Wow this is absolutely sickening and shameful. This poor guy lost 32 years of his life. OMG

[Loveexpressionmachine]

This is insane. I couldn’t imagine of being in situation like this.

[beatpirate]

That is so insane. Chesa should continue to do this work. This is his strength. I wish him strength and healing. I’m sure he will have anger to process as he missed so much. But I wish him joy for the opportunity to have his name cleared and to connect again with his family.

What was wrongful about the conviction? I want to hear the evidence or lack of, because we all know how boudine operates.

Especially now amid a recall attempt.

[JokrMetaa]

I don’t for 1 second think he is actually innocent! The San Francisco DA is a radical lunatic.

[criticaluplink]

This guy can’t survive outside after 32 years, he will be back in jail soon

[fredcraven]

good chance he is Innocent but what's the evidence that exonerated?

[l.r]

Imagine all the other innocent lives still behind bars

[Tsukiko.]

Im glad his family is still around to support him at least, nonethenless they better pay him over 100 mill for 30 years though.

[eligunthair]

They knew he was innocent since they put him in jail, terrible

Pray Mr Ciria lives a long happy wealthy life.
