what about his colleagues? undecided

this reminds me of the movie Shaw shank redemption, that old man that spent his entire life in prison and when he was release things had change and he couldn't cope.
This one sef might follow suit.
Am pretty sure he has no surviving family.

I read this on CNN earlier today. I'm happy they freed him, allowing him to live the remainder of his life in the world. At 83, he's really old and is no longer a threat.

They were drunk, so they ended up robbing and stabbing 8 people that night.
I should pity him for what? For all we know he was likely the ring leader of the action. If he didn’t act stupid then he may have lived a productive life. There is a chance he would have died at the hands of another, anyway. Prison saved him for all I know.

I'm annoyed that they freed him.

Even if he clocks 100,they should have let him rot in jail.

All these violent criminals no deserve any mercy jare.

I've watched a lot of American prison documentaries to understand how they mete out so called justice to the blacks, the system is built to oppress the blacks. Racism is deeply embedded in their justice system, imagine sentencing someone to 33 years, and the crime committed, robbery, i guess its because he is black, it's crazy...

I think tempering justice with mercy in this case is ideal. He says he wants to help people and share his story with the younger generation. He's no longer a violent criminal and did maintain that he never killed anyone. I'm pretty sure he has learned from his actions with the almost-70-years he has spent imprisoned.

He got the long sentence because he's black.

I'm not justifying his actions but he would have been tried in a juvenile court with a lesser sentence if he were to be white.

Exactly my point of view

The cases of juvenile delinquency needs to be checkmated. the case of that calabar school girl quickly comes to my mind.Mean while at 15 he shouldn't have been sent to jail but remind home for value reorientation, but I guess the laws then did not protect teenagers

He should have committed suicide in jail.

I have a feeling the justice system was harsh on him cos he's a negro. Why sentence a minor to life imprisonment instead of a remand home? They'd never do that to a white.



Racism!

Oga Racism did you read where they said people lost their lives because of this stupid man?
Na racism tell em to go drunk and stab people?

He is even lucky to have tasted the breath of fresh air.

Oga, did you read where they said he was only 15 years old, a minor?

Show me a single underage white kid in America who was sent to life imprisonment or even incarcerated for more than 10 years no matter the severity of the crime.
