Lying on a police report should be a federal crime.
-
Why isn't he in prison? The US criminal justice system is a joke!
-
The man is so unintelligent with his answers. The way he told Ed Bradley “ No sir not you” spoke volumes.
-
Lying from an officer should be 15 yrs minimum in prison
-
What kind of jury convicted these people with no evidence , A RACIST JURY.
-
He should be made to pay back every dime the government issued him. Period.
-
This man is sick...everyone of those he wrongfully incarcerated should receive compensation and he should be sent to jail
-
People like this man truly need to understand what a jail cell is for about 25yrs .
-
The fact that they NEVER give these liars time in jail is why people protest and even riot. He should be in jail for LIFE!
-
This is so sick! That terrible cop should be locked away for life.
-
No evidence needed? What kind of justice system is that?
-
He said he's proud of what he's done. A real beast
-
He said the N word in front of his superiors and then they all laughed together
-
Why he's still walking free is a joke to the justice system in America. Only in America cop system is a joke.
-
"the judge said in 25 years, he's never seen a more non believable defendant" "Well that's just nit picking, isn't it"
-
And it's more people out here just like him
-
Why is no one talking about the judges of Tulia handing out 90 years for a minor drug offense?
-
This is unreal and happens more often than we will ever know.. this is beyond criminal, and nobody said nothing to help these poor people..
-
HE took his career away from himself.
-
One guy said, “he’s that good of a liar”! No, he’s not a good liar. He didn’t have to be. The prosecutor, judges, sheriff, and juries all worked together to railroad black people.
