I'm with you on that 💯 my heart breaks 💔😣 ,not only for our brothers out there but our sisters as well Serving time for something they never took part in or never even had the thought cross their minds to get themselves locked away from the world. I pray for all who are suffering behind the bars or steel doors Serving time for nothing 🙏🏼🙏🏼💯‼️‼️‼️🌹
@@orvileknox3130 The Indian reservation system established tracts of land called reservations for Native Americans to live on as white settlers took over their land. So that history Shouldn't even exist.
So, y'all know there are people in jail for crimes they didn't commit! This brother suffered for 44 years? How do you give him back what was stolen from him?
Been locked up since 1976 for 44 years and they award him 750K. He should be in there re-suing them. He should be pressing charges on everyone that represented that case and planted the bold evidence and opening up a whole new lawsuit.
Most if not all of those people are probably dead which is a shame. I really wish hell does exist because it would be the perfect resting place for them.
No evidence and yet he still went to prison? "Thou shalt not bear false witness against thy neighbor" To the woman that falsely accused Mr. Long of rape, may God have mercy on your soul
17k a year isn't shit to live on and they stole his entire youth away where he had a chance to work and build a life to retire on. They keep him for 44 years and then say "Sorry, we got it wrong, good luck!" and that's it...nah, that can't be it. Tbh, heads should be rolling starting from the first officer who decided pin this on him, he should sue them all.
It is very difficult to keep one's faith in humanity after one hears about stories like this. My blood genuinely boils when I see innocent people suffer at the hands of injustice.
The ones who arrested him should be charged with a crime,the city for not doing a internal affairs investigation,state prosecutors,The Judges who took his freedom and years of his life that can never be replaced.
I never watch anything like this and refuse to watch this story !!!!! As a black man who spent 14 yrs in prison for $200 worth of crack and a firearm , I have witness grown men break down and cry saying how they were frame for rape , murder etc !!!!
They need to give him a brand new home , car and paid up life insurance policy . No land taxes . Also $ 200 .00 week for groceries . A life pension of $ 5000.00 month . Then maybe GOD will have mercy on they soul .
This is beyond sad, they only gave this man $750k for ruining his life, basically that’s 17k for each year he was behind bars. This man had a good job at the time of his conviction that if he would have still been there today he would of made way more, his mom and father passed while he was In there which was his only support team his mom actually died 30 DAYS before he was released, his fathers last words were tell RONNIE I tried to do everything in my power to get him out , and you mean to tell me he supposed to be SATISFIED with $750k don’t get me wrong that’s a lot of money BUT NOT IN HIS CASE HE LOST EVERYTHING!!! And came home to no parents. Hopefully they didn’t tax the money🤦🏻♀️
That was my 1st thought; they're going to take half in taxes. I understand our legal system isn't perfect; there's no way for it to be. However, the fact that he was convicted while they withheld massive amounts of evidence is absolutely outrageous. My heart breaks for this man. I just turned 40...I can't imagine having wrongfully spent 44 years behind bars.
An innocent black man has no chance of a not guilty sentence with an all white jury, and a white judge. This man went through hell and will never get that time back.
Reminds me of those posts on facebook. Would you stay a night in a haunted house for a million dollars. This guy stayed 44 years in a haunted house. A place at night where you can hear the faint screams of ghosts. And he didn't even get a million. Justice was clearly not served here.
How many of our childrens are in this very circumstances. If we unite our support we could help them. Break it down $1500 a month for his lost and his life is not sufficient.
Starting at 6:26 if you're not PARTICULARLY moved by that moment (both news reporters and Mr. Long) as he he describes his current situation after having been released.....Wow.....
This shows how stupid we are as a people. To see know and see that, after being proven innocent with evidence of wrongdoings of people in authority, then the victim is not automatically pardoned and compensated for it, show how dumb we are as a people voting for corrupt politicians to continue with wrongdoings. Why must beg the governor who was DA before and knew very well of this corrupt case for his freedom. It is time the laws are changed and the immunity of Judges, prosecutors, and police officers are taken from them as well.
There r so many innocent ppl sent to prison all the time. I was made to plead guilty to an assault i didnt do , or sit in jail and wait for a trial. I waited 7 months and still no trial. I called my lawyer and told him to get me into court. I lost my home, clothes, a marriage and truck, everything stolen. I had nothing, i mean nothing left. My bont was out of reach so that was it. Everyday this goes on in this country. It falls on deaf ears. Its very very bad. The usa leads the world in licked up ppl.
This man should not have to ask for anything such a debasing story my heart aches for him, if this man doesn't pardon him ,we as the people need to REMOVE HIM FROM HIS SO CALL DUTIES, look at all the innocent lives these people have taken away and not showing any remorse, AND ER AS THE PEOPLE CONTINUE TO LET THEM
Every person seeing this story should send mr. Ronnie $100 each. That would put the government of the state of North Carolina to shame hopefully. It could easily amount to 100 million dollars. That way this man could enjoy his life a little bit better , the life that was taken from him by the government of the State of North Carolina.
I can imagine because i lived it through my 28 year old son who was accused of agg asslt, by a female he met on plenty of fish who was in her feelings because he didn't want a relationship with her. Unfortunately he was found guilty even though his attorney knew he wasn't guilty and sentenced to 45 years in prison. the judge said she was gone give him 45 years to think about it. his attorney assistant was against my son from the start which makes me wonder if the whole lil law office was against my child. he had trial from 06/25/2018 to 06/30/2018, for july/august he was in the county jail, from there he went to a transfer unit for about 35 days, then was sent to another transfer unit on september 25,2018 and on Oct. 2nd we got a call from the chaplain sayin my son was dead. and he said the gaurd who found him was so messed up about what was seen, they tried to send that person home but that person didn't want to go home. i was told by the chaplain my child was sitting on the floor against the bed with a towel on his chest like it was just threw there, then I was told the I.A. would do a full investigation and all I was told then that he hung himself with a sheet which is different than what I was told by the Chaplain who called ME an hour and thirty minutes after my son past. he was in that unit for 6/7 days and was dead. it's now 2021 and I'm still being told the same story, and also the Chaplain supposedly don;t work there anymore without any forwarding info neither does the warden. There is a lot of People WHO are wrongfully convicted by professional people and it's a crying shame for those that truly have to suffer and loose time with family, friends, children, and for what? cause somebody told a lie and somebodies are always quick to convict a person just because they all on the same tune, not knowing that this individual is truly innocent. it's a tragic sadness people have to suffer for what someone else did. Blessings too this Man who was set free and the truth finally came out, Bless him and his family. They have a lot of time to catch up on. I'll never see My Son Thomas again, only in My Dreams and even that's a Blessing in itself. My apologies for a couple of paragraphs, I got in My feelings when I saw this wrongfully convicted person.
This America that we live in. Has murdered Mr. Long. They took his life legally. The years of pain he still wears. No amount of money can give him back his life. If it was me. I WOULDN'T want to be out. My life was spent in prison. May God continue to bless Mr Long
This country is DEFINITELY not the land of the free. This system is catastrophic. It needs to be destroyed n rebuild again. Good luck n finding happiness nd I truly wish u da best. I'm sorry u had to go through this my brother. Them dirty dogs will get whats coming to them
Shame and condemnation on this ungodly, wicked land that did this to many. He got more time than robert tyree castleberry, who raped two of my cousins in georgia plus another girl plus small animals.
The ones who hid evidence should be in prison. Detectives too. She needs to be imprisoned also.
She definitely has too go to prison first.
She's dead.

To the woman that falsely accused Mr. Long of rape, may God have mercy on your soul
THIS BREAKS MY HEART. This man will never be the same again.
Imagine how many more are still stuck behind bars due to this.
Jurors need to see ALL evidence....this has to change
The American Nightmare is the words Mr Long stated in an interview Black Man kept his head and got his freedom. ✊🏿✊🏿✊🏿✊🏿✊🏿✊🏿
This man should never want for nothing for rest of life🥺
All the ones who wrongfully accused him need their life stolen..the rest of it anyway..GOD will prevail...
Does he have a Go Fund Me account? He needs one.
Yes he Does By Ashley Long his Wife Started it
They like to see us broken, broken but not shattered, keep the faith Ronnie.

Cases like this are fraudulently done
They didn't care,just wanted to charge someone for the crime,and wasted tax payers money not doing what they were suppose to.

The Governor should make it top Priority and immediately pardon this man
I never watch anything like this and refuse to watch this story !!!!! As a black man who spent 14 yrs in prison for $200 worth of crack and a firearm , I have witness grown men break down and cry saying how they were frame for rape , murder etc !!!!
The woman liar is also guilty.
'' Is my son back yet'' his mom asked before she died, it's heartbreaking 💔
The woman who was a victim and decided to falsely accuse this man in turn victimized him.
Child rapists don't get this kind of time why is this
They need to give him a brand new home , car and paid up life insurance policy . No land taxes . Also $ 200 .00 week for groceries . A life pension of $ 5000.00 month . Then maybe GOD will have mercy on they soul .
I don't know how people sleep at night. "Sinister"
He needs more money than that.

Put the white women that lied on him in jail when she makes it to the after life because a lie is a lie period.
Why didn't he sue the court and get paid for wrongful conviction??
He was just freed a month ago. Civil suits take time.
Go back and listen to the recoding🙄
This is completely fucked up. And the woman even lied till she died the detectives DA completely stole his life. .
i can tell hes tired of stuggling this shit is sad man
Yes his soul is tired fighting you can tell, Father God heal and deliver this man.

Pardon? He should be given a complete Not guilty finding! He has been proven innocent!
I’m glad I wasn’t raised in the south. To much has happened down there to minorities and still happening!!!
Who is the judge? Who are the crooked cops? Are they still alive? Name them all as criminals because that is what they are. Name them as criminals.
All-white jury? A situation that would be rare to find today-Those days are gone
They won't pardon him even though he is innocent..
This goes to show you that racist is still healthy in America...
Yup. F**kin' BS!!
That poor man deserves 44 million dollars. Who was his fucking attorney that only got him 750 thousand dollars?
They should pay him 3,000 every month for the same amount of time he was wrongfully convicted
5,000,000 as of fact he deserve 10,000,000 dallors
