Probably dead

Black person as expected.. racist Justice system run in the US.

Most miscarriage of justice in the US are mainly suffered by blacks.

Chai.....he should be adequately compensated.

No compensation can be adequate for an individual who lived his entire youth in prison and on the verge of death with liver cancer.

I repeat, no compensation can be adequate.

It's a shame really.

Before reading I know it is a black man

But this is almost a daily thing in the US and I wonder why

I lived in the west for some years and I always saw that they were all the devil we seek

They are always 90% black

Black and white should seperate, unavailable idea is killing the black African citizen who keep on serve the colonial masters

dey try read na even 1 paragraph before you rush to comment.

[sub][/sub]but just imagine if such was in Nigeria, going back home after 48years term. As in he was there even before my dad courted my mum😃😃

Some States in the US .... and some areas Blacks just need to avoid. He was sentenced to death... but saved by the Federal Law. How many more wrongfully convicted were put to death? The persons giving false statements to convict innocent people are never held accountable. 48 years in prison ... institutionalized... he would spend more years adapting to living on his own or with family members. Let's not talk about catching up with present day technology. The time he went to prison remote control for TV was for the rich and famous. It is sad that OK has a cap on compensation for the wrongfully convicted.

If he was guilty, he already completed the time. Wahala. These sort of reports make news because they’re rare. That you always hear them on the news doesn’t mean they’re not one percent of overall cases.

So pathetic!

I know he will be black
his only sin is being a black

Damn! This is painful, 48 meaningful years gone

The law is always not right, more reason I dig this verse 'because sentence against an evil work is not executed speedily, therefore the heart of the sons of men is fully set in them to do evil' to be honest, it's better for the world to wake up to an eye for an eye, mind you, the world wouln't go blind, the people of the world will sit up and protect their eyes from being plucked out as a result of the evil they have done.

My God 🥺

Wetin bloggers suppose carry dem no go carry…as him no be celeb na

Mr Simmons and Mr Roberts were convicted in part because of testimony from a teenager who had been shot in the back of the head. The teenager pointed to several other men during police line-ups and later contradicted some of her own testimony, the National Registry of Exonerations said.

How about the useless teenager that gave a false testimony against this man?! People like that shouldn't be allowed to go scot free.

Under the US justice it is the prosecutor who accuses in cases of murder. That is why you will never hear of the family of the murder victim withdrawing the charge against the accused

Robbed Of His Time, Youth, And Justice

Forty eight years in a man's life is almost two generations. In effect, he was economically and socially killed.

The justice system perverted justice here ironically. As he said, what is done can't be undone.

This the second black that has gone on such a long haul of perverted justice in terms of prison terms.

There was a black guy who spent 38 yrs in prison. It was posted on NL, I think last year or so.

Is the system targeting blacks? Or are black kids becoming too insouciant that they fall into these- I don't want to believe they are- traps?

Whichever way we see it, this guy was literally robbed of his life and existence. And no amount of apology and compensation would make up for the lost time.

* I'm so glad that our beloved Nairaland is back. Shame on all naysayers, particularly those on Twitter, wishing that the issue that took it down would never be resolved.

NSNO:
As I was scrolling I said to myself he must be a black person. I was not disappointed 😥

Me too. I knew a white can't be hurled into jail like that. Seems the victim even survived the shooting Abi Na me no read well

Omg! So unfortunate. Let's hope he picks up the little pieces of his life remaining.
Kudos to the USA justice system.
