Like everybody is saying....I knew it'd be a black man. Makes one wonder how many more innocent black folks are still languishing in prison currently? How many have died without getting exonerated?

That's why I mentor the young african-americans in my community. I tell them the system is designed to get them incarcerated or killed, so they should use wisdom and keep their head down

So you mean decades before I was born, this man was in jail.

Then I grew up, finish school, became an adult, and still man was still in jail. What kind of injustice is this?

What a world.

Deji my guy, na truth 100% you talk o.

Stories like this is common in the US. Some of us laugh when ignorant people that has never left the shore of Nigeria will be telling you about "saner climes".

It's like the way other Africans look and appreciate Nigeria based on what they see in our movies and music videos. The big houses, nice dress, big cars, opulence, the portrayal of abundant wealth etc. And many Nigerians will be wondering, what are they talking about? Is it the same Nigeria or they are discussing another Nigeria?? grin grin
US is not just what you see on movies. The glamour, the splendour, the affluence, etc. There are ugly sides of the USA too. But where they are smarter than us is that they don't denigrate their country for any reason.

It rains and pours everywhere.

Starz825(m): 5:18am On Dec 22, 2023
he was just 22 when he was jailed .....
Now 70.

however, permit me to say, apart from the freedom he didn't enjoy all through those yrs.....he must have had a meaningful life behind bars too...gone to sch, learnt a skill...understands life mysteries...

Things happen for a reason.

Without reading the body of the news, I knew he must be African.
Why is it that such injustices only or mostly applies to black males.

All the prosecutor wanted was a conviction. The prosecutor needs to have his or her certificate posthumously removed.

Research has shown that because the US prosecutor's office is a highly political one, there's pressure for convictions which will increase their political profile.

You are judging from the surface, go read their history.
They were discriminated and marginalized racially which leave most of them to a live of crime and gangsterism, although things are changing over their too, most of them are moving away from the hood.
