Sometimes witnesses were threatened with arrest by police if they refused to testify. But if they willingly did it then yes they should serve what the innocents did.
Anyone else notice that all but one of these 10 men were black? And that many of them convicted by all white juries? That to me, is the infuriating part.
@@LoudPet636 How can you NOT bring race into it, when it is obvious from the stories told that race was a deciding factor in both investigation and trial?

It is the main reason for why I'm against the death penalty. As many as 1 in 10 death row inmates can be innocent. That number would need to reach a guaranteed 0 for me to even consider thinking that a civilized country should make use of the death penalty.
@@screenname3002 Dont think he much disagrees with that, the main issue is correctly applying that label to the correct people with 100% accuracy, which is currently impossible. Too much room for error. To be frank though, I dont think all pedophiles can be lumped in the same pot though, it is a mental disease, and some properly identify that problem in themselves and seek help before they might act on those impulses. I think that is far more forgiveable in my eyes. Pedophiles who act on it do deserve that though.
Wow. America's legal system needs some SERIOUS improvements. No wonder the Black Lives Matter movement is becoming so prominent. Hopefully we'll learn from the mistakes we made in the past, but knowing that these botched cases happened is very disturbing. We must learn from these mistakes to ensure they stop happening.
Many of these were from the days where it was an integral part. Thankfully much has changed and there are more measures now to protect from racial bias. It isn't perfect but it's a hell of a lot better.
@@BaronOfHell666 ooohh i guess you really told me. That's not what a Karen is, either. Stop just repeating things you've heard others say with zero knowledge of how to actually use it 🤡🐴
@@TheImaginator972 exactly not think that by putting innocent people behind bars you are turning them into victims because then they lose trust in the justice system
Well, I think the prosecutors should. The justice system isn't about justice, it's a game of who can play by the rules better. The judge is only there to preside. More or less, like a ref. The prosecution really does most of the shenanigans.
I'm so mad and offended because of the court and police back in the 1900s. When based on race and the color of the skin and tampered or false evidence.
A former SCOTUS Judge (I can't remember which one) once said something to the effect of "It is better for a thousand guilty men to go free than for one single innocent man to go to prison", and I completely agree.
It's like when a guy walk out from the store, recently found a dead body at the front with no clue what happened, bad timing, the police saw him in whole scene, and said: "YOUR UNDER ARRESTS FOR MURDERING!"
This is extremely heartbreaking to watch. I couldn't even imagine being wrongfully accused of something and spending decades in jail for something I didn't do.
Well I know one thing: even if I was proven innocent before a prison sentence, there's no way in hell I'd ever forgive the accusers. I'd probably laugh in their faces if they even had the balls to apologize and gave me cash. What people also need to understand is that contrary to popular belief, forgiveness is not as black and white as one might think.
The sad and unfortunate reality of all this is, that the few cases that are brought to light there are many who arent even given a chance, so they spend either the rest of their life behind bars, made to serve the absurdly long sentences, or are put to death. That is a very hard pill to swallow and that is what is one of the most frustrating thing imaginable.
Ikr? I agree with everyone else, all of these are infuriating, cuz the concept itself is frustrating; whether they're proven innocent either before or after the prison sentence, that still doesn't make up for what they've suffered. Besides, they only apologize cuz they were wrong, so why bother pretending as if they actually care?
There's a 2019 movie named Just Mercy, starring Michael B. Jordan and Jamie Foxx, it tells the true story of Walter McMillian, who, with the help of young defense attorney Bryan Stevenson, appeals his murder conviction. Good movie, I recommended.

Thank you WatchMojo, for using your platform and influence to spread awareness about these injustices. I do however wish you would've included Phillip Bevans on this list.
The people who LIED need to be arrested. Need to spend as long in jail as they people they lied about did. It’s only fair. They ruined their lives. Even with them being let go they will NEVER get those months/years back of their lives.
Discarded evidence, rigged juries, testimony left out. This was so sad to watch, and mechanical apologies with money thrown at them adds insult to injury. There is no justice system. The scales go in the favor of who manipulates them the most. SMH
I think the worst part of all of these cases is when you're innocent and everybody knows, but they must have someone to blame, you know, someone to fill out that place because the police didn't have another suspect.
It annoys me when they ask if the settlement money helps after they are exonerated. No amount of money is going to make up for me losing out on 35 years of my life.
This also happens to other country, I read an article before that teenage man in China has been accused for rape and murder of a teenage girl, he was executed 25 years ago, then after 20 (or more) years then real suspect emerge and confess to his crime, the Government give the family a big sum of Money, but the mother told them they won't take their money, all she want is her son back (alive) which is for me is a heart broken, this things does not happen only to US but in all parts of the globe, it is really painful to know that real innocent people are being convicted for the crimes that they didn't commit, and most of them died in the prison cell without a chance of proving their innocence.
It's sick that the Justice system was so cruel and unfair towards blacks back then. While not perfect It's much better than it used to be, with diverse juries and emphasis on evidence, especially advances in DNA evidence.
Cases like this makes me glad I don't do Jury Duty. I don't want to be responsible for getting an innocent person locked up and I sure as hell don't want to be responsible for letting the wrong person walk free.
See, crap like this is why I think when prosecutors and officers lie, intentionally provide witness with false testimonies, and fake evidence. That when this crap comes to light, the should be arrested and sentenced to what the innocent man/woman got. No matter how old they'd be. I don't care if it's a very old case, they could be 70 years old at that point. Throw those a-holes in there for the rest of their life.
In your honorable mentions you mentioned Steven Avery.I became interested in the story because i happened to go thru high school with a Steve Avery,So o do remember him very well lol.
I haven't seen the video yet, but I already know they are thousand if not tens of thousands of innocent people in prison today. I only wish to give my condolences and sympathy to those in prison and their families that truly love and miss them. I pray to those in waiting, that you are released from your wrongful imprisonment and pray the it comes soon. Well guilty people shall be punished, and Innocent person should not pay for the crime they did not commit. If you want to know some about why people are wrongfully arrested. Some are because of a miss lead by to see the other reasons, you can watch a video about it in Adam ruins everything. Thank you for your time.
These guys are better than me, I would be out for blood if I was wrongly accused and imprisoned for something I didn't do for decades. Fair play to their ability to forgive
I'm shocked more people don't end up dead after framing people that get large sums of money. I'd be so filled with hate after something like that I would use all the money for revenge.
This is the reason we have to get rid of death penalty in this country. Yes this people got out but think the innocent ones that did not and put to death for crime they did not commit.
Watch confession tapes on Netflix. You’ll see completely innocent people confess for crimes they didn’t commit. Hell one dude apologized for a murder during a press conference. Totally innocent.
Archie Williams of Baton Rouge Louisiana was wrongfully sentenced for 80 years for aggravated raped battery and murder. He was imprisoned on April 21, 1983 and released on March 21, 2019.
Depending on the state, some who are innocent and wrongfully convicted, will get no compensation/ forced to do "Alford Pleas" to be released from prison.
Cases like this are the reason why I’m against the death penalty. I’ve also been the witness to a crime. Luckily it wasn’t murder and the police still have a solid case without my testimony
This is why black men have a healthy REAL fear of innocent until proven guilty. While there are many people incorrectly incarcerated there is a reason most of this list are black. And as the former D.A. said I wasn't as sensitive to race as I am now. But this could still happen to ANYBODY.
The Central Park 5 should be the top one, not just a (dis)honorable mention. The entire nation convicted them -- because, they were black and from the big city. George F. Will was the worst at leading the smear of them, writing that they proudly sang rap songs in their cell, offering no attribution for this claim. Facts don't matter when black people are charged in a racist culture.

The man who died 15months out of jail broke my heart.
At least he's proven innocent and released before he met his maker.
Same with the dude from the "Conviction" movie who died 6 months after he was released (yes, it was an accidental death, but still).
All of them. All of them infuriated me, massive miscarriages of justice that ended with settlements and insincere apologies
There was a boxer named Rubbin "Hurricane" Carter who was locked up for decades for a false accusation, saddest cast I've ever looked into. Theres a movie called the Hurricane starring Denzel Washington, I recommend it to anyone who is interested.

Says something loud and clear.
