Not only a man has lost his best years in jail but also his daughter was raised without her father...and no compensation or help whatsoever. It's hard to process.
Declared innocent in May, released in November. We know who the victim really is.
Bless him! Shame on the “justice” system!!! They need to compensate this man!!!!! 🤬
I agree, he needs to sue the court. They need to do a better job with these court cases instead of storing black men away and penitentiary for-profit
6 months after being declared innocent? Dear God!
What!! After 43 yrs. Come on guys. At 63 yrs what the heck is he going to do now? He needs to open Gofundme and the justice department in that state needs to be charged.
What's crazy is we didn't even have internet when he went to prison. How can he possibly catch up. 🤷🏾♀️
Thankfully there is a gofundme set up to help him❤.
The Estates of those people that put him in jail on a false accusation should suffer the consequence (The Detectives/Prosecutors/The Warden)
The woman who survived of the four people that got shot during the triple homicide this man was falsely accused of being part of started telling people she knew within a year after he was convicted based upon her mistakenly naming him as a witness in 1978 that she didn't think he had done it that she was suffering from her gunshot wounds and basically hysterical when she had said he had been part of it.And one of the men who was correctly convicted of this triple homicide said that this man had NOT been involved but nobody listened to him. None of the prosecutors etc. But this woman who was shot and realized she had made the mistake in identifying him as being involved waited until 2009 before getting in touch with the organization that was instrumental him released. Why did she wait that long? If she new that she had been wrong before 1979, why did she let this man rot in jail before contacting an organization that actually could have helped him rather than just telling her friends or whatever that she didn't think he had done it. That's a crime in and of itself.
@@meself349 Tearful, just Tearful
I do not want to cry heart.breakin
After 43 years of life heartlessly stolen, he does not acquire a gun and seek out vigilante justice under the guise of some rationalized premise.. Instead he simple seeks the peace of the ocean. This is what a real hero looks like....
WTF he's unable to move what do you mean he doesn't want to acquire a gun and seek revenge he can't. So someone who's broken and all they can do is seek the peace of the ocean is a real hero. So disingenuous.
@@travelingjohn69 wow, some soul ya got there, brother.
@@meself349 Well if White supremacy didn't do this type of crap to my people then my soul would be less bitter. His is only one story there are many more I'm sure of it. Recently arrested a white cop out in Georgia who was going around making false charges on black people and beating up black people all because he didn't want black people to vote. I forgot what county was in but it was in Georgia somewhere. You got cops who think like that still roaming the streets of America. How would it make you feel if you were born black.
What a wicked system.
It's not the System, it's the People that abuse it
@@tomassoyweyvon4902 There is a part me want to believe that. But, the system was set up to abuse some and favor others.
@@justtrust426 Geographics played a major part , no argument to you
@@tomassoyweyvon4902 I can appreciate that too. There is truth in that statement as well.
America is a sad joke
That's sad they won't compensate.
May someone step up and help him more. He needs compensation.
The governor could have pardoned him months ago so he could have been with his mother before she died.
They basically killed this man. They took his life. This makes me sick.
How many more are in jail for things they never commit???
Okay, pay this kind gentleman handsomely. Into the millions... No compensation? That's not right by any means!
That’s so sad! They wasted 43 years of his life!
Damn i just feel so sad for these people whose lives were just destroyed over being wrongfully convicted.
Then they get released and they be like oh our bad, if even that and don't try to help them
BLM maybe with all money they raised.
@@nikkijayne4451 You can't fool God.
I just don’t understand any of this! It’s insane!
don't we see one of these stories every week?
Yes we do. Sad how broken and racist the American justice system is
pretty much. even more disturbing are all the stories never told and all the innocents never exonerated-- thousands of people missing out on their entire lives for the sake of an arbitrary conviction.
gfft5
@@makeitmakesense2616 you do realize there are whites in the same situation
Shamefull these judges who send innocent people to prison should b fired for rueing leople lives.
The juries send the people to prison. Not the judges.
He’s free but where is the justice?????
Just imagine coming out to a world u won't understand or recognize.. Cell phones, internet, bigger televisions from the 1970s technology in general etc just can't imagine
So what is the state doing for him ? Training for a job ? Social Security ? He missed college , marriage , childeren , retirement fund , this is not fair . You take 40 years from a mans life , how do you begin to compensate ! And where does he begin ?
Why is this world so sad. So many people serving time for crimes they did not do. What a waste of this man's life. If it were me, I would be so bitter.
I hear you. But after 43 years, maybe this guy is just too completely broken in every way imaginable to even have any anger anymore. He said he cried a lot of tears about his mother. Maybe that's all he has left. Sadness, emptiness, and I imagine he may even be looking somewhat forward to not being on this planet anymore after an experience like this. He even talked about wanting to see the ocean before he died. He's already starting to talk about dying. I think once you go through an experience like this and realize just how corrupt and evil human beings can be, you're not really all that keen to be on this planet anymore and maybe ready for whatever lies beyond.. That's how I feel sometimes myself. So maybe I'm projecting, but who knows...he could be feeling a little bit of that himself. I certainly wouldn't blame him.
@@meself349 I agree. I have suffered alot, maybe not for 43 years but I was diagnosed with cancer at 26. Three years they put me through hellish treatments, doctors straight up lied about my transplant. I have so many permanent side effects that nobody told me about. Everytime I go to them for answers they just laugh at my face and tell me I should consider myself lucky to be alive. What life is this riddled with side effects and chronic pain! I was very bitter at first but now I am just too broken up and looking for an exit soon…
He said one think he looking forward to do is swimming in the sea, because he used to swim alot. Hope someone can help him to get to the sea and carry him into the water!!
Where are the Karen and Chads who wanna still proclaim we live in a unicorn and rainbows world where racism doesnt exist
Curious where it's ever been shown race had anything do with this.
I would be very angry for spending 43 years of my life and time wasted behind iron bars for a crime I did not commit.
this is disgusting on all level and the ones guilty did no time
They took his entire life, everything he could've been,done and live was ripped off from him. Why it took 43 yrs.
This is sickening, I’m lost for words.
No government employee is guilty of destroying his life
It seems every month there's another innocent person released from prison after decades in prison, and each of them had multiple instances of luck to achieve freedom. That should give everyone a decent idea of just how many innocent people died in our prisons.
The Innocence Files series on Netflix is a must see
And there have been plenty of cases where prosecutors withheld evidence that could have exonerated the person. Or police coerced false confessions from people or witheld evidence themselves. Or just outright lied on the witness stand. This has been documented to have happened many times. I read about a case where a woman was asked to pick a suspect from a lineup and she couldn't identify the suspect in the lineup, and the prosecutor told her that she had made a mistake , that the person who committed the crime WAS in the lineup and she had to try again. So she picked somebody who hadn't even committed the crime and that person ended up going to prison for a long time. It's hard to believe that these things actually happen but they do. Prosecutors want to make a name for themselves. They want to advance their careers. Some of them are completely evil and corrupt human beings who have no conscience about putting people in jail that they know have not committed crimes. I certainly wouldn't say that they all are that way but there are enough of them to have caused incredible suffering and misery to innocent human beings over the years. This kind of corruption that goes on in our legal system is responsible for people's lives being completely destroyed. That's why there's a big difference between the court of man and the court of God,if you will. . One is often corrupt, cruel and arbitrary and the other is not, hopefully. It's not something that I can prove but I've seen it happen in this lifetime period even in my own case, where if I wrong somebody in some way it seems to come back to me. I believe that everybody pays for their crimes against other human beings sooner or later, in one way or another. I don't really think you can escape it.
I dont see why it took 43 years to show this man didn't have nunnin to do with the crime he was charged with and why he has to still suffer after all he was a innocent man and now he's a victim then and a victim now smh 🤦 😠
If he doesn't qualify for social security disability being in a wheel chair I would move to another state!!
He’s never worked and they overturned his convection. He’s a non person. Think about that he has NO time paying into the system. This is so incredibly sad, but the truth is without help from a GoFundMe he has nothing and he needs dental, medical, etc right now! Donate if you can.
Write him a check!!!!!!!
Missouri needs to change their law.
who was the judge who punished this innocent man ?
What's a mans life worth?
Open up the check book boys and say hello to your new Governor.
This is why we have the death penalty, so we don't have to turn criminals loose...
How do I get in touch with Kevin Strickland ?
Our government should pay his living expenses the rest of his life.
I wonder how he ended up in a line up to start with.
Surely a model citizen
He should have at least been compensated at least
They took his life may God provide
What’s his GoFundMe
How many more people are in prison and are not guilty?
I was 4 years old when this man was convicted.
They stole his entire life, everyone involved should be prosecuted
This happens entirely too much, I'm sick of it
So sad
Man this a got damn shame! Smdh Mr. Strickland I'm glad u free King but the state of Missouri needs to write this man a check bc he can't get back those best years if his life & all y'all wanna say is u can go...smdh a damn shame bro
So the “ victim” just wanted some black man to take the blame!!!!! Come on Man…. And no compensation what’s so ever!!!!! Some justice system!!!!!!🤦🏾♀️🤦🏾♀️
Where was his race ever mentioned?
If you got a badge on you should be arrested by the people immediately.
Remember he was only innocent of the crime that put him in prison, not of the crimes he got away with that made him a suspect.
He was innocent of all crimes because they charged him with the wrong thing, your innocent until proven guilty. This country needs criminals, the police and courts would lose too much money if they get every case correct.
They should paid what they did to that man.
IF YOU’RE NOT ON DEATH ROW YOU CANT GET A LAWYER??? WHATTHEACTUALF?? Is that true??? Illegal.
Wow
Unfair
That’s what I love about Missouri no black privilege here just all crocodile tears
Ask Douglas..she pointed him out
Somebody's gonna need to show him how to use Twitter.
He needs to be compensated
Glad hes free the system sucks period
So many black men’s story 😴 love hearing how they sue and win for millions !!!!
Now what does he do ? No money no job no career no car no house no nothing..he’s fuked
WHAT KIND OF RULE AND LAW IS THIS , FIRST THEY TAKE 2/3 OF HiS LIFE. FOR SOMETHING HE DIDN'T DO AND END UP IN A WHEELCHAIR AND THAN GIVE HIM NOTHING FINANCIAL TO GET START HIS LIFE AFTER THIS HORRIBLE 43 YEARS . THIS IS RIDICULOUS.
THE STATE HAS TO BE SUED FOR THIS. HE IS IN TITLE TO GET PAID. IS IT BECAUSE HE IS A BLACK MAN. IS HE IN A REPUBLICAN RACIST STATE?
WHAT IS WRONG WITH HUMAN RIGHTS IN AMERICA. AND HOW COME THIS IS HAPPENING ALOT THAT INNOCENT PEOPLE OF BLACK RACE OFTEN ENDS UP IN JAIL WHEN THEY HAVE COMMIT NO CRIME AT ALL?
IT SEEMS LIKE THE SYSTEM NEED TO BE RENEWED FOR THE SAKE OF MANKIND
The “justice” system
After all this man has been through having his life and health and everything else stolen from him including not being able to see his own mother before she died, there is still a Republican (big surprise) who is upset that this destroyed human being was released. Anybody that is a Trumpublican makes me want to vomit. There are very few decent Republicans that I've ever come across in this lifetime. With the exception of maybe somebody like Liz Cheney or Adam Kinziger but they're the ones that the other Trump Republicans hate of course: " But not all were pleased. Missouri’s attorney general, Eric Schmitt, a Republican running for U.S. Senate in 2022, fought the exoneration. His office did not immediately respond to a request for comment on Tuesday night." I'm sure Trump will be endorsing him.
Free at last!🙏🙏🙏
pay the man
AMERICA. THE WORLD IS WATCHING YOU...WEEP....
But no seriousness if you are not black and you were born black with everything going on would you not have a better heart as well? But something tells me this is encouraging because Ahmad Aubrey's killers were convicted yesterday and this happened around the same day. So maybe something is moving America in the right direction far as Justice towards Black people.
Amerikkkas injustice system,if you're black your guilty, period! Glad he's free,now pay him! George Stinney Jr rest in Paradise
Compensate that man~!
Bittter sweet
Yes this is good news but what change can happen for situations such as this? This was the best of his life wasted in prison all while he was innocent. I do believe the state needs to pay him out well so that he may be able to live the rest of his days with a high quality of life. People like this deserve it. Life in prison is absolutely horrible and he now will spend much time trying to adjust to life outside those bars which can take a mental toll. I wish him the best.
God allowed you to go to jail even though you were innocent? Come on. Religion is nuts.
GO FUND ME
Same thing aost happened to Kyle Rittenhouse. Framed by FBI and prosecutors.
Imagine if Rittenhouse was accidently put in prison?
I think the atf would disagree he committed a crime he just wasn't charged with the correct crime.
With out of Islam, there is no justice.
This is insane
