I wonder if he is eligible for some type of monetary settlement since the judge (the state) made an error.

78% of people locked up in MD are black?
|ISeems like he got convicted off the strength of ******** testimonies from a cop with a agenda and a jailhouse snitch
can't even imagine the feeling of knowing that you about to do the rest of your life on the yard for some **** that you didn't do coupled with the fact that virtually nobody is gonna believe you're really innocent after you're convicted If you look at some of the stories of those who have been exonerated some of these dudes had football numbers on em for literally being at the wrong place at the wrong time due to lazy DA's and police officers simply looking for a conviction
Sad how little attention stuff like this gets both in the media and on here, I made a thread about the people who are compiling the stories of people like this and some of these dudes were talking like this is just business as usual

Glad he has finally been released. Hope is able to adjust to the way the world is now, and free himself from any hatred he may have, but that is obviously understandable. Of course there are many more political prisoners that still need to be released.
Just goes to show that there IS a system that is designed one way or another to hinder the black community, whether folks want to acknowledge that or not.

Correct me if Im wrong
I think the only instances where I've heard them getting money is in incorrect convictions because of DNA ...

Nah, if you live in one of 16 states with statutes guaranteeing that the exonerated get a settlement you have to be able to prove that you sat down for something you absolutely did not do. One way they can do that is through DNA another way is showing that your charges got dropped or you got a retrial and were found not guilty, just getting your **** overturned ain't enough tho.
So basically it's hard as hell to get paid even if you live in one of those 16 states, if you don't **** is even tougher
The Innocence Project said a few years back of the hundred something people they got off based on DNA only like 12 of them had got some type of reparation at that point

44 years...it's a shame you can do jail time like that, let you out early and act like they're doing you a favor, when you more than likely shouldn't have been in there in the first place. They also act like everything is supposed to be normal and cool now too Smh

They essentially took his life from him. No amount of money is worth that.

But people say I'm reaching when I say there is a system set up to hinder black people.... Glad to see the man free, I hope this doesn't dishearten him from doing public service for the black community and continuing the good fight....
