that pos cop will rott in prison. God bless the lawyers who help people like Barry
Finally one of these stories where they got what they deserved afterwards. Compensation AND the corrupt officer behind bars. Awesome. Doesn't make up for all those years in prison but I'm happy Barry is able to live a comfortable life now and even has a wife. Those ppl at the Innocence Project have a special place for them waiting in heaven once their work on Earth is done and they've done more than enough. I hope they all get a good retirement.
But there's no mention of the prosecuting attorney who pushed forward with a case that had zero evidence. Beyond the fact that there were no charges, or even sanctions, the state's Attorney that took this BS case, hasn't even been shamed.
I work in Aboriginal and Criminal Justice and have for 40+ yrs and I can attest to such! Crime does pay if you are a wealthy politician! There are people in prison who did not commit the crime for which they were convicted! 4-8% of those on death row are innocent!
Wow, very impressive. It’s nice to know people doing good for aboriginals. Thank you for your service. I’m from California but I have read and seen how awful aboriginals have been treated in their own homeland. Thank you 🙏🏼.
They should make a movie out of his case. There's so much subject matter. The framing, being innocent in jail, the cop & the mafia, the guy who was threatened to say it was him... Edit: Oh, he said that he will make a movie. I will look it up.
NO amount of money can make up for losing almost two decades of your life. NO amount of money can make up for getting out and seeing wrinkles that should have come on gradually - not over-night, as they might as well have done - because your life was in limbo for nineteen years. Having no relationships, no real loves, missing out on children and grand-children. Missing out on the World. This time can NEVER, EVER be given back. EVER.
GOD bless you all for saving innocent persons.Keep up the good work.It feels so awesum to know that in this crooked world a people like you with good motive still exist.
He shouldn’t have needed a job, why wasn’t he compensated Jesus Christ he should never have to work again he was framed by police it’s disgusting , they should have given him a home and made him financially secure
what's up with the numerous "sad" comments related to this story? We aren't sitting here in a therapeutic marathon of tapping into and embracing our feelings in which stops at the feelings, are we? As a reminder and what real leadership looks like: Dr Martin Luther King took his feeling of anger and utilized it productively and peaceful through producing further awareness and knowledge with the implementation of action for improved reform and change for the African Americans and the greater good in society. When we begin to focus on the feeling of being sad or sadness replacing the lost opportunity that once could be guided by anger for further awareness and action in legislative, public, or population reform, there usually is a very weak form of leadership brewing. The most simplistic lowest level of existence with a touch of denial or minimization occurs under the promoted feeling of being sad or sadness, eventually turning into blinded acceptance in an obvious indirect, covert encouragement of the grieving process resulting in an obscured, inappropriate correlation pertaining to non associated experience(s) or a problematic topic in which acceptance cancels out action, potential awareness or change for broader society, and/or justice. If Dr King interpreted an area of discriminatory bias and unequal opportunity and treatment as being simply sad as sadness encompassed his thought process, behavior, motivation, and decisions, where would America and the African American population be and under what kind of reform? There wouldn't be, for he would be too busy feeling sad rendering him to ultimately accept the enormous disparity of rights, treatment, and outcomes among diverse people in society. And as a FYI, the username of Hope/Hope contradicts your comment of "so sad". You can't have encouraged acceptance driven by the over-abundant word sad or sadness and have hope at the same time, for there are little to no interdependent elements in which bridge the two. Please save the SAD over-utilized comment for your dog Spot who was ran over by a 12 wheeler on the road while fetching his ball in a non preventable, unforeseeable outcome which the loss can be implemented as an acceptable relation of an experience and criteria for the grieving process so you can finally meet acceptance before buying the second dog in a new chapter.
I hope this man is doing well still. I hope people haven't leached off him now that he's received a big compensation. What a story. I'm glad he was let out. It's terrifying to to imagine how many innocent men and women are locked up
How can a defence attorney not call a witness that could help clear their client of the charges? I''m not a lawyer, but isn't it Law School 101 that you call witnesses that help you win your case? Are these lawyers really that incompetent? I've heard this story a thousand times and this is frightening....
I'm a attorney in Sri Lanka. There are lots of incompetent attorneys in the world. Low IQ lawyers. Actually they are doing lots of harm to the innocent ppl than police
sad fact: even if you can prove beyond a reasonable doubt that you have nothing to do it, it's still almost impossible to get the verdict overturned AND those that screwed up these people's lives are never punished.
Really stoked he got compensated, and was able feel happiness but I just can’t understand why after release he then had to go through such a horrible struggle just to survive, the day he walked out of prison he should of received that compensation.

Coincidentally Barry and his friend look a like. Be blessed Barry
I THANK Barry from the UK for serving his country but so angry that the pathetic, insulting police work cost him all those years locked up for a murder he didn't commit..I'm sorry to the family of the victim also... It's bloody embarrassing for the justise to fail them all so bad....Thanks to Vanessa and Zoe for never giving up ..... I wish Barry all the very best from the day he was freed and I hope he got all the help and support to help him heal the best he can..
what kind of weird gives thumbs down to this?!
@jasm ...probably corrupt cops
Lol was going to say the cop
Barry Gibb died on died on March 23, 2018. Rest in Peace, sir.
Thank you so much for all the work That you guys put in to free the innocence thank From the bottom of my heart the innocent project.
Just imagine how often this happens smfh. Those involved should all be held accountable for every single false prosecution aside from being compensated
And they never are.
You should be paid at least a million a year for wrong imprisonment. And you should never ever have to pay a dime of any tax, EVER AGAIN!!!!
On one other note. Mr. Barry gibbs. You are an extraordinary Strong will And you have an enormous heart thank you most of all And thank you for serving this Great country semper Fi
The best part of the whole thing was knowing that POS was held accountable in the end for what he did to Barry. Now he’s lost his freedom, the system finally did something right.
My mother always said,” there is no fairness nor justice” until Creator comes for you!
So true
the message sent is what? The encouragement of death as the only solution? Then you come to figure out why the variable covid didn't work to increase and produce an ultimate pseudo result to "stay healthy and safe"
"I wouldn't waste your time if I wasn't innocent" damn, look what this poor guy says, it's really make me sad
Rest In Peace Barry . Glad he got to enjoy 13 years of freedom before he passed away
How many others are in jail wrong convictions? What a shame...
Barry Gibbs you are The Man 💯, don't ever forget that!👍
This organization is amazing!
I always thought of a snitch is someone who gives factual information to police to uncover criminal activity.
It doesn't make much sense that a snitch tell lies. What would be the point?
Those People are a True Miracle Worker's, for All the people they've helped
If you are a highly decorated cop that means in reality that you have committed a lot of crimes
Pure wickedness. This man served this country. Sent to prison for a crime he didn't commit.
I'm so happy for Barry and that one man behind his false impressionment is behind bars. I am also happy that this document was made for the public to see. I'm very happy Vanessa and others were there for him, after his release.
Sadly Barry passed away in 2018..I'm so glad that he was able to really embrace his life in the last years! Love you Barry..you are truly missed..Rest in peace
at the end of the video when barry reports sharing his story makes him feel "good" inside is really about having the right through justice to have his dignity reinstated as an essential element and is interdependent on the other necessary principles such as equality and justice to meet objectives of health and safety. . Through that justice, it recognizes facts, implements actions based on shared systematic accountability, and provides some type of meaning for the wrongs done to him in which he can be able to share such errors in our system even on a future, preventable level. If he was not provided nor treated with the principles such as respect for persons through the process of accessible justice, it would not feel "good" for him to share his story due to the devoid crucial principles in which formate his core dynamics and self worth provided through validation and social justice principles. Unfortunately, he is only one of the few thousands if not millions of people who never had their right to accessible justice nor have their self value allowed to be re-instated after the wrongs committed, because unfortunately, being out of sight is truly being out of mind among the forgotten souls. Millions who are innocent and not provided the opportunity to be heard and therefore not free I could only imagine would be similar to Barry after being framed and who are so systematically and chronically mentally broken down which is the death penalty in itself while merely being kept alive and breathing. Kudos he was one of the lucky ones by the few strangers that had the ability to care and to identify and expose the systematic corruption and abuse of power and position from the very professions that should keep America safe, but instead, targeted and probably continue to target obvious minorities as easy scapegoats as in Barry's case knowing they will have less opportunity to accessible justice.
Barry if you read this .I wish You all the Love in the world and Happiness and HEALTH For the rest Of Your Life...
This is so heartbreaking !!!
It's Absolutely horrendous how some of these men were convicted with no real evidence? No compensation is worth 20 to 30 years in jail? Godbless all of you my friends I really hope you can enjoy what life you have left...Paul... London... England...
Old cases should be given to Havard Uni students as part of passing their degrees!!!!
So happy for him ❤ this man didn’t deserve to be locked up for 20 yrs on a crime he literally without a doubt did not commit. Glad that pos cop will rott in prison. God bless the lawyers who help people like Barry
So glad he met all the people that cared about him. I hope him and Myrna are happy.
Finally one of these stories where they got what they deserved afterwards. Compensation AND the corrupt officer behind bars. Awesome. Doesn't make up for all those years in prison but I'm happy Barry is able to live a comfortable life now and even has a wife.
Those ppl at the Innocence Project have a special place for them waiting in heaven once their work on Earth is done and they've done more than enough. I hope they all get a good retirement.
But there's no mention of the prosecuting attorney who pushed forward with a case that had zero evidence. Beyond the fact that there were no charges, or even sanctions, the state's Attorney that took this BS case, hasn't even been shamed.
Not only was he falsely accused and imprisoned, he was on death row. I cannot even imagine.
Justice is only for the Rich in this world...
Thank God for lawyer who work case like this . Sorry for all been false accuse.
When I'm able too.... I will donate monthly to the innocence project!!! They're amazing people doing ABSOLUTELY AMAZING WORK!!!
@@COEXIST-ny4db That is a excellent idea!!,Thank you for the recommendation
Wow you deserve ever bit of happiness this life has to offer..Brother I hope you have a wonderful life "Barry" God Bless
Thank you Innocence Project, highly respected. Fills good that Berry is happy.
This is horrible and very sad! 😢 I thank God for allowing these people to be able to step up for these innocent people! 🙏🏽
Inspirational
Beautiful story
The government should give him millions compensation
Finally an innocent guy gets some compensation.
Excellent !!
I work in Aboriginal and Criminal Justice and have for 40+ yrs and I can attest to such! Crime does pay if you are a wealthy politician! There are people in prison who did not commit the crime for which they were convicted! 4-8% of those on death row are innocent!
Wow, very impressive. It’s nice to know people doing good for aboriginals. Thank you for your service. I’m from California but I have read and seen how awful aboriginals have been treated in their own homeland. Thank you 🙏🏼.
Thank you, from what I've read and documents I've watch the aboriginals are one sect that are treated horrific in the injustice system.
@@Raw_Roots Yes This is true 🦅🌸🦅👵🏽👋🏾🙏🏽🪶
They should make a movie out of his case. There's so much subject matter.
The framing, being innocent in jail, the cop & the mafia, the guy who was threatened to say it was him...
Edit:
Oh, he said that he will make a movie. I will look it up.
RIP Mr Gibbs Sir.
He is a sweetheart.
Barry Sheck has never lost a millisecond of sleep knowing damn well that his client,OJ,nearly decapitated the mother of his two small kids.
I could never understand what he went through, but I UNDERSTAND HIS STORY. I hope him the best.
What a man , tbh working 19yrs wouldn't have given him 9mil , maybe I'm wrong but that was a good compensation for time lost , sorry to you Barry lad
NO amount of money can make up for losing almost two decades of your life. NO amount of money can make up for getting out and seeing wrinkles that should have come on gradually - not over-night, as they might as well have done - because your life was in limbo for nineteen years. Having no relationships, no real loves, missing out on children and grand-children. Missing out on the World. This time can NEVER, EVER be given back. EVER.
Wow man my favorite story, relly cool ending
Wow Barry, I'm glad your free and happy thank ppl who helped him🙏🏾👍🏼💯💥💥💥
GOD bless you all for saving innocent persons.Keep up the good work.It feels so awesum to know that in this crooked world a people like you with good motive still exist.
long life Barry! God bless you!
He shouldn’t have needed a job, why wasn’t he compensated Jesus Christ he should never have to work again he was framed by police it’s disgusting , they should have given him a home and made him financially secure
Great story !!!!
So sad! All the years in prison wasted!
what's up with the numerous "sad" comments related to this story? We aren't sitting here in a therapeutic marathon of tapping into and embracing our feelings in which stops at the feelings, are we? As a reminder and what real leadership looks like: Dr Martin Luther King took his feeling of anger and utilized it productively and peaceful through producing further awareness and knowledge with the implementation of action for improved reform and change for the African Americans and the greater good in society. When we begin to focus on the feeling of being sad or sadness replacing the lost opportunity that once could be guided by anger for further awareness and action in legislative, public, or population reform, there usually is a very weak form of leadership brewing. The most simplistic lowest level of existence with a touch of denial or minimization occurs under the promoted feeling of being sad or sadness, eventually turning into blinded acceptance in an obvious indirect, covert encouragement of the grieving process resulting in an obscured, inappropriate correlation pertaining to non associated experience(s) or a problematic topic in which acceptance cancels out action, potential awareness or change for broader society, and/or justice. If Dr King interpreted an area of discriminatory bias and unequal opportunity and treatment as being simply sad as sadness encompassed his thought process, behavior, motivation, and decisions, where would America and the African American population be and under what kind of reform? There wouldn't be, for he would be too busy feeling sad rendering him to ultimately accept the enormous disparity of rights, treatment, and outcomes among diverse people in society.
And as a FYI, the username of Hope/Hope contradicts your comment of "so sad". You can't have encouraged acceptance driven by the over-abundant word sad or sadness and have hope at the same time, for there are little to no interdependent elements in which bridge the two. Please save the SAD over-utilized comment for your dog Spot who was ran over by a 12 wheeler on the road while fetching his ball in a non preventable, unforeseeable outcome which the loss can be implemented as an acceptable relation of an experience and criteria for the grieving process so you can finally meet acceptance before buying the second dog in a new chapter.
Innocence Project, YOU ARE AMAZING!
I’m just amazed how he has a good spirit after all that he’ll he’s been through 😔
Best doc
I hope this man is doing well still. I hope people haven't leached off him now that he's received a big compensation. What a story. I'm glad he was let out. It's terrifying to to imagine how many innocent men and women are locked up
Barry made me so happy watching this!....
Unbelievable. What a story. Thank God justice was served after all.
Where was this "god" thing when the sentence was delivered in the first place?
@@homerj.simpson7562 you never know maybe that God had a plan with this man and this was the way to achieve it
he was not framed, he was put in jail without evidence
How can a defence attorney not call a witness that could help clear their client of the charges? I''m not a lawyer, but isn't it Law School 101 that you call witnesses that help you win your case? Are these lawyers really that incompetent? I've heard this story a thousand times and this is frightening....
I'm a attorney in Sri Lanka. There are lots of incompetent attorneys in the world. Low IQ lawyers. Actually they are doing lots of harm to the innocent ppl than police
sad fact: even if you can prove beyond a reasonable doubt that you have nothing to do it, it's still almost impossible to get the verdict overturned AND those that screwed up these people's lives are never punished.
Really stoked he got compensated, and was able feel happiness but I just can’t understand why after release he then had to go through such a horrible struggle just to survive, the day he walked out of prison he should of received that compensation.
Innocent project you are angels. It's scary how the justice system is not reliable at all and so many terrible mistakes are made.
Working for the innocence project is my dream job. What an amazing story
Ah bless you Barry 😪 so terrible I hope that bad cop goes to jail !!!
It's scary to think this could happen to any of us at any time. Our justice system is so messed up.
The power of police officers over regular people is terrifying.
you could at least get the title right, he spent 19 years in prison, not 17!
