Saving An Innocent Man from Death Row | Real Stories True Crime Documentary

- In 2014, filmmaker Jessica Villerius met death row inmate, Clinton Young, who had been convicted of a double homicide and became convinced of his innocence. Her documentary ‘Innocent on Death Row’ exposed the weakness of the whole case, proving the shootings could not possibly have taken place the way the prosecutor alleged. These and other new facts, including serious misconduct by the prosecution, led to Young’s execution being halted just 8 days before it was due to take place. He is granted a new trial and freed on given bail to await his new trial.
Clinton was 19 when he was imprisoned. He is now 38. After almost 20 years of solitary confinement, how do you adapt to life outside? In addition, the strict conditions of his bail prevent him from living in the same state as his family and even going to the supermarket across the road from his house. He’s terrified of making the slightest mistake and being sent back to prison. He’s free but not free.

It's fine hearted people like Renate and her team of course that make this world worth living.
Very well done, I'm thoroughly moved.
After the misconduct if the judge and prosecutors, his case should be dismissed with prejudice and the judge and prosecutors should be disbarred. They knew what they were doing.
Disbarred??????? How about imprisoned for the exact time that was served by the wrongfully convicted + financial restitution?
I agree with both of you 100%
And Compensation...but how do you repay 15 years 😮
The judge and prosecutor should be charged and they need to look into all cases they had with the judge and prosecutor
@@tommydenato8863Absolutely!!
Stay strong Clint. You've done well so far just remember so many people are watching your case now & support you. Be strong.

Did he been saved..srr I didn't watch till the end...👍
Please, let's not forget that an innocent man's life was taken and Clinton Young was an accessory. He deserves punishment but he just doesn't deserve the death penalty.
@@JSchaffer214 he got it goofy 🤣 you didn’t watch I guess
@@JSchaffer214 Most accessory convictions are dumb anyway. You can be with friends and have no idea they are about to kill someone then suddenly you are doing life in prison.
@@JackCraft-tm9hj yeah I agree that's why people need to pick friends very very wisely
Imagine what would have happened if these wonderful women hadn't stepped in and had the faith that nobody else had in him. Love and luck in everything you all do restored my faith in humanity.
They only did it cause there attracted to him
@@m0bnm0n3yright! They went and became lawyers all for the purpose of meeting a guy on death row in another country. If only my wife were that committed to her attraction to me. 🙄
@@m0bnm0n3y
Says the person behind the screen who doesn’t know when to use they’re, there and their
@@m0bnm0n3y OH get real. No one would go to those lengths over a simple attraction. It was proven by a matter of record. His case had many inconsistencies and misconduct by the D.A. Enough to overturn his sentence. They believed in him and I'm glad for the guy.
Can you imagine how many others failed to find their angels.
He's not innocent😂😂
@@jamardns77he is 18 and if he it’s bro got his time goofy
@@KaylobButcher-uv3pi bro wtf are u saying? Learn to speak... Goofy
@@jamardns77 bro was 18… he got out after how many year goofy so if he was a accessory to murder at most then he got well over him dumb goofy 🤣
That why I don't believe in the death penalty.
Poor guy…he’s traumatized everytime he hear the sirens. I always knew he was innocent and there was something fishy about David.
David Page was/is CREEPY AF . My jaw hit the floor when they got him on camera lying . Poor Clinton all those years just wasted . I pray his life is easy from here on out
That bald guy was creepy.
I'll admit, I was a little skeptical at the start. Wondering if those nice ladies were being conned. Until I closely watched the interview with David Page
Just because someone is too damn proud to admit that they are wrong someone's life gets ruined. You have to be very strong to last on condemned row. And pretty foul to let an innocent person die because you can't stand up for your actions.
What a lovely young man and a beautiful story 👌🏽 I’m only 36 minutes in but I’m excited for him and, thank you to everyone who helped this young man with his case 👏🏽🙏🏽❤️
❤❤😮😊😊😊
ITS WAS HIGHER POWER
WHO HELPED HIM .
He Dam lucky guy .
That’s the lawyer had his back .
You don’t have be a lawyer too represent someone in court .
I know too Dam well.
You turn someone in and they don’t even by you a soda .
I remember seeing his story and looking him up to see if he ever got out. What a relief that he finally got some justice.
Oh thank God ,I am from Texas and just now discovering Clintons story!
What a beautiful and inspiring story.. Thank God for saving his life .
Had a good little cry. God Save Justice!
What an incredible story! These attorneys are angels.
I think they really are.
So glad I got to see this updated version. So happy for Clinton keep fighting man
Im so glad u guys went back and were able to see the next part of Clinton's story!!
All these beautiful people who have helped this young man, thank you from the bottom of my heart ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
The system is truly broken. They wouldn't think twice about putting an innocent man back in prison. There still putting him through psychological torture with his conditions
AMEN TO THAT! ESPECIALLY TEXAS, WHAT THESE PEOPLE IS DOING IS PLAIN AND SMIPLE EVIL, TEXAS PURPOSELY KILLS PEOPLE WHO ARE MENTALLY ILL, THEY KILL PEOPLE WHO DIDN'T KILL ANYBODY, TEXAS EVEN TRIED TO KILL TEENAGERS BEFORE THE SUPREME COURT SHUT THAT DOWN! TEXAS MUST HAVE A FINANCIAL MOTIVE FOR HUMAN ORGANS TO BE THIS SADISTIC WITH KILLING PRISONERS! IF YOU'RE GOING TO HAVE THE DEATH PENALTY MAKE SURE 100% THAT YOU ARE THAT PERSON THAT TOOK ANOTHER HUMANS LIFE! GOD WILL GET HIS JUDGEMENTS ON "ALL" IN THE END!! NO CROOKED JUDGE OR PROSECUTOR IS ABOVE THE LORD...
“I’m not done yet!” I love it!
I had never heard of Clinton Young before watching two documentaries on him and his case. Both documentaries were well done and worth watching.
Excellent work on getting together and getting him out!! It was so sad when Jessica thought she would be seeing him for the last time!
This makes me so happy for him and all of them . I hope that other guy that actually killed them gets the death penalty and what he deserves
Much respect to those female attorney's who relentlessly worked to get him out. They are both beautiful inside and out.
Wow. You girls did an excellent job. What a gift and blessing you girls were.
Ive been watching his story through the years and this made me ball!! not a dry eye in my home watching this! were soo happy for you clinton!! from ontario canada.
OMG, I'm crying. I hope we all have someone caring to see the truth and willing to fight for us. So important.
Look at my Clinny Boy!
I'm so proud of you
Victory is yours ❤❤❤
I decree it
What an amazing story. Thanks to all the people who worked to bring to the forefront. 👍👍
I believe for every year this man spent in prison, he should receive $1000000 double exclamation
No amount of money can justify wot he's been through. Knowing he was innocent that alone would of driven most people insane. 3 day's away from the death penalty. Talk about psychological torture.
@@positivity374. I know that's right, but it still wasn't right I understand no amount of money could make up for all the damage it's emotional and its life it's for life because when something like that happens to somebody I could never imagine the
He'll be lucky to get 1000 for each year. There have been plenty of innocent people who've spent decades in prison and got next to nothing in compensation.
I’m bawling my bloody eyes out, i’ve watched all three documentaries and I’m delighted he’s out. I pray that justice is served and he will be found not guilty which I believe is the case.
Thanks to the team that committed themselves to justice, what angels. Really glad Clinton is finally vindicated. Really moving story.
I just looked him up online and they found him guilty again in August 2022 :(
@@clarebug4 Damn, that's a bummer. Thanks for letting me know. Everybody needs a second chance.
@@clarebug4 Good news, he's actually fine ua-cam.com/video/0z_mURQsseI/v-deo.html
@@clarebug4 No he's out on bond trial pending. It's another county.
H😢😢😢😢😢😢😅😅
HE NOT FREE
HE IS A PRISONER IN HIS OWN BODY!
Some people won’t even give him a chance for a job.
All those documentaries about his case needs some cash off them.
im really happy for clinton... incredible story .. made me cried
Yeah it had me teared up with joy . 😅
Incredible story, will keep following this case.
Stay strong Clint! You've made it this far....never give in or give up! They are all wrong....stand your ground! ❤️❤️❤️👏👏👏👍👍👍
Clint, i have much respect and admiration for you 😊. I wish you the very best in your future. Keep on being strong. (From Connecticut).!!
I can't stop crying , Clinton the lord is with you brother love from African Kenya
I've been following Clinton's story for a couple of years. I'm glad he got out, good for him!
Well done team you've done a fantastic job for an innocent man Clinton you talk straight make sense look after yourself buddy good luck
Oh my goodness...I am so happy for him...God bless his life....
Please my friend...Stay away from bad friends....They are no good....
Im sorry you went through all this America unjustified system corruptions....
It took foreigner to help you....Not even your own peoples from America... Shame on YOUR LAND AND GOVERNMENT...
Bless these ladies for saving a man's life, literally ❤
I have watched this case from a few different channels....That boy was thrown under the bus by the real killers....
I've been following his case this is wot he needs his story putting out there. I believe he didn't do it. There's loads of other similar stories
@@positivity374. Can you direct me to any videos on similar cases? I love these stories, but I can only find his that’s filmed like this. Thank you 🙏
He was thrown under the bus by the American justice system. And, he’s just one of so many!
Thank you guys so much for fighting for him
What an amazing story! I pray for each and everyone of you that Clinton gets the permanent freedom he rightfully deserves, with much love and prayers from Scotland UK ❤xx
You can't be strong and wrong. 3 day's away from the death penalty. Talk about psychological torture. No amount of money can justify wot the system has put that man through. I always wondered wot happened to him because I've been following his story. It's definitely a happy sad story all at the same time. You can't beat a true story
You really can’t praise the Lord 🙏🏽❤️
THOSE PROSECUTOR'S ARE WALKING DEMONIC ENTITIES IN THE FLESH, TEXAS PROSECUTOR'S SENT ROBERT PRUETT TO JAIL FOR LIFE AT "15"YRS OLD FOR A MURDER THAT HIS FATHER WAS RESPONSIBLE FOR?? NOT ONLY THAT THEY FRAMED POOR ROBERT OF KILLING A CORRECTIONS GAURD WITH NO DNA EVIDENCE NO NOTHING.... YOU GOT TO BE A SPECIAL TYPE OF EVIL TO DO WHAT THEY DID TO POOR ROBERT!! 😢
Yes, I agree! I've followed the story as well!!!! Kudos! 🎉❤🎉❤🎉❤
Thanks God to putting this angel’s in his life.!!! 🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
The best part is walking out that door when they say buzz the door open not to mention seeing your mother hugging her in way people don’t understand in that way
Hi from the UK. First. I watched the first documentary on Clinton’s wrongful conviction & saddened he was on death row for a crime he didn’t commit. I said then I hope some good would come of his injustice....I’m so pleased at last that the new evidence has been acted upon.
Second. A big thank you to Jessica & her team for their determination to put a terrible wrong . RIGHT!
If we had more people like Jessica the world would no doubt be a better place.
Wow I am amazed at not only the blatant failure negligence and cruelty of the state but in contrast the steadfast determination of Clinton , his family and most importantly Jess. She really made it happen. And getting him the apartment just showed their commitment to his success. Amazing to see
Absolutely amazing story 💯💯💯😭😭😭
God is good 👍👍👍
Watching from Philippines 🇵🇭❤️🇵🇭
Thank you. You saved a life!
Awww, this guy ❤ now I’m outside appreciating the stars ❤
I seen this last year this update is amazing
Just imagine how many innocent people would have given anything for someone to listen to them, even if they had to wear a bracelet but never got or will get that chance. I do understand him though about how stressful that would be to be watched so closely and to fear getting re-arrested at any time and not even suspect it. It has happened to me, although I have never been in a situation as harsh as Clinton's. I wish I could find out what happened to that Page freak because those are the people that need to get convicted
He seems to be a bit ungrateful... Yet I have to remind myself he was jailed at 18, and lacks the social skills that real life provide. I'm sure that between wanting to appear "hard" in case he does go back, and being locked into a young mindset, it's difficult to express. His childlike smile says more than words...
I'm thankful there's people like them that go above and beyond to help when it seems a horrible injustice has occurred. Thank you all.
Iyd be pretty tough to smile about spending 20 years in a death cage for murders you didn’t do. Dont you think??
@chopperdude407 Idk... I grew up "hard" and had to put on that "smile," saying, "Everything's ok!" While trying to muster through life. I became an amazing actress, lol, so I'm told... 😋
How is it that two journalists were the ones to get him out and not his lawyers? That is crazy. That you need people to fight for you even if you are innocent.
this is a reminder of there is still good ppl in this world
Really moving story.
Hi, I am so happy and proud of you, your family and all the people who helped you. Praying for you and all others who have been wrongly accused. A friend of mine, her Dad was in 44 years for a crime he never done. 44 years it took, to find out it was not his DNA. Ronnie Long is his name. Not sure if you have an account on facebook, wishing you all the best and God's protection over you and your Family. God Bless. Thank you, for never giving up and helping others.
The people who helped innocent people who are on death row wow i salute all you guys so amazing you didn't stop until the truth came out. As for you, mr. Clinton I'm amazed at you because you didn't lose hope and God is good for you ❤❤️❤️
He was arrested again and bailed for a second time after this video was filmed. Is there any current update on him?
He is out
Jealousy, envy and hatred ! But God always has the last and most powerful words!
"On August 12, Clinton was arrested while out on a job in Mississippi for a murder he was already indicted and out on bond for since last January. Clinton was doing everything he was supposed to do, yet he is now faced with two indictments for the same murder. Clinton’s bail was initially set at 5 million dollars, but on August 25 his bond was reduced by a judge to $150,000. Clinton spent over 2 weeks in jail. On August 29, we were able to bail Clinton out of jail, again, and give him his freedom back, again, with the help of some very generous people." _Clinton Young Foundation website_
Just watching David's interview, you can tell by his body language he lying from the go.
Please tell us more. You seem to be an expert. His co-defendants are the liars.
Dude is a creepy looking liar.
I wanted the mother and the sister to cry hug and thank the people that helped him
So glad he's free I new he was innocent. Good luck for the future Clinton stay strong .
I only did around have his time in prison and I’ve done a few years in solitary confinement. When he first got out his anxiety and just everything around him was a lot to handle. That’s probably why he looks flustered and doesn’t know what to say. His mind is trying to process what’s going on. Glad to see him out. Pray for nothing but the best for him and his family
The world is a very bad place.
Unfortunately I could not see the entire programme as the adds came in every 5 min
Well what a fine looking high horse. You could have skipped to end then restarted for no ads.
the video stops during the ads though
@@JadedBelle The high horse is the only thing that separates me from the commoners, I’ll try that skip to end and replay thanks
@@FixedFace amazing 🙃 thanks
@@Seven-Seven-77 lol
Where can I find more information about Clinton’s case ? I hope he is doing well and living his best life . May God shine all his blessings on him . And again a massive thank you to all those who helped him get through this tough ordeal . ❤️👏🏽🙏🏽😊
the Clinton Young Foundation website. This is basically the last update "In August 2022, Clinton was arrested for the same murder he was already indicted and out on bond for. After 2 weeks in jail, the Foundation got Clinton out on bond again, and Clinton currently awaits his new trial in freedom."
He was indicted in a different county from one of the two murders and re arrested on august 22, 2022 and is being held without bond until trial
@@Jake-hu9gf where did you get that info? The Clinton Young Foundation website says they bonded him out 2 weeks later after the August 2022 arrest
❤❤❤ I'M SOOOO HAPPY YOU ARE HOME!!!!❤❤❤❤
I didn't knew until today!! I'm SOOOOOO HAPPY FOR YOOOOU!!!!!! ❤❤❤❤❤ Iwanna write to Tou and I wanna donate...... CONGRATULATIONS!!!🎉🎉🎉
He honestly seems like a good person. Just got caught up in the wrong crowd early on in his teen years. Ive actually seen how these things play out most of my friends I hung out with on a daily basis my whole childhood and teen years are either dead or in prison. It's sad when you know the people they really are, not what they became. In all their cases one thing lead to another it takes only one mistake.
someone PLEASE hook him up with a social worker who checks in at least twice a week and helps to transition him away from being institutionalized. the situation is great but precarious. in best case, he is granted to visit the social worker/psychologist away from his apartment in an office. he should be going to see a social worker the entire time he has to wear the ankle bracelet.
It's wild people say they take to long and should kill then immediately tax money etc then when there wrong it's like o man this is great .pick your side
Good story. Let's not forget even though he got railroaded by a corrupt system, he was far from innocent. He helped put the body in the trunk and proceeded to travel with the guy which resulted in another killing.
When I’ve seen this I came to tears😂cause he was innocent and was framed and accused of a double murder 20 years in jail and staying strong he never thought the case was over turned that is one remarkable case one in a million that usually happens but the help from lawyers they never gave up on him and believed he was innocent they did everything they could sleepless nights but had a victory got the judge to get a bail so he can be released so happy for 20 years in jail especially on death row knowing u will die eventually the execution date was set but he had faith in god and the lawyers that helped him congratulations CLINTON ❤❤❤❤So happy to see u out always think positive be strong
Well done to this intrepid Dutch team. Superior power from The Netherlands.
Clinton deserves a scholarship to study law. He'd be a rock solid attorney.
WoW What a case his case should be thrown out & he should be completely compensated for all the time!! Plus I Pray 🙏 for him to get justice. But the families of the families that Lost Their Loved Ones Should Get Justice & Have The Real Killer Should Never Be Let Out!! I Pray 🙏 he doesn't have to wait long for a trial or is completely Exonerated!
Wow this is amazing
God knows the Truth 🙏🏽
Im an ex con from California. I don't know you but im glad to see you in the free world. May you stay free!
I suffer from Anxiety...caused by tours to both Bosnia and Balad, Iraq...aka Morteritaville...his suffering surely is larger than mine...I don't know if he suffers from anxiety, but I wouldn't want to be in his shoes...because I wouldn't make it ...he is a far stronger person than me...
What a story that was to watch amazing
Is there anyway to become this young man's penpal
He needs encouragement and love to try and stay safe.
any update on the trial?
I know there is a retrial but i don't know when. He's out on a ankle monitor so he's waiting on a new trial. I am surprised they didn't offer him a plea. Will see
I remember watching a doc on this guy a few years back… wild story
OMG
WHAT STORY
ANYWAY
THANK GOD
I've followed clinton young for years i hope you do win completely because in my opinion it wasnt you never as been you and its you that as suffered i think your an amazing person hansome qnd i pray you do get trutly free to live your life you deserve it keep strong and fighting amazing man
I think his attorney or this girl here she’s the one who was waiting for him at release
The law of parties can still send him back to prison
Wait a moment...Is he FREEE??
Yes
Girl power!
I feel bad for him, being free and having all that anxiety he feels, sees and hears!
Fantastic 🎉
It seems like all these young beautiful Dutch ladies have a bit of an infatuation with Clint. Wonder if the feelings are mutual
I'm on the Autism Spectrum and even I can see that David is lying!
He's doing stuff with his lips all the time and has a smug smile like he's happy with himself for fooling people!
I can’t believe it took a lovely young woman from a different Country to start the ball rolling
That's 51°F that is pretty cold but not for South Texas
4:51 Duper's Delight, right when I saw this smirk, combined with the fact she states, I thought he was guilty...
What these beautiful ladies did for Clinton is unbelievable they saved his life. Not only his freedom almost but his life. They are earth angels lm so glade Clinton is out of death row. I can’t believe how bad the prosecutor’s are they need to be locked up. Framing a innocent man with the help of the guilty guy who did do the killing. I’m praying for a great life ahead for you Clinton. And those beautiful earth angels bless them 🙏❤️❤️❤️❤️
Criminals are all innocent they say, why would you admit to something you didn't do.
He did not admit to anything.
God is with you Clinton, second chance to life.. as he sent these angels for you....make Father proud❤
Looks like 5 years after this he was released
Im so glad he is out of prison but having an ankel monitor is probably just as bad as being in prison. You have freedom but then you dont. Either way its like hes still in prison. Im just seeing Clintons case and he seems like such a great person, very respectful and eager to stay free.
I wish all the best for these freedom fighters and Clinton Young
What the prosecutor will do is delay his trial for as long as possible and in the meantime he’ll remain on bond with restrictions. Just before trial, and this is if they expect an innocent verdict they’ll offer him a plea where he gets time served and receives no jail. That way he can’t pursue any monetary retribution for the time he wrongfully served on death row. That’s a big if. It’s more likely that since he was an accomplice they’d likely pursue a life sentence or a term of so many years on top of what he’s already served, something like at minimum the 30 years his codefendant received
