Before and after.

“Each building would probably take about a week to make,” said Ben Milsom, the miniature unit’s senior art director.



In total, around 38 “miniature” buildings were constructed



And it comes as no surprise, seeing how much detail the artists pack into a single miniature



With the biggest one being the L.A.P.D. miniature skyscraper, which was 14.8 feet (4.5 meters) high

Blade Runner 2049 sets were actually made from miniatures.

Breakthroughs establishing facts about how Ötzi lived have allowed German filmmaker Felix Randau to create a feature film about his struggle for survival.



Der Mann aus dem Eis (Iceman) is out this month and was shot in the rugged mountains of Bavaria, South Tyrol and Carinthia in Austria.


Randau says his film questions whether humans have progressed in the millennia leading to the present day and his biopic speculates as to why Ötzi was killed after archaeologists and scientists have failed to offer a concrete conclusion.

'The figure of Ötzi, with his mythical grandeur, allowed us to look into the past to see what it tells us about the present,' he said.




'It raises the question as to whether humans have really changed at all and developed over 5,000 years.'

Jürgen Vogel plays Ötzi, who is called Kelab in the film, speaking an early version of the Rhaetic tongue.



Kelab is depicted as a hunter living with goats and pigs, wearing animal furs for warmth and trekking through the treacherous, snowy landscape in an attempt to shield himself and his family from human enemies and the elements.

Der Mann aus dem Eis (Iceman), 2017









A mummified Neolithic male whose corpse was discovered in a glacier 26 years ago will be the focus of a film giving a fictional account of his life.

Ötzi's body was found by German couple Erika and Helmut Simon, who stumbled across the remains, complete with tools and clothing, in the Ötztal Alps of southern Tyrol, Italy.

Its skin covered in 60 tattoos and other organs were intact and the hikers initially believed the corpse to be new, until forensic scientists found it was the world's oldest known human mummy at about 5,300 years old.


Nicknamed after the Alpine valley in which he was found, the Stone Age hunter became the subject of stomach content analysis as thousands of specialists clambered to determine his cause of death.

The investigation found he was felled by an arrow that pierced his left shoulder, leading him to fall, hit his head on a stone and bleed to death.

Now the corpse draws about a quarter of a million visitors annually to the northern Italian mountain town of Bolzano, where he is displayed in a specially designed cold chamber.

His popularity over the past two decades means the museum, which can only house 300 people, is soon moving to a new site to accommodate visitor demand.

Gerry Conlon



Why would you admit a crime that you never committed?

Gerry Conlon probably asked himself this question after the Irish Republican army bombing in 1974.

Thankfully, he was exonerated when there was evidence which claimed that the police had tortured him to own up to a crime he never even knew anything about.



Darrell Cannon, who served 19 years after he was tortured into a confession to a quadruple murder by Burge’s detectives who used electric shock, bagging, suffocation and other brutality at the hands of police.

A 14 year old Canadian student was sentenced to death in 1959 for the murder of a classmate.

He was supposed to be the youngest person ever placed on death row but a temporary reprieve was granted to postpone the execution and eventually was commuted to life imprisonment.


Things turned around in his favor and almost 50 years later, Truscott was awarded $6.5 million in compensation after he was acquitted.

Darryl Hunt




Although there was no evidence linking Darryl to the alleged rape he was being convicted of, a supposedly racist jury went ahead and convicted him anyway.


He served 19 years starting in 1984 but thanks to DNA testing, he was cleared of the rape and is now fighting back by helping others in his postion.

Being falsely accused by your own daughter of raping her several times is probably a father’s worst nightmare.

Because some of the evidence seemed so authentic.



Thomas Kennedy was sentenced to 15 years in prison.


After 9 years in jail, Cassandra, his daughter owned up to falsely accusing her father and confessed that the physical evidences of rape were because she had sexual relations with a boy in second grade.


The boy, already an adult by the time she revealed the truth, released a statement saying that what she said was indeed true.

The Man Who was Freed from Nearly Two Decades in Prison After Bite Marks Exonerated Him.



Who knew that something as small as a bite mark would lead to the overturning of a murder conviction of a man imprisoned for nearly two decades.

A 19-year-old girl was found dead in a Bernards Township ditch in New Jersey in 1994, and Gerard Richardson became the right man for the crime after prosecutors used bite-mark evidence to convict him.


But they were wrong, and DNA evidence helped prove that in October of 2013 with the help of the Innocence Project.


The new evidence showed that the bite mark used to convict Richardson belonged to another male.


After nearly 20 years behind bars, Richardson was a free man.



Had his conviction held up, Richardson wouldn't have been eligible for parole until May 2025.

The Man Who was Exonerated of Murder Charges After He was Almost Executed.



Two teenagers were shot to death on some bleachers overlooking a pool in Washington Park, on the South Side of Chicago, in 1982. Anthony Porter was blamed, convicted, and sentenced to die for the crime.


Fifty hours before Porter was to be killed by lethal injection, he received a stay of execution from the state supreme court, citing research that showed that his intelligence level was too low for him to understand what was going on.

The stay allowed further investigation into Porter's case, leading to the recanting of testimony by a key witness and the videotaped confession to the killings by another party on February 3, 1999.

Anthony Porter was freed from prison two days later.

Two Innocent Men Who were Awarded $5 Million Following Nearly 18 Years of Wrongful Imprisonment.



After serving nearly 18 years of a 20-year prison sentence for the rape of a housekeeper, two men were set free and compensated in millions when DNA evidence exonerated them of the crime.



Larry Davis and Alan Northrup were locked away in Clark County, Washington in 1993 when DNA evidence wasn't available.


But when it did become available, the University of Washington's Innocence Project picked up the case and went to work, eventually freeing and exonerating Northrup and Davis in 2010.


The men settled with the county for $5.25 million each.

The Innocent Man Who Served 20 Years After Being Coerced to Falsely Confess.



You never committed the crime, but the cops broke you down so much psychologically during their interrogation that you were coerced into confessing, netting you 20 years in prison that you didn't deserve.


That's what happened to Juan Rivera, who was exonerated in 2012 of his wrongful conviction and imprisonment for the 1992 rape and murder of an 11-year-old girl in Waukegan, Illinois.


Rivera was found guilty three times, even though DNA evidence linked the sexual contact with another person.

Each conviction was consequently reversed, and the third reversal finally stuck when a judge ruled that he could no longer be found guilty beyond a reasonable doubt.

The First Man on Death Row to be Exonerated of His Charges and Set Free.



Numerous people have been freed from prison due to new evidence shedding light on their case, but there's only one man who was the first to be exonerated from death row.


Kirk Bloodsworth was the first man on death row to be freed because of DNA evidence.


He was convicted of the rape and murder of a 9-year-old girl in Baltimore, Md. in 1985, and spent nearly nine years in prison.


Two of them on death row until his lawyer found evidence that he tested for DNA, which led to Kirkblood's release and helped the police find the real killer.

The Man Who was Wrongfully Convicted for Fatally Poisoning His 7 Children.





James Richardson is healing, but it's a long, long process.


The 77-year-old Florida man recently returned to his hometown of Arcadia, where in 1967 he was wrongfully convicted and imprisoned for the poisoning deaths of his seven children.


He spent 21 years locked up for the heinous crime, his children died from lunches laced with pesticide after being framed by authorities and alleged by prosecutors to have killed his young for insurance money.



Years later, the woman who had been babysitting Richardson's children while he and his wife were away working confessed to the crime, so Richardson was freed from prison.

The Man Who Served the Longest Time in Prison Before He was Eventually Sprung By DNA Evidence



Imagine going from a few parking tickets to being locked away in prison for 35 years of your life for a crime you never committed.


That's what happened to James Bain, a Florida man who was wrongfully convicted and sentenced to life in prison for breaking and entering, kidnapping, and rape in 1974.


Bain maintained his innocence from day one, asking the courts for DNA testing.

A nonprofit called the Innocence Project Florida that is dedicated to helping exonerate the wrongfully convicted heard his case and decided to help him.

It's a good thing they did.

DNA evidence showed that Bain could never have committed the rape, and eight months later he was a free man.

The 35 years that Bain spent locked up is the longest time served by a person who was eventually freed thanks to DNA evidence.


Bain received $1.7 million in compensation from the state upon his release.

The Man Who was Falsely Imprisoned for Life Due to Alleged Police Fabrications



Sometimes the cops don't get the bad guy, sothey create one.


That's what Daryl Burton alleged that the St. Louis Police Department did in relation to his wrongful conviction and imprisonment for the slaying of a man at a gas station in 1984.


Burton was sentenced to life in prison for the crime, but was exonerated in 2008 when a judge released him, agreeing that evidence suggesting he was an innocent man was kept from the jury during his trial.


After 24 years in prison and two years out, Burton sued the city, its board of police commissioners, and several police officers, alleging that witnesses were coached into accusing him of the crime.


He also claimed that police created false reports and hid eyewitness descriptions of the actual murderer, who was killed in 1986.

Justice must be served.

But it's not always served the right way, like when people go to prison for crimes that they never committed.

Here are stories about people who suffered the hard consequences of a broken justice system.




These ones are just so lucky because hundreds or thousands of Innocent people have been killed around the world for what they never committed.

Many more doing time in prisons.

















Innocent Nigerian youths spent five years in prison for false murder accusation done by the Nigeria SARS police as a result of torture.(November, 2017).



Five men who were wrongly accused of murder 5 years ago celebrated as they regained freedom in Enugu


The Five innocent young men released from Enugu prison after five years.


There were jubilation of some awaiting trial men at the Enugu high court complex when five of them who had spent five years in prison were discharged and acquitted of a crime they said they did not commit



One of the freed men said that their journey started since 2013 when they were detained by Enugu SARS at their cell but that it happened that one of the inmates who was asmathic and was tortured by SARS men and that led to his death

A map showing the estimated maximum range of North Korea's new Hwasong-15 ICBM which is capable of hitting virtually anywhere in the world with the exception of South America and parts of southern Africa

North Korea, which conducted its sixth and largest nuclear bomb test in September, has tested dozens of ballistic missiles under Kim's leadership.

Pyongyang has said its weapons programmes are a necessary defence against U.S. plans to invade.


The United States, which has 28,500 troops in South Korea as a legacy of the 1950-53 Korean War, denies any such intention.


The official China Daily newspaper said in an editorial that the latest launch may have been prompted by the Trump administration's decision to label North Korea a sponsor of state terrorism.






North Korean state media said on Wednesday the intercontinental ballistic missile (ICBM) was launched from a newly developed vehicle in a “breakthrough” and that the warhead could withstand the pressure of re-entering the atmosphere.






This is the moment North Korea test-fired its most powerful ICBM ever, Hwasong-15 which is capable of hitting U.S. mainland or striking almost anywhere on earth.


The missile flew for around 50 minutes, travelling 1,000km (620 miles), reaching an unprecedented altitude of 2,800 miles, before splashing down in the Sea of Japan

The United States warned North Korea's leadership it would be "utterly destroyed" if war were to break out after Pyongyang test fired its most advanced missile, putting the U.S. mainland within range, in violation of U.N. Security Council resolutions.


The Trump administration has repeatedly said all options are on the table in dealing with North Korea's ballistic and nuclear weapons programmes, including military ones, but that it still prefers a diplomatic option.

Speaking at an emergency U.N. Security Council meeting, U.S. ambassador Nikki Haley said the United States had never sought war with North Korea.

"If war does come, it will be because of continued acts of aggression like we witnessed yesterday," she said. "...and if war comes, make no mistake, the North Korean regime will be utterly destroyed."


Trump and Chinese President Xi Jinping talked on the phone earlier on Wednesday.

"Just spoke to President Xi Jinping of China concerning the provocative actions of North Korea. Additional major sanctions will be imposed on North Korea today. This situation will be handled!" Trump wrote on Twitter.


Previous U.S. administrations have failed to stop North Korea from developing nuclear weapons and a sophisticated missile programme.


Trump, who has previously said the United States would "totally destroy" North Korea if necessary to protect itself and its allies from the nuclear threat, has also struggled to contain Pyongyang since he came to office in January.

Urging China to use its leverage and promising more sanctions against North Korea are two strategies that have borne little fruit so far.


In a speech in Missouri about taxes, Trump, who has traded insults with the North in the past, referred to North Korean leader Kim Jong Un with a derisive nickname.



"Little Rocket Man. He is a sick puppy," Trump said.
