Its amazing that this type of corrupt so called justice system still continues to happen well into the 21st century!!! They should go and arrest the DA and all who put this man in jail for all those years. Here we had a corrupt president who for 4 years did whatever he wanted to and led an insurrection on the Capitol and still not held accountable but an all WHITE jury decided to put this man in jail for 80 years!!! SMH
The police who withheld evidence should 100% be punished. I can't even imagine the despair you'd feel from being in such a situation. Imagine the vast majority of the memories you've built your entire life are being in prison for something you didn't do.
They don’t mind paying him because the revenue generated from keeping him in prison all these years doesn’t come close to what they’ll possibly pay out..
More than will ever know,... this world is still prejudice! Racism is still being taught, this all boiled down to him being black no matter what some may say. And for all they know the person that did it could have been white but they're so low down and evil and probably knew it and stuck it on him. But people don't realize KARMA is real and HELL is to! And from back then I know it has to be a lot of those people still burning from how low down and dirty they was to our people.
. 44,000,000. its not that hard to become a millionare these days. who us to say he would not have become one. 1million for each year. hes an older man now, make him and his estate wealthy because his youth was taken which he never gets back.
Arch Michael agreed, but after 40 years it is hard to integrate back into society. I did seven years and came out with no education and hard to find a job. He deserves to get paid for all the lost time so I’m he can get on his feet. This has been a issue for the last two hundred or more years and should stop but won’t anytime soon.
@@archmichael3698 44years of INNOCENCE!!!! He should be GIVEN the state of North Carolina and every penny in its treasury. Bullcrap about solutions, black people, it wont apply to us.
1million for each year. because DA committed a crime. it was wrongful unjust, criminal and deliberate, not just wrongful. wrongful implies ooops we made a dreadful mistake. set a precedent! he needs to get paid for real to where his whole bloodline now and in the future does not ever have to worry about cash.
40yrs is a lifetime, what a Shame.!!!! God Bless this man, and let him have peace, happiness, good health, and Prosperity. The state of North Carolina owes him big time.( no pun intended).
How would that hidden evidence not have changed the outcome. It would have proved that this man was innocent to begin with his adult life was taken away from him.
this is how I see it. All of the people who help convict him wrongfully are all getting a pension. if you total all of their pensions together for the month, then that is how much he should get. He or his family should get it for the next 88 years. edit: he should be tax exempt he paid all his debts
Man, if that kind of story doesn't scare the jam out of your jelly - being accused of a crime that one did not commit, and having to spend 1 second in prison for it - even 44 years!!
I'm so ecstatic he was cleared of all charges. Yet, so many innocent people are serving time behind bars for unspeakable crimes they insist they had nothing to do with. I also believe the Death Penalty should be abolished. Imagine when the Justice System executes someone and months later after reviewing the case, they realize they've executed the wrong person.

It is SO VERY VERY SAD how messed up & broken our justice system is ALL OVER THE USA... They don’t care how much time these individuals lose & that they will never ever get the time back. THEY ARE HUMAN BEINGS just like everyone else & they have people that love them just like EVERYONE else. This is why our world is SO broken & filled w/so much hatred. It is heartbreaking... Glad this man is out & can live life. May GOD bless him & his family!!
This is Beyond SAD & WRONG that someone could Do Most of their life in prison for something they didn't do!!! They need to be REWARDED Enough money to live an extragent life for themselves, the family & friends!!! It's a CRIME to take a life away by putting them in prison when they are Innocent!!! MAKES ME SOOOOOO SICK!!!

So are we going to see any charges against the DA and police officers who hid the evidence?? How do they not get held accountable. If I hold someone hostage I would go to jail. Why aren't they?
I truly hope that Mr. Long files corruption charges for every single corrupt official that was responsible for locking him up. They need to be held accountable. From the police who falsely arrested him, to the DA that lied about evidence to the judge that sentenced him. They need to spend 44 years in jail!!!!
oh no i feel like there is fighting to do, heelllo where are these people who didnt do what they were PAID to do! these people need to pay for his LIFE!! WTH
Amen Hallelujah Thank Jesus Christ All glory goes to Jesus!!!!! I am smiling, so happy for Mr. Long!😊❤️ (i turned 1 year old when he was Wrongfully accussed) The TRUTH shall set you free
Thank God for all who helped in his release. Blessings to all of them. Shame on all who took part of this false imprisonment. May God have mercy on your life because one day before God you will have to answer. True and just judgment is coming.
How does this happened, like how...his life wasted. A rapist lived free but. But people don't know why people say BLM i don't agree with the riots, or the violence being done during protests. But this is why, when people say their are Disparities within the justice system this what people mean
This is so common. Here in Mississippi I knew a few guys who was serving long sentences and was innocent. Would cry about it saying that would always plead not guilty. It’s more common than one knows. Especially here in Mississippi
Well.... It is interesting to me that he would hook up with a white woman when he lost 44 years of his life accused of raping/murdering a white woman!!! I personally would not go there. 😬
@@jermainesmith7649 🙏, we will see what happens. Still smh at his choice though.... Ppl are probably saying he is guilty of what he was charged with because he obviously desires white women.
*4:28** The idiot dude reporter's response was gross, I can tell he's the type who sat in the jury 44 years ago and helped to wrongfully send this man to jail.*
I lived in Durham NC for many years, and racism is horrendous there as it is in many places in NC. Broke my heart every day and there was little I could do but be one "white person" who tried to right the wrongs, and show not all white people are the same. I feel for this man. TEARS.
And what happens to the people that wrongfully accused him of this? Are they going to be held accountable? This is disgusting. No amount of money is going to give this guy 40 years that he lost of his life.
Makes me feel sick, ask yourself.....why did it take 44yrs if the evidence was just sittin' there in some file?' 'Cause the evil people who did this thought....we'll take the best years of your life first, then let you go, Nothing's changed in 150 years, all the best Ronnie.
It's always black men who are wrongly convicted ! But we will someday meet our heavenly father and he'll be the one who will give out final judgments to all and it won't be by the color of our skin .
Ok trump let's see if u pardon this poor innocent man, since u good to do it for others. This poor man life was taken away from him. No amount of money will bring it back.
When you lie or omitt, as a legal person of the state, you should pay the fines and if your are dead then your wrong doing should passed down to your kids your kids, grandkids or close friends. Only this will curve the anyone from deliberate wrong doings.
