Forums - General - Texan declared innocent after 30 years in prison

Wow,a black man wrongfully convicted of rape in the American South? Who would've thought situaions like that of To Kill a Mockingbird actually happen? Good think those rednecks didn't lynch him.

Damn, only $2.4 million. That's really not a lot at all. He should've gotten $1 million for every year he spent in prison. $80.000/year is insulting, considering the abuse he endured.

"Police presented their pictures in a photo array to the victim. She picked out Massingill and Dupree. Her male companion, who also was robbed, did not pick out either man when showed the same photo lineup."

¬¬

I wouldn't be surprised if he actually rapes her now :P

But lol, can you imagine her face? Talk about eating crow.

I wonder what a juror would tell him if they ran into each other at a restaurant somewhere...

"Man I heard you were innocent, huh?....We cool though right?"

I got to thank the innocence project for doing such good work. Sometimes this kind of news makes me sad,seeing how America was so easy to throw black men in jail without even the slightest care for his human life.

What you said is racist. So white men can't be wrongfully convicted? It doesn't matter if this happened 30 years ago, because what would set him free would be a DNA test, and that has been available since the 80's.

You can't blame racism for him being locked up 30 years. Blame the american judicial system, which made him serve 30 years for just rape and robbery (truly excessive), and for taking so long to give him a DNA test.

Let me ask you this, why wouldn't you just say "men" instead of "black men"?
