An innocent man was convicted of crimes he absolutely did not commit. Now, his 15-year-old daughter and wife are left to pick up the pieces while he is torn away from them. It is devastating, infuriating, and proof that our so-called justice system is anything but just.

When the defense requested a mistrial—something that was beyond justified—the judge denied it without hesitation. The outcome was decided long before the trial even began.

Just as bad—two years of rulings, and not a single one in favor of the defense. In the end, the prosecution blatantly broke a rule they had spent the entire trial enforcing against the defense, and the judge allowed it.

This trial was a sham from the beginning. It started with a biased investigation and was led by an unethical prosecutor who did everything in her power to prevent crucial evidence from being presented by the defense. The judge?

They don’t care about the lives they destroy with wrongful convictions. They just want a conviction on their record, no matter the cost.

I’m so sorry you (we) have to fight for something as basic as healthcare. It’s infuriating that decisions like this put lives at risk instead of prioritizing care and dignity.

A felon AND a rapist.

I hope that's not the case as well.

Really NPR?? WHO CARES???!!
