I believe there are a lot of black men wrongfully convicted in prison. I hate to even think about it. These racist police officers DA's and judges done did this to plenty of men and it's so sad. No amount of money can make up for the time that they lost and for what they had to endure in that prison. I guess the silver lining is thank God it was only 16 years. Some men spent 30 and 40 years in there for a crime they didn't commit.

There are so many innocent people in jail of all different races where the system just wanted to solve the crime that they just didn't care who went down as long as nthey said that they solved it.I believe that when they put someone innocent in jail and they are found not to do the crime I feel everyone involved in the case should do the exact amount of time in jail that the innocent person did. Everyone has rights and should get a chance without a doubt
