@STEVEWILKOS You know WHY THEY CONVICTED THAT YOUNG MAN. Not for nothing which as this is so sad, but we all know it's because he's a black man. Rather he was innocent or not he was going down.
THANK YOU STEVE FOR PART 1 😂✌🏻😁.. I LOVE 💕 YOUR SHOW I WATCH YOUR NEW VIDEOS EVERY DAY. I WATCHED ALL OF YOUR EPISODES. MY COUSIN MURIEL WISE WAS ON YOUR SHOW YEARS AGO. HER HUSBAND JUSTIN ACCUSED HER OF MOLESTING HER SON & YOU PROVED HIM TO BE A LIAR & HER TO BE INNOCENT 😇🙌🏻 THANKS TO JESUS & YOU ! OUR WHOLE FAMILY LOVES YOU NOW... ❤😁🙏🏻😔💕
Anyone who makes false accusations should be made accountable for their actions and go to prison. I feel for all these victims who was wrongly convicted
And that should include the prosecuting attourneys and the so called defense attourneys who simply convince innocent people to take a plea deal so they don't have to actually do any work.
There SHOULD be laws put in place that convict these people. It would keep innocent men out of prison, and stop detectives from wasting precious time on other cases that ARE REAL. KARMA WILL GET THEM...THAT'S GOD AND HE KNOWS ALL
For the first story, I believed him before the tests even came. He was very believable and his emotions, man, I was crying and I was just watching. And while 16 days may not seem long to us, I’m sure it felt like 16 weeks or even 16 months to him, especially being exhausted both mentally and physically.
For sure. He was the first of the adults to fall asleep when all the kids were already in one room. Someone else hurt that little girl and placed her in the room to frame him. Horrifying.
Steve definitely doesn’t understand the differences between 16 days in court for a prisoner v. 16 days for a cop or civilian. First guy bothers me though. He’s mad at things he a). agreed to in his plea both in writing and read aloud to him in open court and b.) was not CONVICTED. He was young sure but his jail time was his own choice. Public Defender did try to help you. She brought you three plea deals, all of which you turned down. One of which was a better deal than you took.
I only knew 1 person in school that tried that and I laid out all the facts of how they'll check and told them what could happen if she's caught lying and that she better be dang sure that she's blaming the right person. Sure enough, she never mentioned it again
Legally the show did nothing. They still have their convictions on their record. They would need something like project innocence to go to court and get the conviction overturned. Some of these cases should be tossed because the cops screwed up. With a minor shouldn't a parent be present when btheyare being questioned.
The man accused for rape at 12 rlly gets me. I can’t imagine spending my whole life in a cell not being able to see my mama throughout my whole childhood and then only getting 2 years with her after I get out. This man has some real integrity and heart. I’d be an absolute menace if this happened to me.
The fact his mom passed, thinking her son did something like that , was probably heartbreaking . And he can't even prove himself to her or clear his name in her mind . Heart shattering
What really should have been a huge clue was that the parents of the girl tried to sue his family and not him. They were fucking racists who used his race as a way to punish these "uppity blacks" in their "pristine white neighborhood." It's honestly disgusting that so many lives were ruined over racism and lies.
The sad part is that the people who are falsely accused for sexual abuse on a child has to spend time in prison while the real abuser is out harming others or the same child
Right. And the fact they don't get no compensation for their life being ruined or anything like that, because at the end of the day, you're still going to have people who still speculate and say that they add Dan dos hideous crimes and as a person who've been in that situation as a survivor of that hideous crime. As a child, I know who didn't and I would never had accuse anyone who did it, and it's so sad that the people who did accuse was probably threatened to accuse them or the ones who lied upon them, the ones who lied upon them should definitely go to jail and pay for their restitution point, we're putting them in jail. You know, I wish that they would make a law like that if you're caught lying about a crime that you would go to jail has to pay for the pay manpower, the time consume time loss and everything, because most of these people do be having jobs and they can't even have those jobs anymore and that's more sad too, because you took away there. Family, their friends, their jobs, their way of thinking, like a month a week a day. In jail will change a person like including when you know when you go to jail for a crime, as much as child endangering of any kind but especially sexual assault of a child, they green like you, you're the first person, they're going to attack, because they don't like people who harm children. Or a woman, most of the time in jail
You think the same courts that put them there would compensate them? That would admit to wrongdoing which our judicial system RARELY does. America has one of the most corrupt systems in the world and people are finally noticing
The mother who sent her son to jail for setting fire to her house. Without hesitation she didn't even consider the possibility that he could be innocent. This lady is despicable. I'm glad she won't be in her grandchildren's life anymore.

It’s still messed up how these kinds of women would lie to put the fathers in prison for things they never did worse thing is these women are hurting the kids the most
That poor man that got accused and jailed for rape at 12-years-old should sue that disgusting family and the police department! Its illegal to question a child without their parent there. I cried when watching that part because my heart broke for him. He was just a kid! 💔💔
Nothing gonna happen if this is a white neighborhood that’s full of kkk then the jurors will be white kkk members and they gonna find the white family innocent
Facts! Poor child lost his childhood because the police didn't want to do their job and just found some poor soul to put the blame on. Our justice system is so flawed. I hope he has come to peace with this and has gained some sort of compensation. I also hope that the people involved with his imprisonment will get repercussions/possible jail time.
@@kezzaward5104yes, yes you can bc that child is an adult now. Really the person who told the child to say that shit should be in prison bc a 5 year old doesn’t know what rape or any of that is unless someone told the kid
The guy who got accused for rape at 12 pulled at my heart strings. He should have never been approached without an adult present preferably his parents. He is very handsome by the way, and I feel sorry for him about his mom passing after he got out. The justice system needs to do better, I know they won't though.
I hope that cop that sent that boy to jail sees this episode to PROVE that he did NOT punch him and faces consequences himself for taking years away from that boy’s life. My heart breaks for all the people who have to go through being wrongly convicted of a crime.
I bet the police KNEW he put a innocent child in jail. Some police are exactly like that,they dont care about anything else then numbers (getting someone arrested for each crime).
I am a grown 37 year old man, and that last story got me in tears. No one wanted to help that man, and everyone who lied on that stand should be held accountable for their actions. It seems there was some racism involved in this case, and its really despicable. I am so glad he proved his innocence, and may he be blessed going forward.
I respect Steve so much for this not only does he go after the wrong doers will also help the ones that have been falsely accused get some type of Justice
Steve was an officer and now helps prove people’s innocence with his show. I wish he’d use his knowledge and influence to make changes of falsely accused people! Fight to make a new law or something. Help people get their false past expunged.
He clear a lot of people's name. But he altso makes sure guilty people are investigated. He is the reason behind a lot of arrest's. The thing is , they are not ALL innocent, and even the guilty one will insist they are innocent. We need Steve to continue clear innocent people,and make the guilty ones arrested. Both sides are important. Some cases sentence innocent, but some times it is clearly guilty people who get to be free,continue their shit. We shouldnt accept any of it.
@@HAZYHEAUX You digress, why? And also ,i dont agree with steve only focus on clearing innocent. He also need to prove the guilty ones/those who manage to avvoid being catched in their crime. He needs to continue doing both sides . Its not like everybody is innocent(even if they swear they are).
I love the first couple, seen the whole story before but you can tell he is just a giant teddy and they are such a gorgeous, strong couple! Absolutely heart touching!! Wishing them all the best for the future!
It truly breaks my heart to see these men cry up here because of the lies of others and a justice system that failed them. I hate that they lost so much of their lives but its amazing that this show gave them an opportunity to clear their name!
I'm proud of him in the first case for coming to face his fears. Don't cry big guy, I believed you when you said you didn't do it the first time. But please never admit to something you didn't do again. You deserve better. God bless you, your wife and family. Now go continue being great❤
Love the way Steve allowed the son to say that stuff to his “mom” I’m also glad he didn’t say any bs like “she’s your mother blah blah blah” no. Instead he said “what do you have to say to your son?” Steve understood the assignment. Thank you for booting her lying, druggin’, drinkin”, deadbeat ass off the stage. 👏🏻
Whoever is convicted and later found innocent should be allowed to sue and also put the false accuser in jail and their children taken people like that have no business raising children
In Japan, the government automatically pays out a settlement if somebody is exonerated. Fat chance of that ever happening in the US. Corporations never do the right thing here when it comes to money. And prison is just another corporation. The prison likely hung a piece of paper over his head saying he had to sign it promising not to sue before they let him out.
I believed the guy in the first story before they read his results. He seemed genuine. Plus his mom died! My mom died a week ago so i feel his pain. In literally in tears. His wife is fucking awesome. She said "i told you i got your back now give 💋 kiss" lol she's great! We need an update asap what happened after they got home? I'm very interested. WHO ELSE IS?
They should, but it won't happen in our society. Feminism has too strong a grasp. With the "me too" movement, everyone is on board with accusing men of rape, even if it's the girl regretting it afterward.
@charleneblack2792 it's not feminism itself. It's the extremists in there that do that. Even multiple feminists I know are very much so against wrongful conviction. I hope 1 day they do implement the accuser getting the jail time for the crime. They're starting to already implement dui drivers that unalive kids when driving drunk to pay child support to the family until the child's supposed to be 18th birthday. So I have faith that 1 day they'll implement that
I commend Steve for taking on stories like these. Especially since he's a retired cop himself. I can tell that his views, convictions, and empathy have changed over the years... He truly is a man who's never too stubborn or too old to change. As we all should be.
For the guy wrongfully convicted at 12, I hope the racists who put them there saw this and felt nothing but crippling shame. There's a special place in hell for them.
This is the best show I've seen on TV. How else can these poor people actually get their story heard and be vindicated? It's heartbreaking to hear how totally their lives have been impacted by their false convictions. Well done for taking this on
The joy on Lamont's face when it came back that he told the truth, warmed my heart.. ❤❤ That man did all that time for nothing. I felt his pain 😢 God bless him!
These stories are so scary... Thinking it can happen to anyone, makes you want to stay in your house and never come out!! And thinking about how many people are in jail right now or lost the kids and there entire lives for something they had nothing to do with! Smh I hope this stops with all of the tech we have these days..
It’s unfortunate the people who do not have the money for legal help , get completely let down. Those public defenders should be prosecutors, I know they have a difficult job with a lot of cases, but this is peoples lives. Sorry to all the innocent people failed by the ‘justice’ system.
I didn't unfortunately my moms ex wife abused me when I was younger and my mom doesn't believe me but at the same time she tells me to move on which is why I wish I could meet Steve Wilkos take a lie detector test so I can prove that I'm not lying and can prove to my mom this happened and can no longer say it didn't happen
Lawyers get a bad rap. But God bless that Lawyer who took on Ricky's case and fought for 14 YEARS for a man he hadn't previously known. And never gave up even after many losses. Wow God bless him ❤ Honestly I wish more was said about him..
The story of ricky kid and the wonderful wonderful lawyer who helped him get justice and didn't Give up on him I have goosebumps and i'm ready to cry to be honest. Honestly Steve wilcos is in talk show category but hes not really just a talk show host. He makes a difference to lots of people he gives them hope. I think jerry springer's in heaven very proud of his protege❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Wow!!! Crazy! #2 just pissed me off! Even after the results, she STILL wouldn't take responsibility or apologize to her son!! The simple fact that he has to pay restitution for something he never did is CRAZY, and if I were Steve and the show, I would have offered to help him pay off that debt! Even if he couldn't pay it all, even just 10-50K could have helped him tremendously.
WHEN A BUNCH OF GROWN MEN GET HIGH , STONED , OR BOTH LEAVE THEMSELVES OPEN FOR ACCUSATIONS OF ABUSE OF ANY CHILDREN , IN THAT HOME . BEING UNDER THE INFLUENCE , YOU DO THINGS YOU WOULDN'T NORMALLY DO . SOME ARE GUILTY BUT OTHERS AREN'T & SOMETIMES SADLY EVEN GO TO PRISON !!! STEVE WILKOS YOU ROCK !!!❤🎉❤
It shouldn’t be a justice system they should make it be a rehabilitation system where they rehabilitate people regardless of the crime committed because anyone can be rehabilitated if they put effort into it. Obviously not everyone will put effort into being better but the ones who do should be offered rehabilitation for release regardless of the crime and have parole/probation for a mandated amount of time yo ensure they don’t relapse or recommit a crime However there are many innocent people found guilty and vice versa it’s messed up
I’m guessing someone set up Lamont to accuse him of rape of a 5 year old girl he went in to sleep there was no one in the room with him no kids he wakes up the next morning and there’s a 5 year old girl in his bed that literally sounds like someone tried to set him up I’m so glad he passed his test and cleared his name
I never thought of that. But now that you say it. So sad. Why would a five year old climb in bed with a stranger on her own. What I originally thought was that since she was only 5, living in a literal crackhouse with men in and out and a mother too high to care.. she was definitely r**ped(per emts) was that after she was assaulted she sought safety wherever she could find it.. even though he was also high, he may have seemed to be a more gentle man than the other "3 or 4 other guys " who were staying there that night. I'm still not sure what the case was either way devasting for all the kids and the innocent man that night 😢
100%. Whoever else was there did it. If a child says they were raped, 9 times out of 10 they’re not lying. This was a set-up and frame job by a racist judicial system.
@@relliej386 I don’t understand how he wasn’t tested nor anyone else in the house or whomever visits for syphillis. Being that he was an addict they knew he would be going through withdrawal and at some point he would break.
Lie detectors should be admissible in court when it comes to proving innocence but should not be admissible for guilt. It’s better 1000 guilty people go free than one innocent person go to prison.
All the stories were touching and all parties are STRONG individuals. Ricky Kidd was GREAT and his wife said something that will always stick….” You let it define you, or you define it!!” 💪🏽💪🏽 It goes hand-in-hand with what Ricky said about making a choice to be “better or bitter!!”
This compilation is a golden example of why capital punishment shouldnt be a thing. So many people railroaded into confessions or being lied on. Its crazy this can even happen.
The moment he began telling what happend i believed he never touched any child and he never would. Im so sorry he went through all this may i hate it for him and everybody that failed to really find out what happend!!! Hope you live the rest of your life in happiness♥️
In the first clip, this man is a prime exampile of just how the court system makes people so miserable and tries their hardest to make you miserable just so you’ll except whatever plea deal they say. Happens every single game day
@22mins this guy....i just wanted to cry so hard hearing the hurt in his voice of all the BS he'd been through all bc his family wasnt shit and how the system played him 12yrs old?! They need to be ashamed of themselves...poor guy😢
Man I feel so bad for this guy and all that he had to endure being convicted of a crime he didn’t do! He said he has ptsd and now he is a sex offender it’s just not fair! That’s time he can’t get back! And just to know that who ever raped this baby is still out there!!!!😡
The third one I believe, the guy who went to jail at 12 for rape, that one legit hurt my heart. The woman should be found and dragged thru the streets and publicly flogged for that. I really hope all of these people are able to have awesome lives after this.
@@zanderisqueenBut here's one thing that I don't understand, If he didn't rape her & she knows he didn't rape her... How come she never came out & told the authorities that he didn't do anything to her???
@@zanderisqueencared to tell the truth??? I find that very hard to believe. Why? Because when I was 17, I was falsely accused by a white girl that I dated. And why was I falsely accused? Because I broke up with her. So, she then told people I raped her & I ended up being chased down the street by a lynch mob in a pickup truck. I ran to the point where I almost had an asthma attack. I ran into the house, locked myself in the bathroom & cried like a baby in a fetal position. Good thing they never knew where I lived & luckily after they failed to snatch me up... My ex ended up telling the truth. I'm 22 now but that shit will forever haunt me bcuz it broke things in me that will prolly never get fixed & every time I think about it... I have nightmares while crying in my sleep bcuz of it. And that is the #1 reason why I stopped dating outside my race for good. And when it comes to false rape accusations... Black men are the #1 targets.
Why does this keep happening? Innocent people being wrongly convicted of crimes they never committed... Its sickening and disturbing... The people who make the false accusations should do prison time
Jailed @12 for rape for TWELVE years 😢that shit broke my heart💔he missed out on SO MUCH a lot of his life was stolen from him he deserves compensation for that shi idgaf.
Just think of how many men are in jail because of the broken system put in place the number is well in the 100,000 plus so sad you can't get that time back
The last Clip the cop could have at least heard you out, but he didn't lie he was wrestling with a guy and gets punched from the side looks up see's you and you run. His POV its one sided. He should have heard you out though too. Im glad you cleared your name you deserve it
Colour of their skin is the problem that needs to stop every one came the same way and every one going the same way we all brothers and sisters love and peace sent to all nations may one day not far away we all live in peace and unit we have to sow that seed we have to change our thinking love is the way.
Just as many white men get wrongfully convicted. In fact, I'd argue that drastically more white men get wrongfully convicted. Don't make this about race.
Wrongful convictions part 2: ua-cam.com/video/VZQQMvEwToo/v-deo.html
He can sue for being accused of something he didn't do. ESPEALLY after doing time for a crime he didn't commit.

You know WHY THEY CONVICTED THAT YOUNG MAN. Not for nothing which as this is so sad, but we all know it's because he's a black man.

*black men
@@jaliareactstv5447You ain't neva lied. When it comes to being falsely accused of shit..... We are the #1 targets.
@@jaliareactstv5447 u ain't lying
the system literally focuses on protecting men
The prosecution is really to plane for this bull shit
That poor man that got accused and jailed for rape at 12-years-old should sue that disgusting family and the police department! Its illegal to question a child without their parent there. I cried when watching that part because my heart broke for him. He was just a kid! 💔💔
Nothing gonna happen if this is a white neighborhood that’s full of kkk then the jurors will be white kkk members and they gonna find the white family innocent
Facts! Poor child lost his childhood because the police didn't want to do their job and just found some poor soul to put the blame on. Our justice system is so flawed. I hope he has come to peace with this and has gained some sort of compensation. I also hope that the people involved with his imprisonment will get repercussions/possible jail time.
@@ShowyAnemone82blame for what? From the story I don't think there was even an assault.
In certain states they actually don't need permission depending on the situation
Every one of these stories just broke my heart. These accusers should be charged with perjury. I hope they’ll clear their records.
Can't exactly charge a 5 yr old for false rape can u
@@kezzaward5104yes, yes you can bc that child is an adult now. Really the person who told the child to say that shit should be in prison bc a 5 year old doesn’t know what rape or any of that is unless someone told the kid
@@josephlilley9249 actually you can't plus kids today know more than most generations before it actually sex ed starts in yr r
The guy who got accused for rape at 12 pulled at my heart strings. He should have never been approached without an adult present preferably his parents. He is very handsome by the way, and I feel sorry for him about his mom passing after he got out. The justice system needs to do better, I know they won't though.
I hope that cop that sent that boy to jail sees this episode to PROVE that he did NOT punch him and faces consequences himself for taking years away from that boy’s life. My heart breaks for all the people who have to go through being wrongly convicted of a crime.
I bet the police KNEW he put a innocent child in jail.
Some police are exactly like that,they dont care about anything else then numbers (getting someone arrested for each crime).
The real surprise for me is that his friend didn’t speak up and say it wasn’t him
@@rswaggz12it wasn’t the friend either… he said some guy
Those people don't care & too many people are falsely accused & imprisoned.
He needs to sue the entire police department there.
I am a grown 37 year old man, and that last story got me in tears. No one wanted to help that man, and everyone who lied on that stand should be held accountable for their actions. It seems there was some racism involved in this case, and its really despicable. I am so glad he proved his innocence, and may he be blessed going forward.
Thank God Steve brought justice to these men. Their dedication and emotions show it all.
What in hell type of court accepts the "statement" from a 12 year old child who had no adult present?
A racist one.
That's what I'm saying! They pretty much manipulated him at that point if we being honest. And since he was only a adolescent... It was easy for em.
The kinds with corrupt cops in the racist south.
Most courts do, 12 is considered old enough to testify. It’s only kids under 10 that have a special advocate
Also it’s the school that was in the wrong. They should’ve called his parents before allowing the cops to talk with him.
I respect Steve so much for this not only does he go after the wrong doers will also help the ones that have been falsely accused get some type of Justice
For the first one, that's so sad. I hope he sues the HELL out of his state and gets a ton of money. So so sad.
Steve was an officer and now helps prove people’s innocence with his show. I wish he’d use his knowledge and influence to make changes of falsely accused people! Fight to make a new law or something. Help people get their false past expunged.
Yes I wish he would too ! He has a big enough platform to do it but I digress 😒
So sad, apparently law enforcement above the law
@@Misty4444Mistywhat?
He clear a lot of people's name.
But he altso makes sure guilty people are investigated. He is the reason behind a lot of arrest's.
The thing is , they are not ALL innocent, and even the guilty one will insist they are innocent.
We need Steve to continue clear innocent people,and make the guilty ones arrested.
Both sides are important.
Some cases sentence innocent, but some times it is clearly guilty people who get to be free,continue their shit.
We shouldnt accept any of it.
@@HAZYHEAUX
You digress, why?
And also ,i dont agree with steve only focus on clearing innocent.
He also need to prove the guilty ones/those who manage to avvoid being catched in their crime.
He needs to continue doing both sides .
Its not like everybody is innocent(even if they swear they are).
For the first story, I actually believed him. I hope he continues to live his life.
I love the first couple, seen the whole story before but you can tell he is just a giant teddy and they are such a gorgeous, strong couple! Absolutely heart touching!! Wishing them all the best for the future!
It truly breaks my heart to see these men cry up here because of the lies of others and a justice system that failed them. I hate that they lost so much of their lives but its amazing that this show gave them an opportunity to clear their name!
I'm proud of him in the first case for coming to face his fears. Don't cry big guy, I believed you when you said you didn't do it the first time. But please never admit to something you didn't do again. You deserve better. God bless you, your wife and family. Now go continue being great❤
23 years in jail.
Cannot imagine how difficult it must have been.
Ricky you are an inspiration.
“Honey wake up! Steve Wilkos just posted another super compilation!”
Love the way Steve allowed the son to say that stuff to his “mom” I’m also glad he didn’t say any bs like “she’s your mother blah blah blah” no. Instead he said “what do you have to say to your son?” Steve understood the assignment. Thank you for booting her lying, druggin’, drinkin”, deadbeat ass off the stage. 👏🏻
Absolutely breaks my heart. Sending respect and prayers for all these men ❤️
Whoever is convicted and later found innocent should be allowed to sue and also put the false accuser in jail and their children taken people like that have no business raising children
They should also get $3,000,000 for each year they spent in prison as compensation.
In Japan, the government automatically pays out a settlement if somebody is exonerated.
Fat chance of that ever happening in the US. Corporations never do the right thing here when it comes to money. And prison is just another corporation. The prison likely hung a piece of paper over his head saying he had to sign it promising not to sue before they let him out.
allowed*
That false accusation against the man when he was 12 made me cry. He should go after everyone he can
I believed the guy in the first story before they read his results. He seemed genuine. Plus his mom died! My mom died a week ago so i feel his pain. In literally in tears. His wife is fucking awesome. She said "i told you i got your back now give 💋 kiss" lol she's great! We need an update asap what happened after they got home? I'm very interested. WHO ELSE IS?
I definitely want an update also.
I think people who lies about big offense like these should be arrested and given the years these innocent people had to do
100% agree!
They should, but it won't happen in our society. Feminism has too strong a grasp. With the "me too" movement, everyone is on board with accusing men of rape, even if it's the girl regretting it afterward.
@charleneblack2792 it's not feminism itself. It's the extremists in there that do that. Even multiple feminists I know are very much so against wrongful conviction. I hope 1 day they do implement the accuser getting the jail time for the crime. They're starting to already implement dui drivers that unalive kids when driving drunk to pay child support to the family until the child's supposed to be 18th birthday. So I have faith that 1 day they'll implement that
Yep.
Yes, hold them accountable.
They wouldn't be so quick to falsely accuse.
Hold them accountable.
I commend Steve for taking on stories like these. Especially since he's a retired cop himself. I can tell that his views, convictions, and empathy have changed over the years...
He truly is a man who's never too stubborn or too old to change. As we all should be.
Our (in)justice system makes me *SICK*. It’s a stomach flipping feeling knowing there are innocent people in our prisons because of peoples ego.
@kayleesykees2789, Amen to that. You hit the nail on the head.
For the guy wrongfully convicted at 12, I hope the racists who put them there saw this and felt nothing but crippling shame. There's a special place in hell for them.
Facts
Racists don't feel shame unless they get consequences
OMG that poor guy charged at12 ! I hope that lady never hurts him! He is so vulnerable
False Accusations stays with you forever it’s not go away
This is the best show I've seen on TV. How else can these poor people actually get their story heard and be vindicated? It's heartbreaking to hear how totally their lives have been impacted by their false convictions. Well done for taking this on
7:46 that’s some real love and commitment 😢😢
The joy on Lamont's face when it came back that he told the truth, warmed my heart.. ❤❤ That man did all that time for nothing. I felt his pain 😢 God bless him!
The girl that falsely accused him should be jailed. The state should give him a million dollars for every year.
They need to take everything from the officers court officials to put this man I play.
This is why we shouldn't jump to conclusions after hearing an accusation or watching a 3 second clip. You could help ruin an innocent person's life.
If I proved I was innocent I'd refuse to pay restitution bc I was falsely imprisoned I'd sue and demand they pay me for all the years I lost
These innocent people should be compensated for the time they spent behind bars .
Its scary to go outside home nowadays, one misunderstanding and your life is over.
These stories are so scary... Thinking it can happen to anyone, makes you want to stay in your house and never come out!! And thinking about how many people are in jail right now or lost the kids and there entire lives for something they had nothing to do with! Smh I hope this stops with all of the tech we have these days..
It’s unfortunate the people who do not have the money for legal help , get completely let down. Those public defenders should be prosecutors, I know they have a difficult job with a lot of cases, but this is peoples lives. Sorry to all the innocent people failed by the ‘justice’ system.
Steve, you are so good. You are a true hero.
For the story about the fire, I kept waiting for Steve to start singing a Billy Joel song. 😂
I had an amazing Mother, shows like this make me appreciate her all the more.
@dadylrhodes4735, Totally agree, total AMEN to that.
I didn't unfortunately my moms ex wife abused me when I was younger and my mom doesn't believe me but at the same time she tells me to move on which is why I wish I could meet Steve Wilkos take a lie detector test so I can prove that I'm not lying and can prove to my mom this happened and can no longer say it didn't happen
Lawyers get a bad rap. But God bless that Lawyer who took on Ricky's case and fought for 14 YEARS for a man he hadn't previously known. And never gave up even after many losses. Wow God bless him ❤
Honestly I wish more was said about him..
Imagine all the men and women accused of lies that are sitting prison, killed or lost everything they worked hard for! 😢
Bless this man I felt his heart and love and knew he didn’t do it xxx bless his heart ❤xxx
Steve you are a amazing individual thank you for getting these stories out and getting some form of justice!!
the first story made me cry, i cant imagine what that man went through
The story of ricky kid and the wonderful wonderful lawyer who helped him get justice and didn't Give up on him I have goosebumps and i'm ready to cry to be honest. Honestly Steve wilcos is in talk show category but hes not really just a talk show host. He makes a difference to lots of people he gives them hope. I think jerry springer's in heaven very proud of his protege❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
YES!! This rocked . All UPDATES
Im legit crying for these people
Wow!!! Crazy! #2 just pissed me off! Even after the results, she STILL wouldn't take responsibility or apologize to her son!! The simple fact that he has to pay restitution for something he never did is CRAZY, and if I were Steve and the show, I would have offered to help him pay off that debt! Even if he couldn't pay it all, even just 10-50K could have helped him tremendously.
WHEN A BUNCH OF GROWN MEN GET HIGH , STONED , OR BOTH LEAVE THEMSELVES OPEN FOR ACCUSATIONS OF ABUSE OF ANY CHILDREN , IN THAT HOME . BEING UNDER THE INFLUENCE , YOU DO THINGS YOU WOULDN'T NORMALLY DO . SOME ARE GUILTY BUT OTHERS AREN'T & SOMETIMES SADLY EVEN GO TO PRISON !!! STEVE WILKOS YOU ROCK !!!❤🎉❤
The justice system puts innocent ppl away and guilty ppl walk away
It shouldn’t be a justice system they should make it be a rehabilitation system where they rehabilitate people regardless of the crime committed because anyone can be rehabilitated if they put effort into it. Obviously not everyone will put effort into being better but the ones who do should be offered rehabilitation for release regardless of the crime and have parole/probation for a mandated amount of time yo ensure they don’t relapse or recommit a crime
However there are many innocent people found guilty and vice versa it’s messed up
my fav compilation yet. people need redemption. especially people that slipped through the cracks of our justice system.
I’m guessing someone set up Lamont to accuse him of rape of a 5 year old girl he went in to sleep there was no one in the room with him no kids he wakes up the next morning and there’s a 5 year old girl in his bed that literally sounds like someone tried to set him up I’m so glad he passed his test and cleared his name
Yeah, he was definitely set up & whoever set him up... Deserves to get they ass beat cuz WTF
I agree. It was a set up.
I never thought of that. But now that you say it. So sad. Why would a five year old climb in bed with a stranger on her own.
What I originally thought was that since she was only 5, living in a literal crackhouse with men in and out and a mother too high to care.. she was definitely r**ped(per emts) was that after she was assaulted she sought safety wherever she could find it.. even though he was also high, he may have seemed to be a more gentle man than the other "3 or 4 other guys " who were staying there that night.
I'm still not sure what the case was either way devasting for all the kids and the innocent man that night 😢
For the first case, I feel like someone else raped her and laid the baby with him to set him up for it
100%. Whoever else was there did it. If a child says they were raped, 9 times out of 10 they’re not lying. This was a set-up and frame job by a racist judicial system.
@@relliej386 I don’t understand how he wasn’t tested nor anyone else in the house or whomever visits for syphillis. Being that he was an addict they knew he would be going through withdrawal and at some point he would break.
Lie detectors should be admissible in court when it comes to proving innocence but should not be admissible for guilt. It’s better 1000 guilty people go free than one innocent person go to prison.
“He said ‘mom I burned your house down’” I DOUBT he said that
All the stories were touching and all parties are STRONG individuals.
Ricky Kidd was GREAT and his wife said something that will always stick….” You let it define you, or you define it!!” 💪🏽💪🏽 It goes hand-in-hand with what Ricky said about making a choice to be “better or bitter!!”
GOD bless you Steve for helping many innocent people seservice jail for things that they never did. Greetings from London UK 🇬🇧
I’m feel soo much sadness for Lamont
Thank you steve.... Thanks for clearing up bogus situations out here...much love
This compilation is a golden example of why capital punishment shouldnt be a thing. So many people railroaded into confessions or being lied on. Its crazy this can even happen.
"Its like screaming Help from a sound proof cell" 😢
I COULDN'T FEEL SORRYER FOR THESE YOUNG MEN , FOR BEING WRONGFULY CONVICTED & LOSING SO MUCH OF THEIR LIVES IN PRISON . 😢❤😢
The moment he began telling what happend i believed he never touched any child and he never would.
Im so sorry he went through all this may i hate it for him and everybody that failed to really find out what happend!!!
Hope you live the rest of your life in happiness♥️
In the first clip, this man is a prime exampile of just how the court system makes people so miserable and tries their hardest to make you miserable just so you’ll except whatever plea deal they say. Happens every single game day
I think Steve should have given the mother a lie detector test and see if she set the house on fire
Man I said the same thang. I was so mad that didn't happen!!!
@22mins this guy....i just wanted to cry so hard hearing the hurt in his voice of all the BS he'd been through all bc his family wasnt shit and how the system played him 12yrs old?! They need to be ashamed of themselves...poor guy😢
Man I feel so bad for this guy and all that he had to endure being convicted of a crime he didn’t do! He said he has ptsd and now he is a sex offender it’s just not fair! That’s time he can’t get back! And just to know that who ever raped this baby is still out there!!!!😡
The third one I believe, the guy who went to jail at 12 for rape, that one legit hurt my heart. The woman should be found and dragged thru the streets and publicly flogged for that. I really hope all of these people are able to have awesome lives after this.
She was a child, it was her parents who did that to that man.
@@zanderisqueenBut here's one thing that I don't understand, If he didn't rape her & she knows he didn't rape her... How come she never came out & told the authorities that he didn't do anything to her???
@@vodoumyers you never know what the situation was like in her home, she might have been too scared to tell the truth, even as an adult.
@@zanderisqueencared to tell the truth??? I find that very hard to believe. Why? Because when I was 17, I was falsely accused by a white girl that I dated. And why was I falsely accused? Because I broke up with her. So, she then told people I raped her & I ended up being chased down the street by a lynch mob in a pickup truck. I ran to the point where I almost had an asthma attack. I ran into the house, locked myself in the bathroom & cried like a baby in a fetal position. Good thing they never knew where I lived & luckily after they failed to snatch me up... My ex ended up telling the truth.
I'm 22 now but that shit will forever haunt me bcuz it broke things in me that will prolly never get fixed & every time I think about it... I have nightmares while crying in my sleep bcuz of it. And that is the #1 reason why I stopped dating outside my race for good. And when it comes to false rape accusations... Black men are the #1 targets.
@@vodoumyers you are forgetting one thing here, some people live in abusive homes.
That last story definitely got me! God bless all involved
Steve should start The Expungement Project for the Wrongfully Convicted. I mean, why not? Somebody should!! 😢
He needed to for protect whole community
Second story that is beyond trifling by ruin her sons life over a lie for nothin
Wasn’t the first story 🙄
The mother probably did it
Why does this keep happening? Innocent people being wrongly convicted of crimes they never committed... Its sickening and disturbing... The people who make the false accusations should do prison time
I'm so grateful for you 😊 I lost one of sons last year and you make me smile every day!
Jailed @12 for rape for TWELVE years 😢that shit broke my heart💔he missed out on SO MUCH a lot of his life was stolen from him he deserves compensation for that shi idgaf.
I think this is one the best shows i hope this can help him. What a great outcome!!
the first one was my fav.. the mother should have taken a test on the 2 show
False accusations ruin people’s lives. The accusers should be held responsible and accountable for their claims
Steve always knows the results. You can tell by the way he questions and talks to innocent ppl vs guilty
Just think of how many men are in jail because of the broken system put in place the number is well in the 100,000 plus so sad you can't get that time back
This whole video hurt my heart…mostly because these people will never get justice
The last Clip the cop could have at least heard you out, but he didn't lie he was wrestling with a guy and gets punched from the side looks up see's you and you run. His POV its one sided. He should have heard you out though too. Im glad you cleared your name you deserve it
Wow I'm glad these people got to come clear their names. It's sad they had to do time for things they didn't do.
Colour of their skin is the problem that needs to stop every one came the same way and every one going the same way we all brothers and sisters love and peace sent to all nations may one day not far away we all live in peace and unit we have to sow that seed we have to change our thinking love is the way.
Just as many white men get wrongfully convicted. In fact, I'd argue that drastically more white men get wrongfully convicted. Don't make this about race.
Steve you make great TV , thank you for that .
This was very sad and I pray they can all move on with their life.
