Nope, we cannot change it all back from the past and we cannot undo the past! The Justice systems ripped their freedoms away for a long period of time over someone else’s crimes or for NOTHING!
How people are sentenced without physical evidence is beyond me. The judicial system is corrupt. I hope all the people who are wrongly convicted get the justice and compensation they deserve.
When Police and/or Prosecutors .. lie, cheat, mislead, hide evidence - that leads to a conviction .. then later overturned .. they should face years in Prison themselves.
Yeah, wouldn't happen in most countries but you find a LOT in America. Also, just a not, America has the most people incarcerated of their population than anyone in the world. More than double actually. There is a correlation I feel.
Not only do you lose your child, but you get convicted of it, thrown behind bars for over two decades, and sentenced to death?!? How absolutely awful. That detective should have had criminal charges brought against him!!!!!!!!!!
What bugs me incredibly is that many of these people never received compensation for what can only be described as torture. Psychological torture, your identity being smashed, turning the world against you by falsely informing them and then spending years behind bars between the worst that society has to offer. How many people in these situations committed suicide and are not in this video.
I can tell you first hand that being in prison is know cake walk, and these people went through more trauma due to the fact of being instant then I went through being guilty
I’m assuming by compensation you mean money? Why do tax paying citizens have to pay for the government screwing up? I mean, where that money is coming from
Should be a million for every year served. Also the ones that made the false allegations should be made to serve the same amount of time the prisoners served.
@@knockout-hour7606 You would have to prove intent rather than just error, it is easy to suggest someone might be guilty of something and do so in good conscience but find out they were not guilty. Its impossible to charge people for false allegations unless they are malicious
The first man I saw broke my heart, being an undocumented immigrant and after arresting him with no evidence for this long they still trying to deport him and not pay him the $720,000 he is owed for wrong convictions! I wanna throw up
I think that, in these cases where the detective has clearly been caught lying to the court on multiple occasions, an independent body (it needs to be independent, because his department will sweep it under the rug) should go back and review all the cases he was involved in. I wonder how many other innocent people are rotting in jail/prison because he was too lazy to do his job properly? I shudder at the thought...
The false accusers should be given LIFE sentences... Anything less than that is totally unacceptable! The corrupt cops, prosecutors and court officials would be less eager to get convictions without proper investigations.
I agree, what is sad is the tax payers are subject to pay the money rewarded and those that lied doesn't get in trouble, but thanks be to God, their is a day coming that each person has to give an account for everything they have done on this earth. Then the punishments will be rewarded,
The people that put these innocent people behind bars should lose their jobs and any pensions or retirements they get from their jobs. I'm disgusted. This system is a failure and I would love to change it.
PEOPLE THAT PUT THOSE INNOCENT PEOPLE BEHIND BARS SHOULD END UP IN PRISON! don't even mention pensions and retirements. fuck corrupt cops, judges and this entire broken system. btw. I am a victim of this shit system as well. I know exactly how those people feel 😢
What makes me angry is all of the compulsive liars are not held accountable at all. Yet if I filed a false police report or made a bogus 911 call, I’d be held liable.

Wow at least you know you did it . and admit your right even criminal or not doing something u didn’t and go away for all that time so way longer then 10

Being falsely accused - of anything - has always seemed to me to be one of the most horrendous things. The state can be the same as a murdering terrorist in such cases. One of my wisest college teachers advised -- if you are falsely accused -- to hire the most effective law firm to protect your liberty & reputation. Sell everything to raise money to get the best lawyer.
The sad part is that false accusations nowadays occurs a lot and even when identified liars still roam free in the streets with no punishment. The judicial system is deeply corrupt
I’m an old ex con and was always guilty of my crimes but MANY times innocent people go to prison because district attorneys too often only want to win their cases no matter what. 100 people were immediately released from death row when DNA evidence came about 😮😮😮
My Heart hurts badly for this guy cried out “besides my mother, nobody believed me” 😢😢 so sorry for all those who spent many years behind bars that did not commit a crime 😢 Honestly, amount of $$$$$….can’t even buy your innocent life nor valuable things in this poor 🌎 May God Bless You All and all those who helped you through and through the years 🙏🙏🙏🙏
It is so sad to see these poor souls who have been in the prison system so long are still so humble to an extent. I praise them for their resilience and courage...
Detective Saldate needs to serve life in prison,,, Innocent people going to prison for you lying on the stand is inexcusable... its even worse when you are a trusted peace officer
Alot of cases i swear the detectives just pin the crime on who they suspect the most just for the case to be closed and they can receive credit. Absolutely know care for a persons life and freedom.
I don't have to imagine, I am in a similar situation. The difference is I got ten year sentence which is practically almost fourteen with five year parole and, the kicker, may never see my children. Saw my daughter just when she turned three and my boy when he was four in 2005. As of today I still can't see them and because of brainwashed they may never want to see me.
And this is why I don’t believe in the death penalty and the saddest part is no one even said sorry they just said your free to go. That’s just a big amount of bull that the system feels that’s some of them dont need to be compensated. They absolutely should be compensated and get their asses kissed too
No amount of money can help these people life is limited money is not you lose money you can gain it back but if you lose 50 years of it behind bars you can’t get those years back
When I studied criminology we had some case studies of people who were wrongly convicted. For some of them the worst thing about it all was that even after they were let go after years or decades in prison, the people around them didn't believe them. It doesn't matter that their sentence got overturned, they were still guilty in the eyes of the people. They couldn't find jobs, were abandoned by family and friends. Their lives were still ruined, even after leaving prison.
Wrongly convicted by a corrupt justice system, finally gets freed only to have that same justice system withholding the money he rightfully deserves. Shit is crazy
@@marjoriecorcora7617 Not just that case but others too. And it does apply as gathering evidence and proving innocent people guilty is the justice system. Instead of apologizing and paying them the money they are owed, the judicial system fights against paying the wrongly convicted their due restitutions.
The compensation is pathetic and reflects the utter contempt and disregard the state holds for its victims. Maybe a minimum starting point of one hundred million would actually give the state officials the motivation to fix the problem in the first place .
It’s shocking how cops and juries will blindly believe and convict someone based solely on a confession but will dismiss someone who professes their innocence.
This is so sad,those poor people,makes you wonder how many other people this has happened to 😥😥 They should receive $1 million for every year that they spent in jail
What a series of shocking situations that these innocent people have ended up having to spend either their lives in prison or on death row when innocent. It is appalling that so many of the States in the U.S.A either pay no compensation or fight it is shocking and unacceptable. It should be mandatory for all States to pay compensation at a predetermined level.
I am living this with my husband, my husband in 2015 was arrested for a murder that he didn’t commit there was no DNA no fingerprints and they denied him gun residue test, and he was arrested within an hour of the shooting named Jeff, that who was actually the killer and still is it that turn states evidence saying it was my husband but even a person from the jail cell that Jeff was in admitted admitted that Jeff was in there, boasting about being the killer and the witness from the jail had details of the killing that was never released but because just took a plea deal, I feel like they just immediately wanted my husband to pay even know he was guilty because they couldn’t get actual killer my husband’s been in prison now over eight years and we just want the truth out there and for him to be set free unfortunately, you can’t afford lawyers. This is an uphill battle. he has missed out on his kids lives. His grandkids lives now all because the state of Kansas just wanted someone to pay when it was the truth or not also the lead detective on this case later on a couple years later was fired for corruption, and having people lie on the stand so taking sexual favors to help people not get charges as long as they would do what he asked him to do on the stand until he said free, and the truth is out
All of these individuals should have right to sue their prosecutors. It would teach them to actually review evidence before bringing charges in the first place.
As a man that has been in prison for a crime I didn’t commit these videos are so heartwarming to see I was lucky as I only spent 6 months on remand until someone came forward and confirmed that I was innocent and telling the truth and then I was released from prison I can’t begin to understand how it must feel to have a life sentence overturned 🙏
Some states offer no compensation. All wrongly convicted people should get $1m for each year in jail as a punishment and warning to states to give fair trials.
The detectives that caused this with their pursuit of conviction on people that were innocent should be in prison for the same amount of time that the person was in prison for
43 years.. he was 77 years old when they finally let him go. he's spent his whole life in a prison for a crime he had nothing to do with and hes free as an elderly man with only fewer years left then before with his life. only 2 mil for that? the "justice" system outta be embarrassed and ASHAMED of themselves, and people wonder why most dont like cops or anything involved with that. sick and so heartbreaking.
This is the saddest thing that shows you how bad our society is you can't even pay for taking someone's life away for 24 years money can't get that back but you're still not going to give them anything that is disheartening
There was a time I trusted the judicial system, but If you have ever been falsely accused of something you didn’t do by evil people who lie or manipulate the truth, you quickly realize that some people lack integrity and how easy this can happen. Sometimes lawyers rack up and tax dollars wasted on the suffering of the innocent. When people knowingly criminalize the real victim, the compensation should be greater. I pray for true justice for anyone in this situation because I personally know how this feels and the emotional, financial and spiritual impact it can have on someone who didn’t even cause the problems, because of evil people.
When we know what happen to people in prison ( violence, R***, mental breakdown, and all), what would any amount of money do to their life. People guilty of such wrongdoing should be prosecuted and jail. This is inexcusable and unforgettable. Just a real mess
How dare they fight paying these people! No Amount can give there life and horrible experiences back but they deserve millions and millions!!! Pay these people!!
Imagine not seeing your children grow up, or not being able to give your daughter away at her marriage, or not seeing your grand children grow up, your friends and family have deserted you, and your wife or husband wants a divorce because you will never see the outside world again. And then you have to try to survive the atrocities of being in prison for life on your own as well. So it is certainly not a story of 'all is well that ends well'. Not even all the money in the world is enough to repay these people for the sheer hell they went through.
I started to think about how many innocent people are behind bars doing big numbers or have been executed. The tragic case of George Stinny comes to mind.💔
Imagine wrongfully imprisoning someone for literal decades and then fighting to not have to pay them a relatively small sum of money and on top of that considering deportation.
How is that even possible? YOU WOULD THINK they would try to get as much evidence as possible for a frickin crime.. but no, just a random person sayin "Oh YeAh ThEy CoNfEsSeD-" can get an innocent life in prison for the rest of their lives?!?!? WHAT?!?!??!
This is why capital punishment should be avoided at any cost. You may be killing an innocent person which is a heinous unbearable crime itself.Spilling innocent blood is a curse!

That’s just a big amount of bull that the system feels that’s some of them dont need to be compensated. They absolutely should be compensated and get their asses kissed too
5:03 $2 million dollars ?????? After 43 years of his life sitting in a rotten hell hole? 🤬🤬
What a wicked world,why convict someone without physical evidence
No amount of money can help these people life is limited money is not you lose money you can gain it back but if you lose 50 years of it behind bars you can’t get those years back
When I studied criminology we had some case studies of people who were wrongly convicted. For some of them the worst thing about it all was that even after they were let go after years or decades in prison, the people around them didn't believe them. It doesn't matter that their sentence got overturned, they were still guilty in the eyes of the people. They couldn't find jobs, were abandoned by family and friends. Their lives were still ruined, even after leaving prison.
I can't believe some of them dont get compensation.
Wrongly convicted by a corrupt justice system, finally gets freed only to have that same justice system withholding the money he rightfully deserves. Shit is crazy
Having a witness SWEAR it was you and your nephew who committed the crime, that falls nowhere into the judicial system.
@@marjoriecorcora7617 Not just that case but others too. And it does apply as gathering evidence and proving innocent people guilty is the justice system. Instead of apologizing and paying them the money they are owed, the judicial system fights against paying the wrongly convicted their due restitutions.
The compensation is pathetic and reflects the utter contempt and disregard the state holds for its victims. Maybe a minimum starting point of one hundred million would actually give the state officials the motivation to fix the problem in the first place .
Only God knows how many innocent people are currently rotting in jails all over the world and in death roll for crimes they know nothing about.
Or people that have died and never cleared their names
Every single person wrongly convicted should automatically be compensated as soon as they are set free
It’s shocking how cops and juries will blindly believe and convict someone based solely on a confession but will dismiss someone who professes their innocence.
This is so sad,those poor people,makes you wonder how many other people this has happened to 😥😥
They should receive $1 million for every year that they spent in jail
Imagine losing 25 years of your life in prison to receive 1 million in compensation, as if it compares. It does not.
What a series of shocking situations that these innocent people have ended up having to spend either their lives in prison or on death row when innocent. It is appalling that so many of the States in the U.S.A either pay no compensation or fight it is shocking and unacceptable. It should be mandatory for all States to pay compensation at a predetermined level.
It has to be horrific to know you are innocent but your freedom depends on people/ institutions believe you are not 💔
I am living this with my husband, my husband in 2015 was arrested for a murder that he didn’t commit there was no DNA no fingerprints and they denied him gun residue test, and he was arrested within an hour of the shooting named Jeff, that who was actually the killer and still is it that turn states evidence saying it was my husband but even a person from the jail cell that Jeff was in admitted admitted that Jeff was in there, boasting about being the killer and the witness from the jail had details of the killing that was never released but because just took a plea deal, I feel like they just immediately wanted my husband to pay even know he was guilty because they couldn’t get actual killer my husband’s been in prison now over eight years and we just want the truth out there and for him to be set free unfortunately, you can’t afford lawyers. This is an uphill battle. he has missed out on his kids lives. His grandkids lives now all because the state of Kansas just wanted someone to pay when it was the truth or not also the lead detective on this case later on a couple years later was fired for corruption, and having people lie on the stand so taking sexual favors to help people not get charges as long as they would do what he asked him to do on the stand until he said free, and the truth is out
All of these individuals should have right to sue their prosecutors. It would teach them to actually review evidence before bringing charges in the first place.
As a man that has been in prison for a crime I didn’t commit these videos are so heartwarming to see I was lucky as I only spent 6 months on remand until someone came forward and confirmed that I was innocent and telling the truth and then I was released from prison I can’t begin to understand how it must feel to have a life sentence overturned 🙏
Shame on the corrupt system of America. Keeping an innocent in prison is beyond me.
Props to your research. Apprechiate the hardwork! Keep it up!
And this is exactly why the death sentence needs to be abolished.
This is so painful 😭 I was in tears God console this people and their family because no amount of money will compensate them for all this charges
Should've been WAY more "compensation" to all of them, followed by public apologies and indictments for the ones who put them there.
Some states offer no compensation. All wrongly convicted people should get $1m for each year in jail as a punishment and warning to states to give fair trials.
The detectives that caused this with their pursuit of conviction on people that were innocent should be in prison for the same amount of time that the person was in prison for
43 years.. he was 77 years old when they finally let him go. he's spent his whole life in a prison for a crime he had nothing to do with and hes free as an elderly man with only fewer years left then before with his life. only 2 mil for that? the "justice" system outta be embarrassed and ASHAMED of themselves, and people wonder why most dont like cops or anything involved with that. sick and so heartbreaking.
lol how the hell are you gonna try to get money from a INNOCENT man you put in jail for 14 years?
This is the saddest thing that shows you how bad our society is you can't even pay for taking someone's life away for 24 years money can't get that back but you're still not going to give them anything that is disheartening
This scares me so bad 😰
43 yrs?? I can't believe that !! Just horrible, poor man 😢
bro 43 years gone and they only get 2 mil?..... jeez..
Imagine someone murdering your child and you serve time grieving your child behind bars.
There was a time I trusted the judicial system, but If you have ever been falsely accused of something you didn’t do by evil people who lie or manipulate the truth, you quickly realize that some people lack integrity and how easy this can happen. Sometimes lawyers rack up and tax dollars wasted on the suffering of the innocent. When people knowingly criminalize the real victim, the compensation should be greater. I pray for true justice for anyone in this situation because I personally know how this feels and the emotional, financial and spiritual impact it can have on someone who didn’t even cause the problems, because of evil people.
Wow you put the guy in max security prison for 14 years, buy him a fkn house and give him legal status. The fact they will not is mindblowing.
When we know what happen to people in prison ( violence, R***, mental breakdown, and all), what would any amount of money do to their life. People guilty of such wrongdoing should be prosecuted and jail. This is inexcusable and unforgettable. Just a real mess
Hearing of all of these evil rushes to "justice" is terrifying.
And of course no apologies from the court!!
1:35 Cannot believe the state lawyers are fighting not to compensate this innocent man.
How dare they fight paying these people! No Amount can give there life and horrible experiences back but they deserve millions and millions!!! Pay these people!!
Imagine not seeing your children grow up, or not being able to give your daughter away at her marriage, or not seeing your grand children grow up, your friends and family have deserted you, and your wife or husband wants a divorce because you will never see the outside world again. And then you have to try to survive the atrocities of being in prison for life on your own as well. So it is certainly not a story of 'all is well that ends well'. Not even all the money in the world is enough to repay these people for the sheer hell they went through.
Armando Saldate, the detective who falsely testified against Debra Milke, STILL works for Law Enforcement & Public Safety in Denver.
Why haven't these innocent people been compensated for their wrongful conviction. Why?
This happens way too often. There's no amount of money that can compensate for the trauma these people were exposed to.
500000 for 23 yrs! My God that’s insane!😩
false witness should carry a custodial sentence, regardless of the witness's status or position in society.
I started to think about how many innocent people are behind bars doing big numbers or have been executed. The tragic case of George Stinny comes to mind.💔
Imagine wrongfully imprisoning someone for literal decades and then fighting to not have to pay them a relatively small sum of money and on top of that considering deportation.
How is that even possible? YOU WOULD THINK they would try to get as much evidence as possible for a frickin crime.. but no, just a random person sayin "Oh YeAh ThEy CoNfEsSeD-" can get an innocent life in prison for the rest of their lives?!?!? WHAT?!?!??!
Great video bro. I subbed. You are amazing. Best wishes to all wrongfully convicted people.
This is why capital punishment should be avoided at any cost.
You may be killing an innocent person which is a heinous unbearable crime itself.Spilling innocent blood is a curse!
why does this world tear so many lives apart
