What really pisses me off are the stories I've heard where there is new evidence that clears them and the authorities are so convinced they got the right person that they won't hear it or let new evidence be tested or anything. They don't want to admit they messed up so they're going to let an innocent person pay the price.
Molly Brown Yes, but there will never be a foolproof system of determining guilt. All we can do is strive to improve it to reduce the number of false convictions. There will always be mistakes made. This is why I don’t believe in the death penalty.
@@daerdevvyl4314 Any system created by humans is going to flawed because we are flawed. The ones that tick me off and, thankfully, I think they are rare are the ones where there is reasonable doubt but the police and/or prosecutors ignore it because they're convinced they had the right person and won't even look at anyone else. Then there are the ones you hear, again rarely, where some lab tech fudges the results to help the police convict people because they're so sure they have the right person.
I've always said that the U.S. has so many incarcerated people because the justice system is completely screwed up. Anyone in law enforcement, who is a political appointee, is forced to get convictions, just to keep their jobs. People will be railroaded into jail, by hook or by crook, in such a system. It is morally corrupt!
Sadly, they still are. People get nagged into plea deals every day. Many didnt do it but dont want to risk a jury or judge sending them for decades. If they lie and take a plea they get a much shorter time. Plea bargains are what has filled up the US prison system
Imagine spending 20 years in prison for something you didn't do. No amount of compensation would be suitable to forgive those who put you wrongly behind bars.
@@Jojo_jomofacts these white judges and lying witnesses are sick asf knowing u put someone wrongfully in jail for a decade and more while the liar or the judge live their best lives smh
Tbh, its like 30 years in the world more less for ppl from the bottom to make it to the top in many cases. And they dont even make that much. Lol id take that too
You could ask everyone in prison if they thought they were innocent. Many own their charges because they did it. Look into the ones they thought they didnt need to be there
Brandon Henton a lot of people like cops, and prosecutors just want the case to be closed and if they find someone who matches everything then in many cases that's their guy no matter what.
I can understand if they truly believe they are right but most KNOW when a case isn't quite right and will still prosecute. If it wasn't clearly video recorded then I can't understand not checking all possible theories.. science changes all the time! All available DNA should be checked especially if it's a crime like murder or rape .If an innocent person is convicted a real murderer is free to hurt again.
That's how the justice system currently works. It's what's known as the 'adversarial system'. It's like asking how a defense attorney can defend someone they suspect is guilty. The idea is that a jury or judge will reason the truth from both their given arguments/cases. Without either one doing their job to the fullest, the current system wouldn't function.
Well really every justice system sucks bcause we just aren't able to really do justice (at the moment, one day we'll be so technologically advanced that it will be easily possible to find out if someone tells the truth or not and we'll be able to use EVERY form of evidence)
If my mother on her deathbed told me that she had killed my sister and wached as I had been looked at as a suspect and other people have been looked at as suspects but nobody had ever been able to solve the murder and I had lived with the horror of finding her body my whole life, I would have picked up the phone and dial 911 right away. I would have called all of the news outlets that I could and told them everything. "Oh you want to come and interrogate my mother while she's on her deathbed? Please come in!"
I wish high profile crimes would be confessed on a persons deathbed.. I mean, what do u have to lose at that point?? Like who’s the zodiac murderer, or what happened to jimmy hoffa, etc. We need answers ppl!
So many youtubers just copy each other's stories & rehash the same stuff over & over again, it's so nice to find someone who's actually putting out new content- thank you!
Now DNA testing has advanced so much now all cases that have body fluids still available for testing should be mandatory testing without the court saying yes or no. It may cost taxpayers but if it proves innocents then that is one less $ spent on a prisoner who is innocent.
Martina 2008 yassssss! I def agree it should be mandatory not even a question, we have this great tool available now with so much advanced technology tht u don’t even need much to get a DNA profile anymore, so we should be taking FULL advantage of that in the justice system.. get the REAL criminals locked up and undo any injustices! It’s unbelievable why we have to get the OK from a judge when half the time they just deny it anyway if the person has already been convicted! It’s terrible and Needs to change ASAP! We need a new law here in the states! 👍🏻💯🙏
@@katybug6572 I found it interesting that DNA tech has become so advanced to the point that one technician was showing a new employee at the lab how their testing works, and the DNA sample they were working with ended up showing a mixture of the original victim's profile mixed with the technician's profile. As it turns out, the technician showing the new employee the lab work forgot to put on a face mask, so just talking to her while near the sample was enough to contaminate it with her own DNA.
and to make full use of the advantages of DNA testing, think as much country's as possible should take DNA from all inhabitants (like whenever someone enters the country or is born). that way the whole western world (at least) would have the DNA of all their citizens (legal/illegal) in a database. that way, if the cops find any DNA at a crime scene they know within a short time who where at the scene. there're to much crimes where the cops find DNA but the person that left it is unknown to the authorities. and the cops just have to hope the criminal gets caught for something else to get the DNA match.
Hmmm. I'm not religious but the confessions intrigue me. So a Christian murders someone and keeps quiet their entire lives to avoid punishment. Then on their death bed they confess to avoid being sent to hell? It sounds less of a confession and more like a plea bargain to avoid punishment again. I mean...if they were truly repentant wouldn't they confess after the crime?
Yeah, I don't think any branch of Christianity (that I know of) thinks that a deathbed confession (at least without priestly absolution afterward) would free your soul from guilt. It could clear your conscience though.
Keith Richards wrote about Brian Jones death in his bio. Richards said that he didn't hold much with deathbed confessions, but that Jones was so annoying and abusive to his workers that he could well believe that someone finally murdered him out of exasperation...
Criminally Listed is the stuff. Great channel that provides as treasure trove of information regarding both solved and unsolved crimes and missing persons.
Been following Criminally Listed for a while and I'm glad to find out (only now, yes) that you work together! Awesome, no wonder I enjoy the quality of both channels :)
Obviously there's no such thing as hell. But I don't think that the bible specifically says that you go to hell for murder. You can do whatever you like if you ask for forgiveness.
Well, the bible has over 200 clauses which justify murder so chances are the only wrongdoing in accordance with the Bible would be the wrong method of execution. Stoning, impaling, suffocation and using animals to maul the victim are all acceptable. Morrality exists despite religion.
But most people don't generally worry about such existential stuff that isn't going to affect their immediate future, it's only when you're on your deathbed that such things become a reality for some people. I wouldn't imagine that your current worries will be anything close to the same as when you're on your deathbed.

People who were falsely accused and then were imprisoned for many years (one of them dying there) that is so sad and makes anyone angry. But the woman who killed her daughter and then went on to accuse several people...wow.
Regarding the Starved Rock Murders, many locals still are divided as to Weger's participation. There are a lot of theories, some believable and some bizarre. My dad was a bus driver in the area in 1960, driving the route taking Weger to work. Dad was questioned if he saw the scratches on Weger's face. I believe he did see scratches, but could not give them a date when he saw them. There is also a local woman who believes her brother was involved in the murders.
Me on my deathbed "I should have used Nord VPN, please don't look at my search history." My wife and children looking up my search history seeing "how to grow a beard"
Why release an inmate knowing it’ll cost them millions in settlement fees. That’s why most remain behind bars. People assume that everyone behind bars are guilty. 8 to 10 percent of all incarcerations are innocent. That is 10 million people falsely accused each year. No system is perfect.
While on her deathbed, my first wife confessed to having cheated on me. I just smiled and patted her. "It's okay," I told her, "I know." "You do?" She asked. "Of course," I assured her, "Why else do you think I poisoned you?" JK

@@ClickClack_Bam UA-cam never told me anyone replied to this.... Go figure. Sure, it has it's uses like any system, but it still is far from perfect. How does one deal with murderers, rapists, and torturers humanely in a way that doesn't cost someone resources so they no longer can perform such actions? How can we guarantee not sentencing a person of crimes they didn't commit? I can't think of anything better unfortunately. Still, the system in place now is still incredibly dangerous. It allows the guilty to roam free, and the innocent to be punished.
Here's one haunting possibility : In several of these cases, the person telling about the confession could be the actual murderer lying to mislead people.
Wow simon in a Tshirt 😍 another great video!! I went to Roberts channel and realized i already subscribe to Criminally Listed - his content is awesome aswell 💜🦋
I walk away from each video more thoroughly impressed.💯💯💯👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻. You are a busy fellow with many channels, and I now follow them all. Keep up the impressive work because knowledge is valuable.
I worked in healthcare over 20 years ago in Denver and a guy that was full care and close to his end called the cops in and told a story about how he killed black men when he was a Texas ranger. Even after describing where he buried the body the state chose to do nothing. Because in the end the state would be struck paying his medical bills so nothing was done
The path the justice system takes is one of least resistance. Who wants to work to do the job any more? Certainly not 99% of the ones supposed to be upholding the law.
Having been wrongfully accused of something I can tell you the press only cares if they think it is unique somehow. If they've already covered similar stories recently, it doesn't interest them.
Melissa I’m guessing because he wasn’t super close to death so he would have been arrested and then medical bills fall on the state since the person is in their care. He may have been short on money and didn’t want to burden his family
Ok so you're going to be the first in line to donate more of your paycheck to find life-in-prison prisoners right? I mean you do know the taxpayers pay for this right? I'm all for proper justice but there should be a system that rids society of it's issues and that system should be perpetually advanced... Like it already is.
the ones who admit they did it and ones that have irrefutable proof that they did it should die and not be put on death row to make the lawyers rich they need to die within a week
Just to let you know my cat, Sammy, was immersed in watching this video with me. She is extremely hyperactive and I was surprised she sat still through the entire video. Further proof that women like British accents.
Aha! Maybe that's the point! Intelligence is attractive! Even a spade 1.5 year old adolescent cat agrees. What's so cute is she was reaching out for the phone whenever Simon was on screen. When the video was over, she walked over my male cat and jumped off the bed. She just wanted to watch the video.

Id just like to say that its a refreshing change to see& hear a presenter like Robert fr Top Tenz, who is precise, erudite, clear in speech if perhaps a tad hurried in delivery. For me, he also pronounces words, names & places correctly! My pet hate is when so many presenters mispronounce important factual names etc, as above stated. Does it take THAT much trouble to ensure names etc are correctly pronounced? And oh! Have there been some doozies recently. Im not being pedantic, i just think its important to get this stuff right. Young kids watch some of these vids, so isnt it up to presenters to get it right? Grammar & speech are at appalling levels today esp th younger crowd. So! That said, its a pleasure to tune into Top Tenz for ex excellent delivery well researched, i always learn new info at each topic viewed. THANK YOU ROBERT AT TOP TENZ 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🤓

@@johnscott2746 ah, no, with BH it was an old couple in bed, the wife asked if he'd ever cheated on. "Just the once," He told her. "Sure could use that once now," She replied.
@@Rkenton48 no I’m thinking of the musical routine where he sings “I’ve been unfaithful many times my dear, and she said “that’s alright Joe, oh didn’t you think I know?, that’s why I put that arsenic in your beer.
@@johnscott2746 lol! You wouldn't happen to know the season/episode would you. Big fan of his work.
Simon you look great in a t-shirt and great video! My heart aches thinking about those poor innocent people who were wrongly convicted :(
As If u do sanctimonious cows head
@@jeffdroog dumb lady? I said he looks fine in a tee. that makes me dumb?
@@jeffdroog ah nah you're right, I must be dumb, I didn't know what he meant. But I like cows, so it's not too insulting.
I love Criminally Listed
I would if the dude didn't sound like an undead Napoleon Dynamite. His voice makes my soul hurt.
The last two story is downright disgusting. A mother killed her own daughter just because she was late making a dinner and then tried to frame her son and friends for the murder and even demand him to not tell the truth even after her death.
I was caught off by Simon's screen tee 😂 I'm so use to his fancy button up
Criminally Listed is my favourite youtube channel!
Yasmin Khan lol
I was somewhat prepared to see Simon having full sleeve tattoos or something... :)
@MrCloudseeker I want to shampoo his shaggy asshair
@MrCloudseeker why...it's nice, or are you jealous 'cause you can't grow any?!!
@MrCloudseeker 😁
MrCloudseeker LoL that’s what I said!! But Ew that was hair sticking out ?? Grosss I had no clu I was like, wtf is that thing on ur neck bro?? Lmao! Omg I’m dead 😂 🤣🤦🏼♀️

criminally listed is one of my favorite channels!!! great recommendation
This is the justice system we all live by. Isn't it amazing?
It's the greatest system that has ever existed...
Care to tell me which other system you'd rather live under???
@@ClickClack_Bam no system...
@@mcthuggin9803 Point me to a "no system" in history that you think has worked better, supported the lives of hundreds of millions-even supported other countries & billions of people.
Feel free to elaborates your choice(s) because you'll be explaining something that really hasn't existed.
at one time you just pointed at someone and yelled, WITCH!. That was all the evidence needed. Burn her.
@@ClickClack_Bam UA-cam never told me anyone replied to this.... Go figure.
Sure, it has it's uses like any system, but it still is far from perfect.
How does one deal with murderers, rapists, and torturers humanely in a way that doesn't cost someone resources so they no longer can perform such actions?
How can we guarantee not sentencing a person of crimes they didn't commit?
I can't think of anything better unfortunately. Still, the system in place now is still incredibly dangerous. It allows the guilty to roam free, and the innocent to be punished.
I think for number seven you meant to say 1994 and not 1944, neither the crips or a ford taurus existed that early haha
I was gonna say that but figured I'd look through the comments 1st. Either 94 or even 84 but nothing earlier...
I hear he said 1984.
@@josephancion2190 i hear 1924
Nope. Definitely 1944!
The shooting happened in 1994.
Simon Whistler and Criminally Listed. #TheGruesomeTwosome
Super stoked, love top tenz & criminally listed, awesome collaboration guys!!!
I always knew there was something up on the Brian Jones story. Enlightening! Thanks, Simon, 4 all the tales.
Thank you Simon Whistler. You gem. You legend. You maverick.
Here's one haunting possibility :
In several of these cases, the person telling about the confession could be the actual murderer lying to mislead people.
The fact that you & criminally listed are tied together is awesome I’ve loved both channels for a while 👌🏻🤙🏻🤘🏼
TopTenz is my favorite UA-cam channel😍
Simon in a t-shirt whoop whooo. Looking good lol. Yet anotger great vid with my favorite narrator.
david barnett that shirt is using art from a popular metal band.
Um thank you i think?
I'm pretty sure they borrowed it from The Nuremberg Chronicles.
Love both channels sooooo much *_*
Love his channel so much!!
I’ve lived in Elizabethtown my whole life and I never heard that story. Definitely interesting.
i've been subbed to criminally listed for about 5-6 months great channel :)
Wow simon in a Tshirt 😍 another great video!! I went to Roberts channel and realized i already subscribe to Criminally Listed - his content is awesome aswell 💜🦋
I walk away from each video more thoroughly impressed.💯💯💯👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻. You are a busy fellow with many channels, and I now follow them all. Keep up the impressive work because knowledge is valuable.
This channel is pretty cool, I subed :) Nice T shirt btw
I worked in healthcare over 20 years ago in Denver and a guy that was full care and close to his end called the cops in and told a story about how he killed black men when he was a Texas ranger. Even after describing where he buried the body the state chose to do nothing. Because in the end the state would be struck paying his medical bills so nothing was done
Melinda Rix How do you know about this? Did it make the papers? If you knew about it, why did you not go to the press? To the NAACP? To anybody?
The path the justice system takes is one of least resistance. Who wants to work to do the job any more? Certainly not 99% of the ones supposed to be upholding the law.
Having been wrongfully accused of something I can tell you the press only cares if they think it is unique somehow. If they've already covered similar stories recently, it doesn't interest them.
Why would the state be paying his medical bills if they opened a case?
Melissa I’m guessing because he wasn’t super close to death so he would have been arrested and then medical bills fall on the state since the person is in their care.
He may have been short on money and didn’t want to burden his family
This is why I oppose the death penalty. The judicial system makes mistakes and convicts innocent people.
Ok so you're going to be the first in line to donate more of your paycheck to find life-in-prison prisoners right?
I mean you do know the taxpayers pay for this right?
I'm all for proper justice but there should be a system that rids society of it's issues and that system should be perpetually advanced... Like it already is.
the ones who admit they did it and ones that have irrefutable proof that they did it should die and not be put on death row to make the lawyers rich they need to die within a week
I know nothing of you, but you do an EXCELLENT job.
Love his channel and this one
Just to let you know my cat, Sammy, was immersed in watching this video with me. She is extremely hyperactive and I was surprised she sat still through the entire video. Further proof that women like British accents.

I just thought he was enunciating properly! 😁
Aha! Maybe that's the point! Intelligence is attractive! Even a spade 1.5 year old adolescent cat agrees. What's so cute is she was reaching out for the phone whenever Simon was on screen. When the video was over, she walked over my male cat and jumped off the bed. She just wanted to watch the video.
R/thathappened
@@romantic_hippie Cats do weird things.
Entirely possible.
My cats come listen to things with me all the time. Smokey used to get up on the bed and sit with me when I started videos.
"I still pee on my bed till I was 20" That will be my deathbed confession.
I love Simon whistler been subscribed to TiFO for a while and I literally just now discovered this channel!
Thank you Simon for making this video. Interesting yet macabre. O.o
Criminally Listed is one of the best channels on UA-cam.
Simon needs to create his own t-shirt, I want one.. Love this video as I do all of your stuff.
I love that you wore his T shirt, even though it didn't fit in with your channel's 'branding'. Speaking of branding... I saw some of your earlier videos, and I reckon your 'new' look, with glasses and beard, really frame your face and define you for camera. Suits you, sir! Oh, and I like the content of the videos too ;)
Awesome! Was not expecting a shout out to CL but so glad as that is an amazing channel!
Criminally Listed is an Awesome Channel! Thanks Simon, the tee looks great.
did the wearing of the tee shirt really hv such an impact! Ace ♠️💯🥳
I’m a huge fan of criminally listed !! So glad to see him getting the recognition he deserves !! Awesome video !!
Imagine your loved one murdered and the killer lives free till a natural death. 😑 life is sometimes not fair. Prayers for the families 🙏🏻
I love criminally listed it's my favorite Channel next to this one
You have nice arms! more T-shirts, please! I love this collaboration. Two of my favorites
Love this ! Its eclectic and interesting!!!👍👍
All ready sub to both keep it up brother 👊
I got somewhat unlucky after i made a joke in my mind at my g-grandma's funeral.
My laptop stopped working and never went on again when i came back.
15:22 so she was a few hours late to make dinner and caught an axe to the head by her mother?
Talk about tough love.
That I really to
Horrific😰
I love your intelligent and interesting topics you cover. But I also wanted to say that the sponsor for this video is awesome! Ten Billion Trees! I will support them and I hope we can all make a difference.
OMG LOVE the shirt!!
Alice mock from Middletown Delaware. I'm also from the 1st state of the union Delaware in the town of Rehoboth Beach.
I like the t-shirt!
My mind is hornswaggled! What a crazy video!!
Simon ..I love the T-shirt on you! Nice!
Id just like to say that its a refreshing change to see& hear a presenter like Robert fr Top Tenz, who is precise, erudite, clear in speech if perhaps a tad hurried in delivery. For me, he also pronounces words, names & places correctly! My pet hate is when so many presenters mispronounce important factual names etc, as above stated. Does it take THAT much trouble to ensure names etc are correctly pronounced? And oh! Have there been some doozies recently. Im not being pedantic, i just think its important to get this stuff right. Young kids watch some of these vids, so isnt it up to presenters to get it right? Grammar & speech are at appalling levels today esp th younger crowd. So! That said, its a pleasure to tune into Top Tenz for ex excellent delivery well researched, i always learn new info at each topic viewed. THANK YOU ROBERT AT TOP TENZ 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🤓
Love the T-shirt! I want one.
Simon, I would love you to narrate my life story! You have the best voice ever!!!
Heyo Simon! I'm a big fan of Rocking Self-Publishing. Nice to see you're involved in even more interesting content.
The only way you can get parole is if you repent for your crime. That’s difficult if your innocent.
Huh. So the state I live in, Oklahoma, made it onto the list twice early on...
Dig the tshirt. Casual Friday?
That T-Shirt is awesome ! Thanks for the recommendation, I'll def check it out.
