No amount of money can ever compensate for this. They literally lost half their life.
Exactly. Even all that money that they get awarded is nothing compared to losing your youth, to things you could have done but were taken away the chance to do. That’s just sad, really.
Yes, it cannot compensate, but surely it's better than getting nothing at all...
no doubt, but it will sure help
How are they supposed to blend into normal life after having spent decades in prison??? Especially those of them who were only in the beginning of their life journeys??? This is insanely wrong and unfair. Money can’t bring back the years that were stolen from them((
Losing your life? This aint no fast foward... Those people went to hell during that time... They had to live fucking prison y'all
That first guy hit me hard. They didn’t put the “wrong man” away, they put the wrong KID away. Damn shame. Bless him and his family
they paid a woman 12,5mil for 17 years and a man 2mil for 39 years of prison that's fucking unfair
He was 14!! Oh my.

@@kymberlycourage It has to do with the different jurisdictions, not race or gender.
@@markoklimpl249 That's life though people always feel bad more for women than men it's always been that way I'm shocked you still surprised by this...
My dad was wrongfully accused of touching a child and later she admitted her mom told her to say it. It ruined our lives and was too late by than, the damage was done. Charges were obviously dropped but my dad became an alcoholic and died afterwards from the embarrassment and shame from the disgusting label she attempted to put on him. He was a good man who worked with disabled children, and rescued animals in his free time than rehomed them. I miss him dearly.
im so sorry
I'm sorry for your loss😢
@@Twilight635 thank you 🙏
What a disgusting person. Your father was a good man and deserved a lot more than idiotic morons like that woman give him.
You deserve compensation on behalf of the poor man. Some people are simply so cruel in this society and it is always the kind ones who suffer from others wrongdoing.
I’m heartbroken for the first man. He was an innocent child put behind bars and lost the best years of his life!! If they didn’t punish the Detective and put him in prison for 27 years then that’s bullshit!!! I pray that man gets enough money to live comfortably for the rest of his life!!!♥️
We should be heartbroken for them all
Yes 😢 Juliefreds
@@mrsandmom5947 I agree with you it was just that the first one really upset me more than the rest. They are all terribly sad and they make me wish I was in a better position to help them myself. Thank you for your comment and I understand what you’re saying. Have a great weekend.
the detective has done this with multiple other ppl, all the settlement cases that have been going on because of this detective total over 100million$ of compensation, but sadly the detective cant be charged for anything cuz its too long ago, statute of limitations protect him from getting charged
Remember this name: Louis N. Scarcella as a name covered in shame for ruining the lives of innocent people and their families. God is dealing with him.
I can’t think of anything worse than been accused and punished for something you didn’t do.
Almost never happens, these are extremely rare.
Being the family of the victim and finding out that not only has an innocent person been convicted, the real culprit is free and will never be caught.
@@samsaxena6659 Yes, but happens and they destroy lives.
And literally no one believes you no matter what you say. Probably one of the worst feelings in the world
Just like our Savior...who was innocent. These stories break my heart. I seriously pray for these men that God can help them to move forward and for healing. I cannot imagine 😢 💔.
Imagine taking your kid for a happy meal and then missing her whole childhood because someone blamed you for murder

Yep, the most corrupt precinct in Brooklyn, the 75th, put me in prison intentionally to put pressure on my brother. They knew that putting his little brother in jail for a murder he didn't commit would break him. It took me 14 months to get out and 10 years to sue. But trust me, I know those tears
You did it bro
The fact that the first man THANKED the judge and respectfully called her your honour is just crazy. The judge looked so proud of herself when he held her hands, UNBELIEVABLE.
You are aware, that it is a different judge than the first time, yes?
Anyone who says that "You shouldn't be worried if you've got nothing to hide" simply don't know how the justice system works. NEVER say anything to the Police. Always ask for a lawyer.
Yup, and do this EVEN IF you are yourself a lawyer. DON'T SPEAK, that might sound counter intuitive to not speak for an innocent man, but this is the most clever thing you can do, don't speak and just ask for your lawyer.
Tell me about it , my ex got a Final restraining order against me with a bunch of lies .. later he drop it .. since we separated .. he is been trying to get restraining orders but I lawyer myself up every time .I got so much to lose with one of those on my record. ( he uses trying to get custody of my kids)
Justice system ? It's a police state system.
True. I have seen many videos of people being questioned by police without a lawyer being present. I learned every time a cop asks something,the smart answer should be " Lawyer".
@@kathyramos2924 So sorry to hear that. I wish you all the best.
1 million compensation for 39 years of being wrongfully imprisoned and losing possibly 50% of your life! Absolutely disgusting! There are probably so many people who have died in prison for crimes they haven’t committed. Anybody who wrongfully presents a case as a witness and is proven of such should be doing a life in prison.
Totally agree, should be 1 million for every year wrongly served!
Agreed. Each time they stated the compensation the person got my reply was, "not enough". There is nothing that will bring back those 39 years, but suing the city, state or government for an amount that would take care of you for the rest of your life is what they should get.
by that point it should be enough to take away worries about money for the rest of your life apparently this came across wrong ik it wasn't a lot of money that's what i was saying im saying by the point where your in jail that long the amount of money you should get should be enough to take away any money related worries for the rest of your life
I know stories where people almost didn't get anything,or some change money,like 50 or 100k,for being in prison for over 20 years,wrongfully of course.
You can probably make 1 million in 10 years by working a regular job. Its so disappointing
And that's why I oppose death penalty, not because I care about actual criminals, but because I know Justice is not perfect and will occasionally condemn innocents.
I agree with you on that one 👍
Das ist einer der Gründe, warum ich froh bin, dass wir in Deutschland keine Todesstrafe haben
Yes this imagine how many poor innocent souls lost Geir lives,it's wrong!!
That detective is DIRTY AF. He should be fired. Was he fired?! SCARCELLA YOU ARE A CRIMINAL.
scarcella is na fricken 🐷🐷🐷🐷🐷🐷
How does it take someone 40 years to finally come forward to say that you falsely testified and almost sent a man to his death because of it? My guilt would have eaten me alive.
Same. But I expect most people probably never come forward at all. Louis scar-whatever falsely testified dozens of times and now he's enjoying a pampered retirement. I'm sure he will never apologize or admit wrongdoing.
You have to have a conscience to feel that guilt though, I don't know if people who falsely testify have much of one sadly.
I bet you that fear of death would cause someone to wait 40 years to admit they falsely testified. I am not saying that this is the case but perhaps since the witness was already threatened with death.
@@jonagreen7323 I mean he was a kid when he testified, he was probably shit scared of the detectives who forced him to testify. Saying he didn't have a conscience is a bit harsh.
Maybe because they get older and carrying that burden is no longer worth it. I can also imagine the consequences of lying under oath being one of the things they fear.
This is why even if you aren’t guilty ALWAYS ask for a lawyer. There are so many detectives that will convict people wrongfully just to close a case. My heart aches for these people
Same here! America!?
@@dfloyd2279 on behalf of shit - 'MARS ' who cares. Do you people have heart ?
That's the only thing you say "lawyer please".
detectives can't convict anyone
Thats why i fight for you albuquerque
Every single moment made me cry. I cannot even begin to fathom the injustice they have endured. And what crushes me, is so many more, are still just sitting in prison, lives slipping through their fingers, accused of crimes they didn’t commit. I wish that the justice system, was infallible, but how can it be. It sucks.
Hi
Hi 👋
This is very rare, so I would be surprised if the falsehood is one in 100 thousand
The most tears I've ever shed watching any stories .. ever. Wish you all the best...
Imagine being 14 years old and arrested without any proof then having to serve 27 years in prison for something you did not do. That's 27 years lost. I feel so sorry for that man! I wish him the best!
It's horrible.... luckily the first guy got out after 16, and 11 on parole. Hope he's getting a huge ass settlement.
he missed his whole childhood :(
His whole life is lost
Money does not buy ur freedom. Idc how much money they give me. Being convicted for something u didn’t do is BS and being behind them cells is miserable
I feel so bad for him, he lost his childhood
My Dad was pressurised by the police to give a false testimony against someone else. When he refused they arrested him instead. He spent 5 years in prison. Probably he would never come out as a normal citizen but since he was a Lawyer himself, he was finally able to fight his own case and prove innocence. Love u Dad ❤️
That’s incredible, your dad is amazing
Your dad is awesome. How is he doing?
@@burger8248 Thankfully he is still working as a Lawyer as nothing was there to prove him guilty. The police only used delay tactics to keep him in prison.
@@transsnack @burger Thankfully he is still working as a Lawyer as nothing was there to prove him guilty. The police only used delay tactics to keep him in prison.
Sue those cops
Absolutely disgusting how can you take word by word from one witness; the justice system needs to prove witnesses are telling the truth. All these people were deprived from their whole life no amount of money will be able to suffice what they went through. Absolutely disgusting.
Sickening to think that 'the system' can be so horribly wrong and with such devastating consequences. 😠I truly hope that the victims get proper recourse. 🤞
Never knew a 12 year old's witness statement would be enough evidence to sentence someone for life. That's quite crazy and heartbreaking
Racists 70s police what do You expect
I’m not surprise because he’s black
Truely heartbreaking
This would not be enough in many other democratic countries.
The police should always investigate with the statement in case they did see someone who looks similar to the suspect
How can this evil detective live with himself knowing he’s putting innocent people away for life. Sick evil
He's probably dead and that's when they decided to go back on his convictions
The same way people like Donald Trump sleep at night: no conscience and an entitled attitude.
@@BirrDetonator1989 no he's actually alive. Just look Jim up. I mean did you hear how the first guy did a lawsuit against him? Can't really do that with a dead man
I think he's more stupid than evil, how can you get the wrong person twice being a detective?
@@EaZyGoiN12 they were pressured by the detective to witness and say that it was that guy . The detective is not dumb he manipulated everything and everyone and caused that poor guy to spend time in prison. He is evil fr
I am stunned and I am speechless that these people went through that. How????? They have a lot of lost time to make up for!🙏♥️
Breaks my heart everytime I watch things like this
The detective who put the first two people in jail wrongly, also had another 8 people serving life who have been exonerated, he retired in 1999 with no charges ever , a frightening reality to how many other poor souls who are now innocence and spending their life behind bars and this is just one “ detective “ truly unforgivable
Don’t forget his gold plated pension he is in receipt of
They didn’t talk about the compensation of the first guy
Do not worry my dear, he has the greatest and most powerful Judge ever to face and that is The Most High. He will wish that his existence never existed.
That Scarcella guy, was he maybe covering the deeds of gods know who?
@@petcaiibeckford6969 oh no. That’s only a belief and does nothing for the people who have been wrongfully imprisoned.
What pisses me off is that the people who actually did these crimes WERE STILL OUT THERE the whole time … this system is just .. oh dear lord
I mean, you guys have a jury... You all kinda set yourself up for failure lol.
@@RemindYourBack that doesn’t make sense ace
@@RemindYourBack what does your comment supposed to mean? doesnt make any sense lol.
@@catchdawabbit9324 You are just to stupid to understand that a FAIR trial doesn't involve jurys or the kind of real life TV you guys make of it.

Definitely if you compare wrongfully convictions to the rest of the world, it happens way less in Europe, how strange huh ?
@@catchdawabbit9324 So i suggest instead of protesting for yet another bullshit thing, go protest for something that actually matters.

My heart hurts for the man who spent over 4 decades in prison for NOTHING. He lost so many years, so many memories he couldn’t make. It’s just so sad and disgusting at the same time.
At that point if I’m not awarded millions of dollars per year and actually given it I would just kill myself because there’s no point in living after having those many years taken from you
He also had to endure death penalty, imagine waking up everyday knowing you are living to die soon because of a crime you didn’t commit.
@@olil9577 That man is quite strong, that’s for sure
He will get his chance in his next life hopefully
So agree. There is no way that should ever happen to anyone, but I want to let you know that at the civil level in family law, attorneys and courts are raking in the dough and the legal system is designed for their benefit, not the people, as they can charge people a bill for it, and the feds provide for prison time. They can put away parents for contempt for as long as they like and every time they get out they find a reason to put them back in again, for nothing, judges faking outrage to control the narrative as the court case has no recording of speech or conduct, a new judge cannot correct orders of another, either, so stupid, and they have an office allowed rex parte contact with the judge about cases and case issues, but they will make deliberate false statements to protect the court and prevent an appelate court from reviewing the case or hearing a trial which in my case would be heard by the judge whom I would be seeking to challenge, as she was raised to that higher court, she was utterly corrupt in her conduct, and they don't need to set a trial and you can't get a jury, and especially when a parent has been falsely accused of parental alienation or false accusations for restraining orders, which abusers are able to get for absolute garbage to create an impression with the public, and to gain the upper hand in the case and isolate the children from the protective parent so the protective parent then has to pay $90. / hour here for supervised visitation and these arrangements are in favour of an abusive parent and his attorney while the innocent, protective parents are trying to protect their children from abuse. Children's narratives are often dismissed, also by CPS, claiming the same false narratives, aligning their narratives with the courts. The police too, favouring the more powerful or lawyered up parent, and it is said that the children have been coached, but it is the abuser who makes this accusation and the innocent parent is raked through the coals and loses everything. And often contact. Often the abuser can afford an attorney and the protective parent can't. I have known mothers who have brain cancer who were not allowed out and were never allowed to see their children again and they died of brain cancer in jail without actual charges other than contempt of court. My ex deliberately abused our children more severely so that I would have to say something. He had already tried to carbon monoxide poison us in two homes as he didn't want to pay support after he undermined and threatened every opportunity I ever had and the children's lives and well being if I tried anything. So I had to wait until I thought they were old enough and he was leading another life and wouldn't care if we left and instead it unleashed everything, but he menaced all the time unexpectedly, alao, that I would never be able to prove it or what he did to pets, also making them disappear. He is sadistic. My children and I lost everything he wanted us to except each other, so far. I realized late in the case that I did have two recordings about the abuse I had recorded much earlier and didn't know or remember what I had said on them, or realize the relevancy due to forgetting what I had naively stated. They saved my kids because on the day of the trial for custody he and his attorney retracted their request so it became a non-trial. In the mean time orders had neen made that caused me to lose our house and our children's safe home. I just want every one to know that the whole system is corrupted and cruel and inept and the whole system needs a painful overhaul, mostly because predators are running the show and designing the system with the support of ignorant flying monkeys who benefit but don't realize they are dealing with high level narcissists, sociopaths and psychopaths who are educated, intelligent and designed the system in their favour, not for the people. The same people sit on all the boards and make money influencing the system that way too. It all adds up and it concentrates their power and control and often undeserved prestige.
All the “justice” officials who wrongly convicted people need to be convicted themselves, they need a taste of the misery they dealt.
USA.
True
They just wanted a fatter paycheck, anything to pay the bills and pur food on the table, even if it means ruining other people's lives
I agree, those so called detectives are a disgrace to the word itself
KARMA doesnt leave anyone. If u earn on bad ways, those money will eat you. If you take news of the people who forced such innocents to be convicts, u will see they are mostly miserable or dead
I'm literally in tears for all these innocent people
Came acroos this account and i'm happy to say that it is the best documentary based channel in KZhead..
The saddest part about all of this, is there are MANY more innocent people rotting behind bars just like these people and they will never be set free. Heartbreaking. I can’t think of much worse happening. Edit: Daniel’s story is horrible. 16 years old, best and threatened to confess by a detective. Sickening.
Yup, Brendan Dassey is one of them. Look it up!
What about those who have been put to death also.
@@deubie0211 like the youngest boy to be killed on drsth row? Innocent black kid, accused of murdering soms lil white girl. Whole town was racist so he got the electric chair. Even though there was no evidence he was even in the area. - George stinney
Many on death row. And sadly many who sat on the electric chair.
And I bet you people support cops.... I don't really care for cops. It's just a JOB, like any other job. You get paid for it.
Worst part about these wrongful convictions is that even when proven innocent, you know there's going to be WAY too many people who still believe them to be guilty, or just treat them like a ex-convict all the same. Wrongful convictions harm people's lives WELL beyond the years they spent behind bars, and they deserve so much more justice than they ever get.
Agreed, and lets not forget about those who ended up sentenced to death for crimes they never did and even had nothing to do with any crimes, can't imagine how they felt getting set free after their convictions being overturned, I don't think it's the easiest thing to leave Death Row as a free man/woman...
I felt bad for Lobotomy, the last video
It is not a victory when you are proven innocent and thusly freed when you have been after bars for many years. You have simply regained what is rightfully yours.
Yes
Even in the case someone has not been convicted, the fact you were accused will haunt you for life. There are cases in the United States where a person was held and released the next day, but their pictures were still all over the media and on the internet and the suspect would never be able to get a job again for life.
Can't even imagine the amount of frustration and helplessness they experienced throughout those decades, I'm surprised that they didn't lose hope throughout these years, also even if you were to give me a billion dollars, I wouldn't be willing to be sentenced to jail for decades.
I don’t know how people can live while an innocent person is in prison because they wrongfully testified against them
A 14 year old boy, spend 27 years trying to prove his innocent. Let those numbers add up. He spent almost 2/3rds of his life trying to prove he didn't do something. He's been fighting to prove his innocent for almost twice as long as he had existed at the time of his arrest. There is no way in hell that man has any idea how to lead a normal life. They ruined his life. And there's nothing they can do to make it up to him.
Absolutely nothing! This hurts so much knowing fully well that there are thousands of inmates who were wrongfully convicted.
And those 2/3rds were supposed to be the best years of his life
I honestly wanted to give him a hug watching that clip. He got beat into confessing at the age of 14. Who does that to a kid? He knew the kid didn't do it, so he used extreme force, beatings and threats to get a confession. When an insecure school bully joins the police force to become big boy cop.
It makes my blood boil honestly. Poor kid probably crying himself to sleep all those years while those horrible judges were probably laughing.
nation of freedom they say ....
39 years , that’s literally half a lifetime , no amount of money can make up for that . I’m in tears right now

I don't know how this detectives can sleep peacefully , knowingly assisting to convict an innocent person.
1 million for 49 years in jail and being put on death row while being innocent is an insult to that man. The state should offer him 100 million and this man should not have to file a lawsuit to get it.
Some people here did 30 years less and got 5M more i don't get it
Because he is black
That man should be given enough money to never work again in his life.
I guess the compensation payment must be depending on the colour of your skin too. I think that in itself is criminal too!
it depends on the state and local district. There should be a federal mandate for this. Considering in Tennessee you have to appeal to the governor for a pardon to receive the maximum $1 mill in compensation but people are so fixated with state rights that I doubt that will ever happen
Corrupt prosecutors and sloppy police work. This is terrifying because it could happen to anybody
And it's just wrong, any every one who convicts someone wrongfully should take their place once the truth is found out, more prevention must be done, we only get one life and innocent people have theirs wasted over racial issues, discrimination, blatant carelessness and pure error. It will never be okay.
Sloppy police work? No, Corrupt is a better description.
Certain states even if it's 100 percent proven afterwards you are innocent, if the proof wasn't brought forward during trial or first appeal than it never matters. I'm not sure theactual time line but it blows my mind that a corrupt DA or judge can literally keep an innocent person in prison for life with no legal repercussions at all
It did happen. It happened to me. 2 years incarcerated for nothing. I lost my business, my home, and my car and life. I was accused of something horrific and asked continuously for trial, rejected every single time. They finally dismissed the case and the judge told me I could go home now. I told him , " what home?" Your court system destroyed my entire life. The judicial system is so deranged and corrupt. My attorney and the Texas innocence project, got me released.
@@louisavondart9178 You’re probably right. Just giving them a small benefit of the doubt but I’m sure it’s mostly corruption. I have heard of many cases get overturned because of blatant misconduct and there’s a stipulation that the defendant cannot sue the state for wrongdoing. It’s insane
The judges responsible for these inhumane mistakes should be arrested for life, no exceptions.
getting punished for something you didn't do, and to get punished to such a degree is an absolute devastation of the highest order. the second man, he looked way too calm for what he had been through. I know personally I could never find peace with spending that many years in prison if i knew i was innocent.
They wrongly sentenced a woman to LIFE in prison without parole based on ONE testimony while most of the rapists walk free with dozens of testimonies and solid proof. I have no words.

nobody is innocent
So because the first guy looks like a good man that somehow makes it more so sad in comparison to the 8 other innocent people who lost sevral years of their lives wrongfully? I think every case shown here is equally sad, no one deserves to be locked up for a crime they didn't commit

I appreciate the idea of the government providing generous compensation to individuals who have been wrongfully accused and unjustly sentenced.

You can imagine what that 16yr old went through once he started his jail time. Outrageous
How can they expect this kid to come out as a well adjusted individual after this is beyond me
What of the 14 year old... Forget about him?
@@otapodoeseb1448 His is also so heartbreaking. To be so young but spend so many years of your life behind bars for something you didn’t do is unimaginable for me.
That man taking a breath outside! This is good news I like to see and hear. May God bless them all and I hope they can eventually forgive, as hanging onto injustice done towards you can be the worst prison you can be in.
These stories are heart rending, I truly could not begin to imagine spending many years even decades in prison, innocent and helpless..What I don't understand though is the "compensation" these poor souls get, it varies so very much and seems sometimes someone who has served a longer time gats less than a shorter term prisoner, very strange. My very very best wishes and a long and fruitful life to all those innocents who are finally set free.
I can't even imagine what these people, and so many others who were wrongfully imprisoned, have been through. Just imagine the mental pain and anguish of having decades of your life robbed and your freedom stripped away over a crime you didn't commit. It's so unfair. You can see the pain in their eyes. They can never get those years back. I don't think I would be strong enough to endure something like that
I was wrongfully imprisoned for less than a year and I am still living with severe PTSD. I won my trial not guilty in 30 mins. The judicial system needs a work over. Edit forgot to mention I was facing 2 life sentences. The prosecutor nor the police did any work and I was completely and totally innocent taken from my family and placed behind bars awaiting trial. They were offering me pleas like 22 years and shit. You can't imagine that choice to go to trial. You all will never understand.
Cool username 👍
How about the people wrongfully sentenced to death? At least these people got their freedom back with some minor economic compensation.
@@autodidact7127 sorry about your experience, I hope you and your family stay safe and get a better life that you deserve.....
You have no idea how corrupt the cops, prosecutors, and judges are. They are all in it together, they all conspire together. What di you have? A public defender who also works for the same government that all of them work for. Maybe one out of a 100 judges is a good, decent, honest, and not corrupt judge. It may be impossible for you to find that judge or may take you ten-twenty-thirty or 40 years to find that judge. The judges are told what to do by the prosecutor and the police and the political higher ups. To cover their butts. It is only through a lot of mass media news coverage that anybody can possibly have a chance. Or take it to federal court, the US attorney, and the FBI. You can always file a Writ of Habeus Corpus in a US district court. I bet you that in all these cases, and all others like them, that the corrupt cops that did what they did and the lying perjuring witnesses were never arrested, charged, or prosecuted. They never are. All a cover up.
Scarcella never faced any jail time for these terrible injustices, this is outrageous. He should have had to have spent at the least the total amount of jail time that those wrongfully convicted under his shoddy, shady tactics had to. Plus some more for being a corrupt detective. So wrong that nothing happened to him after destroying the lives of those convicted and their friends and families.
Def. should of been in prison for the rest of his miserable life, that's for sure.
@@ayasinx8797 how come he is not? Nobody out there looking for justice? How come always commenters talk sense, but when it comes to actually having common sense in the justice system there isnt any?

@Hold Your Breath Because the "good cops", especially in a city as corrupt as New York will never turn on one of their "brothers." The NYPD used to be a gang of their own. Extortion, lies, sexual assault, stealing, the NYPD was no better than the mafia until body cameras forced to clean up their act.
You serious he never faced any repercussions for his actions, that's disgusting!
@@zada4a there’s really nothing we can but to vote for people who can do something about it and make a change in the system.
This is so heartbreaking 💔 🤧 how i wish i could hug you'll and help you with everything my heart breaks for those innocent people 🥺🙏
My dad was almost falsely arrested on his way home from work. He was french and worked as a roofer so his skin looked more Hispanic from working in the sun all day and when he had a mustache. Although he spoke with a french Canadian accent. The police pulled him over and out of his truck and forced him to the ground and were going to cuff him or did. Thank goodness his brother and other guys he worked with were deiving behind him and pilled over and seen this happening. They told the cops he was working all day and they had the wrong guy. Apparently the cops thought he matched to description of a Hispanic male that had raped someone. After my dad showed his ID and people could back up his story they let him leave. If the guys from work were not behind him on the drive home he would probably went to prison. The funny part is if you heard my dad open his mouth and speak you could for sure tell he was not hispanic. French as could be lol. It is so easy to just be in the wrong place especially back then.
What makes me the most sick is that those responsible for these innocent people getting convicted face no consequences.
RIGHT!!! they should do time as well for falsely accusing someone of something so horrible
The wrongly convicted should track them down and avenged for what they did to their lives.
Yes especially those dirty cops they should lose their badge.
@@Favi-uw7ip Yes
@@Favi-uw7ip Most definitely. An more so in this age. We can do so much more, all cases should be reviewed fully over many year's, or till truly proven guilty. Despicable world we live on.
The fact that detectives/police care more about making it seem to the public that they've caught the right person rather than actually catching the right person is just insane
It’s is something that happens in every state in US or some more than others?
I commented the same thing. Like they have a quota to fill. You'd want to catch the person who did it.
@@fatimateresa19 every state, but obviously in certain states investigators, judges, and juries are more likely to have racial biases. But I’d say it is a problem in every state just with varying levels of severity
And that's why we have the BAU they actually know what to look for when it comes to the guilty look, you can't hide body language from them they look for that as evidence as well as proving if you did it or not and if you say you did the crime or confessed to it and they know you didn't do it they'll be like no you didn't your free to go and actually work to catch the real killer
@@fatimateresa19 every state, you can take an example here in Brazil Like, tons of police men tries to catch someone innocent (on purpose btw), and let’s just say that most of the time they try to make the person “admit” their crimes (that they didn’t do it) by pressure, physical and verbal abuse (and there’s moments that they, the police, just get someone and go to a corner and beat them up)
"lets go shop" you go girl.
Heartbreaking but beautiful bittersweet...man...my lifes been ruined by false crap...i can't imagine how they feel. One guy sure was stoic...😮 the purple bag one.
This needs to be stopped. Imagine wasting most of someone's life over a mistake or cruelty. Officers please double-check ur evidence on every case, even a local hot dog stand theif. Please, we beg of you.

@@cr7fannboiironaldo180 haha that’s funny, no officer will see this comment, and if they did, they wouldn’t gaf if they were putting innocent people away on purpose in the first place
@@angrynooblets34 bruh u don't know and not every officer does it on purpose.
The police could, but that's not really their main job. Crime scene investigators are the main group that does the job for finding evidence and collecting them. The most common reason an innocent gets wrongfully convicted is by false witness, evidence, and offical misconduct. You don't really rely everything on a mere police officer.
How did it take them over 15 years to prove that the girl was hours away from the crime. That’s beyond me.
Ignorance
16 years of her life already wasted 🤦♀
It's beyond me that "witnesses" can take 39 years to admit that they were coerced or pressured to give a false testimony. I'm sure plenty never admit at all and just knowingly and willingly let innocent people die in prison. People suck so much.
Because they are paid to make convictions, not find the truth.
People will lie their arse off so they don't get in trouble. Most humans do not care
Holy crap this video hit me in all the feels
Oh, God, this is so very heart breaking. To be incarcerated for decades for a crime they did not commit. Cant imagine what goes on in these poor people's minds.can any amount of money compensate one for the horrible years in jail for a crime not committed by them

@@enkandescent1591 AMEN The King of all kings, Lord of lords
I cannot imagine what being in jail for a crime you didn't commit is like, but doing 40 years because the police decided you were the one they were going to arrest, instead of doing the job they are paid quite handsomely to do, the cops that put these people in jail should learn how doing that much time feels like, they are the true criminals.
For real...
In my country, this case never happen. Its not because our cops are very good than any cops in the world, its because our citizens always giving a hands to help.
I have been in jail for a crime I didn't commit. When I saw the cop on the street, if I had a gun I would have killed him
All those cops should be arrested and the detective as well
"Paid quite handsomely" lol good one 💀
That right there is why I am against the death penalty.
That detective should be put in jail
One of my biggest fears as a Police Investigator was sending an innocent person to prison. Luckily, I worked most of those years as an Undercover Narcotics Officer, so I personally witnessed every crime I charged defendants with.
Your have a duty to raise awareness btween your fellow derectives on this matter.

Imagine what it must be like having to spend years in prison as an innocent person..... It must be truly heart- and soul breaking. Even worse to think of innocent lives who received Capital punishment and are no longer with us. It doesn't bare thinking about! I do so hope and wish that those now free, innocent people, find their way in this world and that each has been financially compensated in a big way!
This had me in tears! Their lives were stolen, money can’t buy the years back.
39 years in prison as an innocent! One of the most brutal things I ever saw!

Guilty until proven innocent.
@@demarioharris1233 yeah I noticed that too.. and the first guy.. 22 years.. he got total 8mil and something while the woman that spent 17 years.. 12 mil.. even when men get more screwed up by the system, women still get more benefits.. I am sure the last woman, Lobato will get over 10 mil for 16 years in jail ridiculous.. Ricky Jackson should have gotten at least 20mil not just for "lost income" but compensation for all that bs
I literally cried through the whole video. I couldn’t even fathom what it would be like wrongfully sitting in someone else’s position.
Me too even as a grown man.
I'm quite sure that there are many more innocent people rotting in prison. Every case should be reviewed once per year. Modern science can disprove so many false convictions and must be used to protect the innocent.
I will never understand why people want the death penalty back. Everytime I see a video about a murderer or a pedo, there is most likely thousands of people saying they should bring it back.🤦

Death penalty
@@CoCo-yv3hl death penalty should only be for people who work as officials for gov and get corrupted. This should scare them enough to never get corrupted
What these ppl had to go through is unimaginable. The sheer terror of knowing you didn’t do it and ppl wouldn’t believe you or you simply couldn’t prove it. This is so horrible.
And the fact that the real criminal didn't get punished
Shawshank Redemption
The fact that someone got wrongfully accused isn’t the horrible part of it. Because sadly mistakes are unavoidable and happen all the time. However, that fact that someone got accused of a crime he didn’t commit simply because the detective felt like it is disgusting and a horrible abuse of power.
the worst part is having to live with the monsters who actually were guilty of murder and rape .
Sometimes false convictions are not mistakes. In some cases the person is a political pawn with a destroyed life. This life is seen as unimportant. Mistakes are forgivable. Cases where we dine as you suffer in pain and abject humiliation and degradation are deplorable, un fathomable and disgusting.
This just goes to show how many dirty cops we have. 😥😡
This is one reason why when you're picked up for arrest. Lawyer quick.
I feel bad for all of them and especially for Ricky Jackson. 39 years is a VERY long time and he deserved so much more money although money isn't enough to pay for his wasted time. I hope these people will still have the light they had before they entered jail and enjoy their remaining life.
Seriously that pissed me off!!
RIGHT? Only 3 million for 40 years in prison? $500,000 per year is what compensation should be
To be honest i dont care about the light. I wouldnt blame them if they kill the people who did that to them.
Yeah, I agree money isn‘t enough to pay for stuff like this, but can we agree that the amount of money these people got was really weird, like it wasn‘t proportional to the time they spent in prison. What is the measure for it? Maybe someone else can tell me? I‘m not from the US so I‘m not familliar with the system.
What about the guy that had 55 years
i was once accused of raping 5 girls in my class , i was 15 at that time and i had to serve 6 years to life in prison . the girls who accused me confessed and said they falsely accused me because they didn’t like how i looked . im 28 now with a family but it still haunts me till this day that someone is this cruel to take years of someones life over the dumbest thing .
That's the worst bro 💔 which state?
I'm sorry you had to go through that. GOD bless you. I would sue those mean b------
Wow... That's just messed up. I hope you and your family sue the shit out of those girls.
I hope you sue the hell out of those girls and ruin their lives
6 years for rape? Thats harsh! Even worse that you are innocent! I hope they went to prison!
These are happy stories! God bless them!❤
Now, imagine the number inmates serving sentences for crimes they did not commit
Jackson got 40 years because that kid took 40 years to tell the truth. Thats brutal
He was only a kid for several years after the fact. That grown man didn't tell the truth for about 30 years.
@@normie2716 Still doesn't matter. The police that pressured a child to "testify" anyway should be held accountable.

This has always been one of my greatest fears. Going to prison for a crime you didn't commit. Not just because I'm going to be in a place I shouldn't be and my life is ruined, but also because that means whoever did do the crime, gets off completely free.
