Fantastic! I signed a petition for a friend trying to help them from being convinced bc I believed their innocence. She was close friends with them and she knew they didn’t do the crime. I trusted her and she was right. Police do your job and stop convicting the wrong people 🙄 Happy for them and so sorry it took so long. Happy to see this on YouTube ❤

Idc what race anybody is blk, white, Asian etc It should NOT always have to take 25yrs plus for them to figure out if somebody’s innocent or not when it only take seconds to arrest you n minutes to convict & sentence you. When this happens the cops & prosecutors should be charged with a crime. Cops for lying and prosecutors for going along with it without doing they own investigation. These ppl don’t be caring they end lives they care abt conversation rates n arrest records

I hope they get every penny. They deserve it. All the people involved that's still alive should have to answer to this.

No amount of money can give tou back 25 yrs of your life. Worse yet the life you experience in prison. What a complete failure in justice. Will anyone fce charges and serve prison time. Live in fear and survive every second of everyday for 25yrs..
