Grown men ruining the lives of innocent children is beyond me, I am completely blown away.🤦♀️
I couldn't handle my emotions for an hour, 15 minutes and 18 seconds. I have no idea how he handled 30 years.
Beautiful job to everyone involved! RIP to Willy and the murdered victim.
It’s unbelievable, the things a human being can be forced to tolerate & live with, when there’s no other choice.
Why are there never any consequences for the cops/prosecutors who are directly responsible for these wrongful convictions???
The people involved here can feel so proud, as they seem to be, outside the courtroom as David and his mother walk out together.
Very moving. Such a perfect result!!
I had so many emotions watching this. But when he was finally set free I cried. Praise God
America's justice system is deplorable! How prosecutors who convict innocent people sleep at night I do not know🤷♀️,how they are not themselves put behind bars I also do not know.
These prosecutors are sociopaths who don't feel any shame/remorse for ruining innocent lives.
I've been in the belly of the beast which is the criminal justice system I have no idea how these people survived the ordeal of surviving a wrongful conviction. I don't know if I could survive the heartbreak! Our legal system must do a better job!
It's hard for a guilty person. I couldn't imagine being innocent in serving time in prison.
Heyyy he has me birfdayyy... I'm honored... Glad they gave u ur freedom back... It's a shame that this is the norm for our brethren now a days... Arrested without concrete evidence and convicted by the color of our skin... Even in 2022 we still deal with this type of BS... Stay strong and be blessed 💙💙💙
THE COURAGE,DIGNITY,BELIEFS IN BETTER DAYS,& STRENGTH OF THIS MAN IS SIMPLY REMARKABLE! What a scary thing to go through for just an innocent young man at the place & wrong time. He deserves ALL of the joy & happiness that this world can SHOWER him with. Beautiful soul! CONGRATULATIONS DAVID…a hero doesn’t seem fitting to describe your ambition. We need A MILLION Davids to encounter at one point of lives. Truly beautiful!!! I hope every day brings joy,laughter,& LOVE! God bless🙏🏽❤️❤️❤️🤷🏼♀️💪🏽💪🏽💪🏽
CONGRATULATIONS to all of you! What a story! I wish all of you the best. This needs to be on every television or in every movie theater. There are so many lessons in this one documentary. David Please Don't Touch The Drugs! Fentanyl is in everything and the cocktail called Lean is nothing but juice and heroin. Take Care, Sue them and Live life to the fullest
The sister made me too emotional imagine what the poor mother had to go through to intergrate into society is a new life 😢
I cried during the whole documentary. God bless him ❤❤❤
That was an amazing story!!!
Thanks for watching!!
What a truly inspirational film, so emotional. Ken and Ray you are wonderful human beings ❤
And most importantly, congratulations David, go live your life brother!
Lord this man is inacent. He's my age . I can't even imagine a life this way .
I learned along time ago a beating may last a hour or two but a 20 year sentence lasts maybe 30% of your life so when you decide to confess to a crime you didn't commit then that is on you.
It's also terrifying to realize that the cops/prosecutors don't actually care if they have the right person or not.
I felt this tragic story! 😢the end was Amazing for this bro and his fam, thanks for all the ppl involved 🙏🏿 truly amazing job well done
Just known this happens a lot in America. It is messed up that has my sitting in prison for 20 years for a crime he didn’t commit my heart goes out to him and what impresses me how he’s not angry about it I would hate the Justice system for it
God bless you David and the people who helped you .Hope you have a great future to you and all your family.
He needs to be compansated for his pain 😢😢
Imagine I watched something on Netflix where a white man was paid 155million for compensation and other two respective men on color 50 000 per annum for 4 years and that’s it So compensation wise life can become more horrible for time lost I’m not sure if prisoners are even allowed to study in the US
It's disgusting that the cops and prosecutors responsible for his wrongful conviction will never face any personal consequences.
I've been watching a bunch of these seems to be some are by what state it happened but then again one guy got 9 mil white guy the black guy was in longer was supposed to get more but he was still patiently waiting years later and didn't know if it would ever happen that was ny. Missouri I think is the brewers and brooks cases is only 50k up to 5 years or something even though they were in jail insanely long time for something in sure got them beat in jail. Lot of suffering for people accused of raping a cold I imagine have more suffering in jail and should get compensated more for that idk the whole thing is crazy
Powerful stuff. I lost it when he put his face in his hands as he judge ruled Some beautiful people out there
These court officials are the real demons and these jails are hell on earth.
I am definitely a firm believer, that everything happens for a reason. To bring awareness.
At some point at around 1:00:00 I gave up hope I thought he didn't get out😢 but then at the end couldn't stop crying and smiling at the same time. Thanks for the whole team he wouldn't have been out without your tirelessly efforts👏😀
From Africa I say thank you. What great love can surpass that. You and your team are real saints; goodness still exit seeing what you did for David and his family. It shows how embarrassing justice system in USA and Africa are still backwards and evil. Thanx
Rest In Power. ✨ Rubin Carter
I thank God 🙏🏽 for everyone who was so deeply invested and involved in David's case. They had faith in him. And believed in him.
They also never gave up on him. Even though David had a strong mindset and positive attitude after all these years.
I hope and pray 🙏🏽 he is able to cope with society and deal with Trauma and settle down with a great women get married and have children.
I've been on a kick for days watching these cases. I hope more people get freed and wish I could watch videos on the hundreds that have been so far I haven't been able to find all the full stories
There is nothing more important than to give these people back their freedom. To frame two young boys for the sake of closing a case is unbelievable. How do those cops sleep?
Um. I had to read comments to find out what happened..Couldn't take it anymore...you can have a son now🙏💞🙏💞🙏
I'm a southern gal... I'm the youngest of 5 brothers and 2 sisters. Being in a big family is the best. Wouldn't have it any other way.
I know he's proud to be southern as am i.. He should have never even been snatched up by those corrupt👮♂️. They still around today..
Blessings and prayers for you all 🙏
Look at mana smile🙏
Hickabilly, Tennessee here 🙏💞🙏
Bless you David x
Amazing story 🕊️
YAYYY🎉🎉 I FEEL SOOBAD FOR THIS MAN SHOULD BE A MILLIONAIRE HIS CHILDHOOD TOOKING AWAY CAUSE OF THEM COURUPT DETECTIVES ! They need to do life !
When he's mom was like the doctors said my daughter wouldn't live past 13 yrs old. And she was like I realized later they didn't know what they were talking about.
And the guy interviewing her was like " how old is she now?" She said she 52!
I chuckled, 😅 because that goes to show that God has the last say. Not them.
❤
To police officers, lawyers and judges out there If you are not 100% sure or does not have sufficient evidence please do not act out of pride or egotism or status seeking by putting an innocent man in prison, God has a way of exacting vengeance upon our children and grand children, I know people who are suffering alot and stories has been told of how unjust their parents or grand parents were to the poor and helpless.It's wrong to leave a legacy of curses upon your generation.
😢😢😢😢
All praise be to Allah that you made it through. Your story is mine I know that.pain and that joy of finally being freed. The difference is my conviction wasn't overturned I was released for juvenile life without parole being unconstitutional was resentence and giving parole. May Allah God bless you in your journey of rediscovery and new beginning 🫡🤝🏿✊🏾💪🏾
I hope he got a substantial compensation package.
