- A Houston man who spent six years behind bars for a crime he didn't commit had his conviction overturned. Dozens of other defendants linked to Gerald Goines have had their cases dismissed but only Jeffery and two others were declared "actually innocent."

But was the ex cop put in jail for lying?
@Chevyman ll he has been charged with felony murder, tampering with government records and not sure what else. There were numerous, not just 1,2 or 3 but NUMEROUS convictions overturned bc this crooked cop lied. States going to be paying out MILLIONS of dollars to these innocent people locked up bc of him
@@chevymanll2402 yes, not necessarily for this case. Yet they let him out on bond. How disgusting. He should’ve had no bond, and gave life no parole for the killings.
Access denied
Crooked cops affect everybody make everybody look bad
Punish that lying cop.
The “cop” has a murder charge in a separate case. That’s what I believe led to the investigation of all his cases and Mr. Jeffrey’s exoneration.
Death penalty for that cop
Cop's are professional liars they learn to lie in they academy
@@brynneholt1990thanx 😊
Have a police dog bite that cop.. 1,000 bites..
That's the type of Judge that deserves to be re-elected
hands down!
Awesome Judge 👨⚖️ need more like him.💙
Period. 🦋
He found the truth and apologized for wrongly accusing him
Yes, re-elected again and again and again!
That cop should have been made to serve his time.
Damn right. Tack on 35% more time on top of that just to really drive the nail.
He did, later in life he was sentenced to murder and falsifying a government doccument, it's probably the reason why they are looking back on his cases, as when you learn someone lies, you got to see if there is background.
@@LatterReign1013 sentenced to murder?
@@AfricanLionBatlike Wagner the Putin buddy.
@@joergkirchberger3979 idk what you're talking about but someone commits murder. Murder is an illegal killing. You can be sentenced to death if that's what they were talking about.
Judge rose above every other judge in us with this move of empathy. Thank you judge for keeping hope alive
Cops, judges and DA's who lie to convict the innocent should face a mandatory prison sentence of 10 years!
20
Death row! It's a crime against humanity.
It should be a mandatory sentence of chain gang labor plus 50 yrs to be served non concurrent
The doj and the fbi would disagree.
Life bro, life.
If you can prove 1 set up, they were ALL set up.
We need charges filed on that corrupt cop
Agree
I just opened the link up top which explains everything. This dirty cop was charged for murder and other crimes for another case. On this man case charges are coming. The cop and two other dirty cops got shot. This cop put a lot of people in jail. Sad and crazy at the same time. Read the link up top.
@@Materialgirl_3hi, read my comment I wrote under yours.
All the info is posted if you'd have attempted to educate yourself. The reason this man was freed was largely due to a different case relating to the cop being charged for murder abd tampering with government investigations
He's not just a judge, he's a human being. Respect to that guy
he should serve the same amount of prison time he wrongfully sentenced the other guy to , along with the lying officer
He only doing it bc he black
@@jxxl6698the judge goes with what is brought so he actually shouldn’t lol
Now charge the cop for lying witch is a felony
Yes.
First time EVER seeing a judge do this. We need more like him💯
The best thing to do is to wear a body cam at all time you remember
U not gon get this from white judges no matter what color you are.
Respect
this judge would not do it to a white guy. Don't fool yourself.@@zeejameson503

Put the dirty cop in jail
If you put the dirty cop in jail then every single cop in the u.s. would be in jail.

That apology from the judge was the beginning of that man's healing process. Much respect to that judge.
💯💯💯💯💯💯💯🙌
apologies don't pay the rent. The judge is part of the problem.
@@garymartin7369 Most of them are. But I thought the jury convict you and the judge sentence you.
@Gary Martin the judge is the one who set him free. That's an honorable man, you shouldn't downplay his actions.
2023, "Fact!"
Yes! This judge put himself in this man’s shoes, stepped off his bench, and went to personally apologize and shake the man’s hand. This is the example I would love to see more
Personaly
@@Tracey-xr8qh personally You can google. This is the correct spelling
Yes we saw the video too.
An apology & shake of hands is NOT enough. He needs a financial apology, and the policeman needs to be charge and sent to prison!!
100%
Been saying that all down through here.
Fk that.
And the DA.
And the investigators
How about reparations for all blacks gtfoh
There's no doubt he will get a large settlement.
Agreed, but that's probably the only personal positive affirmation he's had in a while.
He got a hug too jk lmao
This man was sentenced to 25 YEARS for posession of meth. A POSESSION CHARGE!! Not just the dirty cop, but the justice system is also disgusting.
25 years in jail bc somebody has a thing they don't like - is unacceptable on its own. That's waay too fkn long. Idc what thing it is they possessed
Black folks get 25 years, white folks go to rehab
Some murders get less than that.
@@reallueI agree. Possession in itself shouldn't even be a charge.
I’ve seen people who are murderers and child molesters get less time than that
That judge is a man. He showed humility and mercy. May God bless them both
Kudos to the judge.
Now punish the cop. Put him in an orange suit.
Falsifying and official document
He is charged with murder in another case!
Very positive and powerful move on the judges part
@@retroredo9850 I think he was actually convicted, I could be wrong though
put him in jail and his pension should go towards da victom not us taxpayers should have to pay for curropect cop's
🌱Ethics and humility are
priceless!!⚘️
And the cop or ex cop who lied needs to do the same amount of time that he was convicted of
No. 10 times the amount.
Plus 5 years
Cops don't prosecute.
No. Life in prison. NO PAROLE. I'm a former cop.
@@wpistol that's exactly what he's facing for the fenoly murder he's charged with
Damn, I've never seen a judge come out from behind the bench, let alone to give someone a hug. We need a bunch of judges like this.
Shows he deserves the title, Your Honor!
Yes! Much respect to his brother. That judge knows that his people are not treated right.
These are type of judges Maga wants to get rid of! The ones fairly correct a wrong injustice and apologize sincerely for it. 🙏🏾
@@NaturalJoy50 You are WRONG or a liar !!! You are just as bad as that Crooked cop
Yup and he was a Latino Judge, ain’t no other race better than the Latino race black or white, the Latino race has it all from food to family!!
Real respect to the judge it takes balls to own up to a mistake you didn’t cause
Lying cops should NOT BE COPS!!!
Then soldiers would have to be cops.
He lost his job. Ex cop
This is what they are taught and instructed to do and get the ok when it happens which is everyday
Cops who lie, at minimum, should serve the sentence that was handed to the person wrongfully convicted
Now that would be true justice
Double the sentence!! Any politician or police office or judge or government attorney who breaks law MUST GET DOUBLE THE SENTENCE!!
Why?? Because they KNOW the law and are responsible for upholding the law!! They must be held to a higher standard and that will reduce a little of the corruption!!
@@eastbee103 I completely agree with you on that
And some
@@eastbee103💯
There are more corrupt cop's than you think
Naw, not more than I think.
We know
EXACTLY HES JUST 1 PERSON
Well actually my belief is that there are more corrupt cops that aren't reported. Like nearly any profession of respected authority, they protect their own. Dr.s, lawyers, car salesman, politicians, the military,etc.....all gather the wagons when any one of them is scrutinized.....and everyone knows that that's how it's done.....everyvday.
I'm a law enforcement officer . It doesn't matter if I don't know any laws . I make them up as I go !!
Judge sounding like he was holding back tears, and keeping the interaction brief so he didn’t become too emotional. cuts right to the heart.
There should be a mandatory life sentence for any cop intentionally causing the lose of freedom to a know innocent person...
That’s too much like right
Phew that life sentence is heavy i but I can’t say I don’t agree,
That's so true. It happens more than people know unfortunately. I'm living that life. My son was given a life sentence at the age of 21 years old for crooked cops lies. I couldn't afford 200 grand for an attorney so they said he's an award of the Srate. It's been over 13 years now and he can't get any judges to review his appeals. I'm at a loss but this gives me hope. I pray for a miracle for my son. Cops have been getting away with these evil deeds for centuries and hopefully just hopefully my son will be set free before l die.
@Sinatra LILES I wish that to come true asap my dear...
@@THOF4RUclips
Right? A life sentence for a lie is harsh - but when that "little lie" can have devastating effects (because of the lie being in court to determine a person's innocence/ guilt) ;
Like taking away an innocent person's freedom (for life)/ keep them from having a successful career after serving a wrongful conviction sentence/ destroy their marriage and break up their family in general/ or even put an innocent person on death row.....
So all things considered .... when a cop lies to knowingly convict an innocent person.... that cop is getting off lightly with a life sentence (especially considering its likely not just a single occurrence but a habitual occurrence by officers who do that - with varying degrees of severity of punishments those wrongfully convicted .... most of which never are able to fully recover from the effects of the wrongful conviction)...
All Judges 👨⚖️ should be this way!!
Judges should be that way BEFORE the an exonerated person is freed not after it hits the public. Unfortunately, judges work with the prosecutors to make this shit happen. In trials judges often rule in favor of the State. Very often.
Wow! That's the first time I've ever seen a judge show empathy to that degree. Shout-out to him for being a real man👏🏾
Most shocking was when the Judge who sentenced Amber Guyger, gave her a hug and a bible.
You’ve never seen “caught in Providence” have you?
@@MacBobby1408 What is that? Is that something seen on RUclips?
@@chrissysolorio3565the power of the holy spirit that came through the victim's brother touched the judge's spirit.
Black judge/ Black victim the judge knows the pain😢
I've never seen a judge do that before. With all the hate and bigotry in our country right now, it's heart warming to see humanity here.
Amazing we need more judges like him. Who have a heart caring and compassionate.
Wow sexy judge. That's my husband. I'm calling it. Gawd I love powerful men who heal. I know it's shallow. I'm sorry that is one handsome judge. Where's his court room. He be pressing charges on me 😂😂😂 Ummmh BRAIDED 😂😂
Yeah we need more black ones
This judge is what we need more of. He personally did nothing wrong yet made a blanket apology on behalf of the broken system.
You are absolutely 💯 percent correct absolutely 💯 👍🙏🏽.
We need more judges like this that actually care about justice
That is a judge and a man of humbleness for the opportunity to show he's part in the injustice .
These are the people Americans need in office
Yes, on both sides of the isle
This is real humanity. It doesn’t fix anything, but it helps. Accountability!
Very true. Some closure too
In reality, the judge did squat for the innocent man.
@@blueshoulddonoharm well what can he do? If he wants compensation he'd have to start a new case and sue. All the judge in this instance can do is rule one way or the other.
💯
@@HelloThere.....judge can put a warrant out on that officer who lied under oath it is called perjury!
Thats a stand up respectable judge.!
why would the judge be apologizing for the lying cop
Cop needs to be in prison. Simple as that
A lot of cops need to be imprisoned for lying and abusing power and it takes a big big mistake for them to actually get any type of consequences
Wow! A living, breathing, caring, human judge. This guy should be compensated in some way.
Every way anyway ❤️😄
He will sue
No he shouldn’t because that’s how humans are supposed to act …
@@Blickymouse4I’m pretty sure they meant the wrongfully convicted guy, lol I don’t think they wanted a “good job on being nice” end-of-year bonus written out to the judge 😂
@@grayskindablue that’s what they said tho.. they wrote a lot more than you explained 😂😂 can’t speak for everyone
We need more judges like this.. this has happened to me personally! I was facing 10 years because of a cops lied, false charges and prosecutors failure to provide the body cam!!
❤🙏🏾
Much love and respect to this judge! This is what u call a real man of honor! This is what you call patriotic, not that racist hateful shit.
This❤. Ty for saying this
💯💯💯
In Russia, on the mop of all ... Americans, I'll come for you
They probably related.🤪
Lol…. this has nothing to do with Patriotism.
One apology doesn’t cover for the wrong doing. Feel sad for that man nevertheless 😢
"THE TOUCH OF THE MASTER'S HAND."
Noble men of HONOR,
Thanks for the sincere love and respect. ❤
That judge seems like a human with heart respect to him
That sweet judge made that man cry with his sincere apology and offer to help him.
I HAVE NEVER SEEN A JUDGE HUMBLENESS IN A COURT ROOM APOLOGIZING TO A PERSON. HE'S A GOOD MAN.
Incredible. That will start the healing for real.
Rare judge. Very rare.
You can tell he prolly grew up around these situations and understands more on a personal level.
He's a black man 1st and has probably seen his share of dirty cops, DAs and other judges.
I hope the state pays him for their mistake. When you go prison you lose everything. Even though the cop lied, it's the system's fault. Pay the man.
It would be karma if the lying cop would go in front of this judge.
You do realize that it's the tax payers that pay him for being wrongfully convicted.
It's the citizens that hire or rather keep the justice system afloat, regardless of how criminal the leadership is.
Government is just another euphemism for a large body of humans .
Country, city, community, neighbors.
They're all euphemisms for us.
The lying cops are in place because if they told the truth, no one would ever be convicted.
They have no authority over us. Except the authority we allow.
This is Earth. What other human has the authority to tell you when, where and how...? Not one.
It's a body of men, under the guise of threat, or pain.
Oh he’s gonna get paid hard part is over
That touched that defendant's heart. 💪🏾
Bless this judge to have the courage, compassion and integrity to hug a man wrongly accused!!!❤
I love what this judge did!! Not to mention that he and the exonerated man are dressed the same. I'm sure they had no idea, but it was pretty cool. ❤
Thank you judge for making it happen!
we need more judges like him 😢
All state & federal employees should be honest in there duty 🙄 period.
You mean the one who wrongfully convict people
@@demalem3671 no the ones who admit fault and apologize for their mistakes.
Judge tried to cover their asses and melt a massive lawsuit but its not gonna work, now the tax payers are gonna cut the fat check.
I haven't seen a white judge do that yet they don't care I'm glad this black judge do
Real sh!+. This judge deserves to be on the Supreme Court.
he needs to sue the living crap out of them
Definitely
For real. A handshake and a half assed apology ain't gonna cut it
Some states you can’t
Go to jail for just as long as the person accused, along with being sued and fired
Exactly
That judge has alot of class and very respectful to come off the bench like that it was very sincere
Was raised properly
It was all for the camera
Send the lying cop to serve prison time
I agree I'm going through the same in my son case they wrongly trying to convict him discrimination bad in pensalvania
@@arihanamyrie2240 I really hope that if he didn't do it, they see that and he gets compensated. However, don’t assume things are due to discrimination, if there's real evidence of that that you can show, take it to a reliable news source.
So you're saying abolish the police because they're all liers
I appreciate this judge beyond words! It's not easy to apologize for someone else's life being put on the line but I give this judge so much respect for personally trying to apologize to this man . How many times do we have to watch these video's of lying cop's destroying people's lives before we make some major changes in our system! When will the CRAZY STOP!!!
I wish other judges could take note of HOW he apologized. He said, "I'm so sorry this happened to you." It is okay to say sorry, even if you weren't personally responsible. I think some judges might be hesitant to do what this judge did, due to being worried that it might appear as though it WAS their fault, even in the slightest way.
But if they could use those words, "I'm sorry this happened to you" which is a perfectly good way for them to show that they care, without worrying they will look bad. Judges are people too. If I was a judge, I would feel so bad for that man and simultaneously feel awful when thinking that someone (even that man himself) might even have the smallest perception that I could've done such a thing to him.
Now here is a real judge not to many would do that.
He only did it because he had to do it to save face. Hopefully he wasn't the judge that presided over the case but if he was then he's just as bad as the cop who lied. 🤷🏾♀️
@@trwesq1 🤔Wait… he “had” to? Save Face?
@@trwesq1LMAO, seriously...
@@souldigspeaks4331 yep!!! There is a lawsuit in Harris County where all the Republicans are suing to basically get the election results overturned. prior to that there was a lawsuit about bail reform. The last thing these judges want is bad publicity especially when it's the people who can fight to keep them in office. Judges and prosecutors work as a unit. This is all over the country. The only time they don't is when the sh!t hits the fan. I'm willing to bet when you look at this officer he had issues but they were ignored. Unless there is an independent investigation about this judge (or the judge that presided over the case) saying they were not at fault...this judge gets no credit. Very rare do you have a judge that call balls and strikes. I'm thinking the judge over this case was an issue too. Hell all he did was shake this man's hand and apologize. How many men get that when the case is overturned??? All of them. What did the judge do to help the fight? I give credit to the defense attorney who kept fighting. 💯
😂
That's the kind of justice we need to see when they get it wrong
Keep the damn hug, gimme monay!!!!
You gotta be white! In my Malcom voice
@@Mrgrumpypants84The respect by the judge doesn’t stop the man from submitting a civil suit for damages. This isn’t a civil court, judge did a good thing. Getting arrested and convicted is dehumanizing when you weren’t involved. Judge reversed the decision and tried to give the man back some of his power.
Now that cop needs to go to prison for not less than 10 years! To show others what not to do!!!
And the cop should be brought up ok charges in front of the SAME Judge!!!
We need more judges like this; the kind who care about citizens. Officers shouldn't be allowed to lie in their jobs, WAY too easy for them to take advantage of that or end up messing up someone's life with erroneous convictions.
Finally good to see this decency
That was the nicest thing I have ever seen a judge do to someone innocent.
That's a real man. Once injustice has been realized you hopefully try to make amends
That Judge is an amazing human being!❤️❤️❤️
He should be the norm. What he did was his job. Responsible stuff.
That's a REAL judge and he was not judgemental. Salute
Loved seeing this! I salute this judge with all my respect!
The law should be....If a cop lies to put a man in jail and its found out, then that cop should serve the time that man was supposed to serve.
I guarantee the lies and corruption will stop.
Absolutely agree. Lying cops should get the max penalty for the crime they are trying to pin on someone. Hopefully this cop gets found guilty for the felony murder and other charges and is never released
@@sudsey6713 The problem is that lying cops generate revenue for the city. When you have top officials generating 250k plus a year in those departments, they will make every attempt to justify corrupt cop behavior for the sake of their salaries. Sad, but true!
Straight ⬆️
A cop or anyone else who lies to get someone put away!!!
The prosecutors who suppress evidence should have to serve that time alongside the cops
That poor man. I hope he tells his story to the whole world.
Go Get paid.
He and the judge are literally brothers.
I can see this being on Netflix one day
Idk why I teared up from this, that was absolutely beautiful and I can only imagine what both were thinking and feeling in that moment ❤
Beautiful is exactly what I was thinking. That judge cares.
@@yommmrr yes he does ❤️
Truly honest good human being
The cop should have to serve the sentence for lying
He needed more than the Judge to apologize, all the cops that was involved should spend some time in jail like they made him do and not be able to ever get a job in law enforcement again 👎🏾👎🏾👎🏾👎🏾👎🏾
Rare to see a judge, actually apologize for the wrong doing of the justice system. There needs to be more judge's like this one. Good to see. Take notes judge's!!!
Still a lot of good people power or not!!
Now, tell me, you bury that fake officer somewhere in the jail for the rest of his sorry life? A life for a life. So glad they found the truth of the matter out.
I wish more judges were like this. This is the best justice I've ever seen. Normally the cops, the district attorney the sheriffs and the judges are all in it together and it's just a big game. This is a good judge.
We need more Judges like this. Police men file false reports all the time. Once they are caught doing so, their division covers it up. That should be an automatic prison sentence for all participants.
You are absolutely right, they don't care about destroying people's lives and families, it is so sad
Unfortunately this story is few and far between because the fact of the matter is and this is true that they are all in bed together so therefore to save face they rather see an innocent person rot in prison than to have to admit that they are wrong and that the cop lied because cops lie all the time! I come from a family of cops! So I have first-hand experience so I know what I'm talking about! A cousin of mine made detective fairly quick in his career. He went undercover as a drug informant lied through his teeth he sent many people innocent people to present! But because most of them could not afford an attorney they had a court appointed attorney. Years later they find out that my cousin lied under oath. Because some family whose son was facing life had enough money to hire a good lawyer! Then it was found out that he had lied on all of his reports for over 10 years
It's the same in Western Australia. Corrupt pigs making shit up. The people have had a gut full and are starting to fight back.

Truly
True..I often wonder how these officers could be at peace knowing their lies put an innocent person away.
The cop is charged with felony murder and other crimes. There are NUMEROUS convictions overturned bc the cop lied and got many innocent people locked up
This one is a truly human judge 👏
Man, that judge is humble and strong all at once. That takes a real man to shake hands and apologize for any wrong doing. We need more elected officials like this judge
When you have a genuine black man of empathy in a position like that as a judge oh, that is nothing short of TRUE LEADERSHIP
Never in my life imagined this. Y’all remember the female judge that recognized a guy from like middle or elementary that she was trying and asked him where he grew up. He broke down instantly. Whether innocent or you’ve done wrong nobody was born a bad person and we all deserve an apology when done wrong
I remember and I couldn't agree more!
So true!!
Such a wonderful video clip of true humanity and TRUE justice in a corrupt system. Thank you judge for standing up for the common man.
Wow never seen this before a judge apologize to a wrong convicted man based on lies from a police officer, this was kindness and it should be more judges like this one.
Woooow never seen a judge come down and apologize and shake hands. That man needs a raise.
Jail isn't easy for anyone, this man has every right to sue the county for pain and suffering.
Finally we see a real definition of a Judge. Specially admitting and showing that there can be real justice in the system.🙌🏾💯💯💯
Never seen a judge say sorry and even more so walk down to shake/hug someone and say sorry. WOW, he has my respect.
I was really touched. What a judge and man and human being. I truly hope the cop is held accountable, but unfortunately history tells me it won't happen.
Wow. That's a humble man capable of saying sorry I was wrong. More of him please.
This was wholesome. I felt that hug.
When somebody in a true position of power- like judge or government official- not only apologizes on behalf of the corrupt, but shows true compassion & also offers any way that he can help, it gives me hope that one day our Justice System will eventually work as intended.
But it never will because money rules the world. Within the system theres so much corruption..the only solution is destruction.
For the love of God why can't all judges be like him!!! ❤ first time I've ever seen a judge with compassion
That judge is very admirable. It touches my heart that there are actually good people in the judicial system! I had completely lost faith until I saw this video.
What an inspiration all judges should be like him
these are people that need to be in higher positions, ones that can apologize when they know they were wrong.
