So why does the headline read "US awards African man $1million" when the man is actually African American? Journalists and their misleading headlines.

Judicial system goes beyond the walls of the court room. In this story, you can see the staggering figures of innocent convicts that would die. More worrisome is the racial profiling and discrimination that occurs within the American judicial system.

If you want to praise the courage of a few people to put hope in their judicial system, then that's fine. But if you tell me that theirs is 'sound' (syn: accurate, without blemish, perfect), then I think that would be going over the line.

No human system is perfect. That's why people exploit the systems unfairly.

Yeah u get the point I was trying to make no human system is perfect some are relatively fair while others are not.

theres a nairalander who goes by the pseudonym BRYAN360. if he reads a comment that is entirely your opinion, he will call you funny names like zombie and all. I just don't know what color the sky is in the place he was born. See the picture of an encounter i had with him. I was totally innocent.
Noted Sir

I think you lack comprehension skills except you are just being mischievous.

No i don't

The story said,"more than $1million" and not $1million.

it could be $1.5 million or more but less than $2million.

mtcheeeeew.Com. If it's 1.5 mill it will be clearly stated. Just a little over a million. And even if it is 2mill it's still to small a compensation for wasted forty years of one's existence.

$40,330 per year in jail and they gave him that amount. what if he wasnt paid, what would happen. there isnt anything like racist here. most people who fought for his release were whites. whites dont hate blacks, they just hate our behaviours. there are blacks who have more white friends than blacks in america and other countries.
Re: Court Awards $1Million To Ricky Jackson For Spending 40 Years In Jail Wrongly by adeleke12345(m): 10:43am On May 12, 2016
some nigerians have spent more years and 5 naira has not been given to them. would you go fighting them. $1m is not small money. and hes the latest. who says you cant be what you want to be at age 60.
