Fighting Wrongful Conviction: The Innocence Project 

"Clearing innocent people defines the correct way that the Scales of Justice balance Equal when Justice is described as being blind!"_-Van Prince

edwin cooper dnt. It’s going to take all of us t o help and make this thing right

Yes

OJ Simpson was guilty but he had the best lawyers in the world=lawyers created a reasonable doubt in the case=Acquittal!!!

Those lawyers knew OJ was guilty, but under law all they have to do is create a reasonable and being the best legal minds in law they did that and=Acquittal!

There are thousands of blacks in prison with Life Sentences and some with the Death Sentence for murder and they had less evidence against them as opposed to more evidence that they had on OJ. OJ was wealthy, famous and had the best lawyers in the country and he got away with murder, but in the Civil Case the same lawyers didn't represent him and he lost that case (remember?)!

Van Prince yes I understand American Blacks are in prisons over nothing like have a joint believe me I hate what they did in the 90s with Clinton’s law all of them should be released and I think it will happen I believe in my heart OJ Simpson was framed and I’m happy he got out but I’m really angry at how everyone won’t even let the guy make some money others in jail who murderef children like Gacy sold art did what he wanted why can’t OJ Simpson have those same rights why it’s should be same justice for everyone God bless OJ everyone turned backs on him the greatest football player in America and no one stands up like they should and give him a break it’s disgusting to me

@@moonstar9861 There are some who indeed need to be in prison and there are always cells for dangerous prisoners, but many are receive too much punishment. And as a paralegal who do post-conviction work for prisoners I've discovered that only 10% are actually innocent, 75% received more time to serve compared to the crime they committed, and 15% were sentenced in accord with the crime (s) they committed.Their isn't an equal balance in the criminal judicial system in reference to those charged with crimes. Moon Star thank you for having the mentality to understand what is going on in America's criminal judicial system!

Get a OJ autograph. He needs gods help.

Michelle Baker Did your brother get released from prison?

@@williamjames212 - I was wondering the outcome as well....here in 2019

Michelle Baker- There is ALWAYS DNA in one form or another......No human being can commit a crime that involves physical contact with another person and NOT leave some form of DNA behind. It's just all about how far technology has gotten at the time to reveal that. Which In my opinion is a good thing because it helps to prove innocence when people have been convicted by circumstantial evidence. In particular the use of eye witness testimony has been shown to sway a jury towards a verdict of guilt even though eye witness testimony has also been proven to be unreliable , inconsistent and ever changing. However , juries comprehend this as a sort of "seeing is believing " kind of truth. What are your thoughts on this and can we get an update on your God brother please?

@@nikkis.3680 All cases do not consist of DNA evidence!

You need to file a petition for writ of habeas corpus or a petition of actual innocence if your direct appeal process is over-

The main thing that may be able to free you is the initial police report that usually contain all truth, but the police and prosecutor hope the ones they charge don't request it. But you must be confident and think, but from your story here they don't even have enough to go to trial and they will offer a plea bargain and then you know they are on a witch hunt!

I have the discovery.. my pretrial was for June 16th My father Flew in from New York and I flew in from Florida where I live and my lawyer tells me as soon as I land in Okc that they messed up the dates and it wasn’t updated correctly because of the covid. I had severe anxiety the week up until I got to OKC because I’ve been waiting for this day for almost 2 years. There is no evidence. And now I have to pay again for another flight take off work spend more money on Hotel then have severe anxiety because people tell me even if your innocent you’ll never get cleared Scott Free because I heard from my lawyer the value in the millions of what was in the car I had no fricken idea I was in the car with shit inside the wheel or wherever they found it. They lied to me and said it was going to the car dealership the guy owned I’m guilty for being stupid and going in a car with people I didn’t really know but . My life can’t go forward. I’m in the middle of the ocean ... and I can’t see land and I hate not knowing if I’ll ever see the shore. God please Help me sorry for venting again this is my life and I’ve never been in trouble before and they told my lawyer 9 years or something I said I’m not doing 9 seconds I’m innocent . I’ll die before I ever step foot in a jail cell again. I’d rather die

If I had any information I’d happily give it I have no loyalty to anyone . All I can give are the facts of what happened prior to arrest. Detail by detail but they never really asked me all the details

If one is tricked into committing a crime or committed a crime without knowing it, that person had no intent to commit a crime, and to prove intent beyond a reasonable doubt the burden is on the prosecutor. The prosecutor don't care that you passed a lie detector test because its inadmissible in court. Law enforcement officials are taught in college that never believe a suspect unless they admit to the crime. A fair prosecutor will use the results of a lie detector that says you are innocent but to find a fair prosecutor is akin to finding a needle in a haystack and a diamond in the rough. So being innocent and with an effective attorney you have a chance to win the case!

Thank you Van Prince so Much
