Wow!! Just wow!! It's wonderful to see the innocence team gave him his life back. I am glad he got compensated too. Truly happy for him, his family and friends.
A huge thank you to these wonderful people that free people from jail when they truly are innocent. The reason the courts don't want to help people is that they are so afraid of having a law suit to pay for their mistakes!!! Degusting!!!
No one can ever convince me that locking up innocent people isn't the most horrible crime imaginable. FYI, The Fear of Thirteen is an amazing movie about this.
To exonerate is to prove the crime was for the benifits of the state. To Excolpate is to show the condemned is not a culprit. That means no crime was attributable to that person. being punished.
From far away India, you guys restored my faith in lawyers. I always thought they were the worst human beings. Vanessa, Barry and Zoey, thanks for your compassion. 💙
For all of the bullshit damage awards that are given out, I can’t understand why a guy that was proven beyond any doubt to have been framed by a police officer wasn’t immediately approached with a settlement to get him back on his feet. For him to languish as long as he did after being exonerated was another crime altogether.
What a wonderful story about a wonderful man, eighteen years is a long time to be punished for something you never did. I hope that he lives a very,very long and happy life and I hope that the cop that lied and framed him suffers a long time in prison. Thank you to the Innocence Project for helping free wrongfully sentenced people from prison.❤️👍🏻👏🏼😍😁🥰👵🏻🇺🇸
It's shameful that he had to fight for years for compensation and the support he needed. People like this deserve immediate support, financial, health, and support. They also should compensate groups like the Innocence Project. We also need to improve defense for the accused before they're locked up. I'm constantly reading about cases where someone was found to be innocent and their own defense lawyers pushed them to plead guilty or they're so overworked they can't do anything for them.
All The Crime Stories I've watched, I enjoyed. But this story by far is the best I have ever seen! It was heart renching, for a wicked law enforcement to wreck innocent people lives just because he could. What goes around got to come back round.. And to have him end up in jail was more than a bonus for Barry.. Was so Happy for that Special Team of Lawyers / Friends/ Family and The God Send.. They were like truly Beautiful Family to these Hurt People. Vanessa and crew and Oh My Gosh her little sister! What a great reunion for Barry, he really needed all the LOVE ❤ he got from them and not forgetting his Best Friend 👍. Love a Happy Ending 😊 🙏.
I remember Jeanine Ferris Pirro saying that 10% of people in jail should not be in jail due to the fact that 5% are innocent and the other 5% had bad legal representation. Wishing Barry all the best and he got true justice 🙏
This is brutal. I'm not sure I could recover like Barry has, I probably would have just ended it quickly. What did my head was the brief mention of the number of death row inmates proven innocent. Innocence shouldn't need to be proven, guilt should, and picturing they'd been killed before being exonerated.
The first thing I would like to say to all lawyers for the innocence program thank you guys so much because a few people actually have a shot at life I’ve been been wrongfully convicted.
What an amazing journey you survived and had the wonderful people from the innocent program. I praise you for survival of 19 yrs in jail, due to another corrupt cop. No oversight as we have police here in 🇨🇦 Canada who are wearing the Thin Blue Shield. 😥
Absolutely tragic that he lost two decades of his life. He might've been married, had kids, helped someone etc. Hopefully his time there has helped others. So tragic and what a BLESSING to have the Innocence Project!!! The police dept/city absolutely should have been required to give him millions as well as provide any psychological and/or physical health needs he may have. Also, "family" is often not something you are born into. The best family is the family that chooses you and is there for you. You can feel the hearts of the Innocence Project lawyers.
Why is this case not surprising.... imagine how many people have been jailed for the incompetence of police. These type of cases are more common then not just saying.
I can't think of a more important organization than The Innocence Project. Eye witness testimony absent forensic evidence should never be admissible. Neither should prison snitch testimony.
I can’t think of a more terrible turn for your life to take, an innocent person whose best years of his life taken. And to be let out into an unfamiliar world where your family is gone. Not been given any I.D. to leave prison with and no government support system. Godbless this man, his one friend and the others that stepped up to help him
This story just shocked me a innocent gentleman locked up for a crime he didnt commit what's wonderful is that the innocence team stood by him and gave him his life back but he shouldn't of been in a cell in the first place Im really pleased he was compensated but it should of been in the millions
NO.You are niave to believe that .Bad things happen to Good people.Did you not learn anything from watching this.There are no doubt hundreds of good and innocent people that will stay in prison until the day they die.Sad but so very true
There is no karma otherwise these people wouldn't be in prison.And you're going to say it's perhaps karma from a previous life ...... I have much doubt over that belief
Unbelievable in so many ways, I hope you are still enjoying your life Sir, you deserve it. I'm sure glad that scumbag cop is doing his porridge now, I hope he suffers every single day. It is heartwarming to think that there is genuinely decent people out there. Well done to the guys from the Innocence Network 👏 👍 👌 I don't often get emotional at these things but I sure did shed a tear for the big guy 👍 😢
Parole boards don't want to hear that you're remorseful. They don't care if you're remorseful or not. They just want to make sure you agree not to try and dig anything else up about the case. Because if it's found they screwed up somewhere that's a payout to you. If you goon parole you have to admit to the crime and waive and right to sue even if new evidence is found.)
Sorry but if they are wrongfully convicted and were innocent then the government should repay them the salary they would have earnt whilst being wrongfully incarcerated.
My heart pours out to Barry for the horrendous evil cast upon him. I have always loathed corrupt politicians and beaurocrats, and especially crooked cops.
At 19:40 the guy says that the government say the lost evidence was in a fire,in a flood and lost .If it's lost how would they know it's in a fire that then got flooded.I actually think the guy saying this is lying/exaggerating about this .Was it in a fire,a flood, both or are you just bullshitting
Why are these attorneys not demanding change and safeguards within the judicial process that would lessen if not stop innocent people being convicted . 1st ALL innocent people released from prison should be able to sue the state/city as well as any prosecutors that withhold evidence that would exonerate a person.... and any law enforcement agencies/officer that hid or planted evidence. 2nd DAs that are making under the table plea deals should be charged and convicted of a crime..... and ACTUALLY RECEIVE LENGTHY JAIL TIME ..... We as a society have to demand change where the actual victims see justice and restitution.... Big Pharma- Big Corp- Corrupt Elites- Corrupt Cops-DAs and Judges... Corrupt Drs... I can keep going but the point is it time the corrupt system is burned to the ground.... and a new system put in place
I believe in the system. I've also seen the system fail nope not going into it but I am so glad that the looking into a few and hopefully keep a eye out ,not to get out any monsters on their way everybody has a right to Justice. And for the man involved I am sorry.
i don’t watch this stuff my grampa says it’s depressing and detrimental to my well being, happiness and development. you can’t make me watch it either. 👉🙈🙉
