Kevin Strickland freed after 43 years in prison: 'I didn’t think this day would come' 

@Giancarlo, Exactly!! It’s disgusting!!!!!!! SMH

😭😭😭🙏

It's not over , the living GOD have the last word , and everyone who participated cowardly has to respond, injustice lies desonesty .our LORD JESUS CHRIST is coming.

The Wicked Demonic Dirty Proud Savage Barbaric Greedy Corrupt Hateful Whites is what's Going On. Haven't You Witnessed anything?

@Dirty News STFU liar u should u go to prison for spamming lies.

Not even video evidence can save POC in America… free all Black men!

@DirtyNews dude go away. Your not funny

@Dirty News let me guess you're a independent reporter 😆

@Dirty News she deserves to be conviced and root in jail😡 I hope she will be brought to justice!

I wonder if the judge is still alive, if so he has hell to pay, and whatever comes to him, whether it be monetary repercussions or otherwise, i won't feel any sympathy for.

Not as rare as you might think

@@alyciamarie4163 Unfortunately.

@@COJY06 True, America's justice system is a disgrace.

He should literally get to walk into any store and buy whatever he wants for free, live wherever he wants, and go wherever he wants. The justice system owes this man 43 years worth of joy during the 20 odd years he has left. So sad man…

I would advise him to file a lawsuit, have a separate gofundme for court costs, and make them pay hard. Judges should not have protection in cases that have no substantial evidence, they should be locked up, this was not just a mistake, it was a racial assumption with no substantial evidence that took away most of the man's life. I wouldn't even know what to think in his shoes, i would probably move to a different country after that experience.

Because he cannot prove his innocence, other words they still don’t believe him

@@Sook995 Maybe they decided to find a way to acquit him as he poses no threat whiles in the wheelchair.

One day justice will find its way in this very country USA. No justice for coloured ppl but remember u wht ppl on stolen land tears sweat and blood stain. U will pay dearly. Look up its time.killing of innocent. . An unseeing eyes watching from above

He should get 1 million a year.

That's the worst thing. 43 years with nothing to show for it

Everyone please donate to his GoFundMe, I did.

@@elizabethbrazel9162 Karma

@E Double He spent 43 years in prison so they are saying he should receive 43 million. You're reading way to far between the lines.

Still not enough.

Maybe he can sue the woman that lied

Kim Jones she’s dead 🤦‍♂️

Amen

They are most likely dead

Robbed & no compensation. They state should support him 100%, where is he going at his age & ill.

It's true.

And that's the least they can do really

Yes exactly he shouldn't have to anyways

He is millionaire through GoFundMe

Very well said.

Indeed. I've lived in Missouri for almost 20 years now, (most if it in jackson/clay co.) and I had NO IDEA that the state wasn't obligated to compensate for something like this. This mans been in jail almost my whole life, and I have GRANDKIDS. That's a sad realization for me.

@@mistyize I wouldn't be shocked if the no obligation thing is a thing that's been embedded into the state during slavery days.

@@amaankhanofficial1534 Hi! I went to the site you posted but, ( call me ignorant ) as I'm "old school", I don't understand the concept. I'm thinking it's a video game that may have something to do with ... Justice??

He was wrongfully accused. The system didn't do this a witness did. Listen to the story again. She recanted her testimony. That's why he was released.

I think at one time he was bitter but he probably just let it go because it was making him feel worse. I cannot imagine what he's been through.

even if he was bitter...so?

Yeah they could have given him a day pass u think? Omg sad asf.......

How many more black people in this same sad sad moment and in lockups for nothing wickedness God almighty go look in every lockup and free up the innocents people what a wicked set 😱 🤔 😳 😳 but God will repay the wicked dem what a big sin

@@jenniferedwards6782 yeah thats so sad to know there are innocents out there behind bars, in Islam there is no difference between a black and white person, God only looks at our hearts and deeds ❤️😢

@@islamispeace3919 that's true but in America the system was geared against the Black in particular. In 1641 three indentured servants ran away.. Two ""White" and one "Black". When they were captured the judge sentenced the two 'Whites" to an extra year I'd servitude, but sentenced the "Black" to life. In 1656 a Slave woman named Elizabeth Key Grim stead won her freefom in court because although her mother was of African decent her father was European and under their law the child's status was based upon the status of the father and not the mother. The other thing in her favor was that she was baptized Into Christianity. After that ruling the legislators began working to change the laws and put new one in place over the next several years. One law was that claiming Christianity would no.longer be a passport to freedom. Another stated that if you were from a non Christian country and that if you were Molatto, Negro, Moor or Indian that you could be enslaved. And you were legally viewed as property and could be inherited just as if you were land or cattle or whatever kind of property left by the deceased. They also passed laws stating that the owner could not be held liable if he damaged or even killed his property. In 1857 the courts ruling on the Dred Scott cased made it clear that those of African origin were not, never were, and never could be a citizen of any state in the Union.( Keep in mind that was prior to the civil was in America). Later after the war discriminatory laws were put in place that were geared against Blacks in particular. Especially the Jim Crow laws in the South. Keep in mind that while Europeans came to the Americas on the May Flowers Enslaved Africans were brought over in chains in Slave ships. And because Slavery was legal, an entire group of people found themselves selves at odds with the law just by refusing to submit to an unjust system. In the Qur'an ALLAH swt says that oppression is worst than Slaughter. H.Q.2:191 also Muslims are told to fight oppression until it is no more. The two main reason to fight is against Aggression H.Q.2:190 and Oppression H.Q.2:191-193. And although the Religion of Al-Islam does not support racial discrimination. There are still ignorant people who call themselves Muslim s yet they still practice discrimination based on race and color and class etc... Prophet Muhammad pbuh had to deal with it during his life time and so do we today. As Salaamu Alaikum!!

will he still be able to sue

@@chrissinger101 yes. He can still sue. He can sue in federal court. He can sue in state court under unjust enrichment for the money they made off his working for 43 years. There are tons of things he can still sue on. He just needs to find good representation.

@@uria702 i see like some states just automatically gives u money if there in the wrong, but thats just a minimum and can still sew for more got it, ya i have noticed if they get prosecuted really recklessly there more likely to get major money!

@@uria702 he gots a mill and a half so far from gofundme!!!!!!

Totally agreed, they should be sued and he should win. These authorities are pathetic.

Home where??

Your forgetting he was wrongfully accused then she recanted her testimony. But she had died. The DA said the recanted testimony she felt was legitimate. Listen to the report again.

@@lifeasReno Sounds like false memory aka the Mandela effect?

@@lifeasReno What no one is forgetting is they convicted him on no evidence....when he had an alibi and zero evidence...something that would never happen to a white person~

What could be a better example of a system that knows it is willfully ignorant and corrupt, than the fact that they passed legislation to not have to compensate the people they fked over for life !

the governor of missouri should be doing time a long time in prison if that was me I would have a chat with the so called governor.

I'm southern (Tennessee) and I'm ashamed of the way this man has been treated. IT IS WRONG!!

Charge him.

@Dirty News you're a troll, for that link smh

Horrible. To put and keep this man locked up crimes were committed.

That governor should quit out of shame.

Man that broke my heart. This man deserves to be paid for the rest of his life from the state. It’s sickening that he’s not getting compensated by the state after losing most his life to this corrupt system.

This country was built Broken and now we're seeing it unfold

That's heartbreaking.

It was truly heart aching to hear.

Facts!

They won't though

Absolutely they should.

He can’t sue the state but he should be able to sue her.

@Dirty News she should be brought up on charges

Why would she do that? Who was it?

Hello Sheila how are you doing and the weather there?

@Coco Morena no she means people (especially the pathetic Missouri Law System) should compensate his go fund me page. It's the least they could do after robbing him 43 years of his life.

@Coco Morena your blatant racism is showing

@Dirty News i just don't freaking understand what the point is of accusing an innocent man of such thing

Dog isn't here

@@herpaderp-bp4pe not only have they failed him but they failed the Missouri people because they let a triple murderer walk the streets all because they wanted to see a black man in jail.

A slave state? Anything to hurt you if it will keep you down?

They r purposely doing it for the innocent incarcerations they know they have...will bleed their system financially. Mfrks.

If you really believe he is innocent you should give him some of your money.

@@charleslampley8691 And you came on here to say that because???????

Hello Kelly how are you doing and the weather there?

That's according to their own rules of compensation, a lawsuit for false imprisonment is different.

Not even video evidence can save POC in America… free all Black men!

That's so sad

Those assholes if they didn't commit the fucking crime they are innocent.

Start a go fund me page for him please!!!!

Try to be in his mother’s shoes and imagine how agonizing it must be to see her innocent son in prison for rest of her life! It makes me cry too.

Half his life? Try most of his life. He's 62, he was what? About 19.

They haven’t paid him anything. He did have some great people donate $900,000.00 on his go fund me account but damn to me that isn’t enough, I’d want the judicial system to compensate me and I wouldn’t stop until I exhausted all means. The not seeing his mother is the kicker though, who wouldn’t let a man see his mother.

The woman that lied is responsible for this

Crooked country.

The justice system is a joke. Canadian, American, French. Systems in society are against laws of nature and are anti humanity.

He’s an evil s.o.b. Karma is real. God bless Mr. Strickland.

I’d buy him a whole, refinished house, give him a world tour vacation, never have him work again, just let him enjoy life…

What the hell do they mean he can't get compensation if he can't prove he's innocent? They obviously have enough proof that he's innocent since they released him after initially claiming that he had killed people. Literally makes no sense.

I believe the person(s) who did it, went to prison & were eventually released.

@@dw3998 I know. I found out afterwards. So sad.

He will get compensation. You can’t lock up a free man and expect “he’ll get over it”

Now he has to get an attorney to sue just to get the money that is due him.

Ikr... I was only 1yr old when his FREEDOM was taken ... so Sad!

IKR...I was thinking that, too...I Wasn't even thought of 43yrs ago...

Even if time had stood still for him physically and he didn't age and was able to run and move he would still be way behind because the whole world has "moved on" since the 1970's. He hasn't even been with a women in almost 1/2 century. Probably socially awkward not able to understand the new gender battles the food taste way worse now then it did in the 70's especially all the "fastfood" joints that he probably remembers, The busses don't run as punctual! Computers,video games, Netflix all these streaming channels black feminism, so many different changes and he's going back to them with no ability to walk and no money no wife, kids nothing! May The Most High guide,protect and provide for this man!

And all the other families that had to go through this

Still won’t bring all the years of his life that was taken away from him

He'll spend it on crack & a record label.

Guess who will not pardon him the CREATOR.

@@gwadkarukera - HAHAHAHA! Your imaginary sky-daddy? According to "popular beliefs" of theists, it/gawd _would_ pardon the wrongly-convicted man, because it's into forgiveness, right? Oh, yeah, but also punishes selectively, too.

@@leroylindsay7654 Yes, it was founded on racism.

@@leroylindsay7654 Maybe, but this was in the south during the late 70’s where I’m sure there was still heavy racism and bigotry there.

@@RB01.10 you say “maybe this was the south in the 70s,where I’m sure there WAS still heavy racism and bigotry” as if it’s been eradicated! Sorry there is no maybe about it.

Ryan,DNA testing has come on leaps and bounds in the last 10 to15 yrs around the world,yet it seems with what your saying,just not in the states..pls! context you say I wonder if you know this..at his trial,the court heard evidence from the witness box that it wasn’t him,and the court was given the name of the person who committed the crime. They stole that man’s life,because they could Like I said to its core

not because of his color? … of course you had to mention “color” you ppl make me sick.

Well it should have to do with color because his conviction surely did

How you know?

RODNEY REED served 20+ years for a crime he didn’t commit either. My grandma and grandpa were friends with him personally. Everyone in Austin TX around that time knows the truth too. Sickening
