Brother's overturned conviction now movie

The story of Betty Anne Waters - the woman who went to court to exonerate her brother, convicted for a murder he didn't commit - is now a major motion picture starring Hillary Swank.

This movie brought so many feelings to the surface especially in those scenes when they were kids running away together, we forget sometimes what our siblings mean to us

This movie triggers me. I was falsely arrested. Then they knew they did so, so they charged me with resisting. Why? Bc by charging me, it’ll be harder to sue. I was 36, never had a speeding ticket and was leaving the casino. Apparently there was a woman inside who was making a fruckus but I came out in a rush. What’s worse is that the cops tried to bribe me for sex. They dragged this misdemeanor on for 4 years. I spent 15k. They kept losing “discovery aka evidence.” I fired my lawyer bc he wanted me to please to an equivalent of a ticket. After I fired him, I had to get a free attorney. She was shitty and never responded to anything. The new judge told me I should be grateful for her help bc she’s had 300 cases in the past year so she knows what she’s doing. I said what? Trying to make innocent ppl plea to false charges. I filed complaints to the state bar and the ABA. My case was dropped and they settled with me. The whole thing took over my life. I felt helpless so I can only imagine what he went thru. 18 years. There’s no amount that can make up for that. Btw. The two cops are in jail. One for selling evidence and the other for SA another woman.

life can be so unfair sometimes:( but i hope that in those 6 months he had the best time ever r.i.p

[@Scorch428]

Id wager up to a quarter of all inmates are innocent....its a lot easier to get a conviction than you think. And its sad.

[@mandem888]

yeh knowing that info after watching that movie killed the mood..wtf after 18 years of unjust he gets his freedom and dies right after!! RIP Kenny!

[@timothyosborne3087]

I applaud your love and devotion and the bond you had with your brother 100 percent. I think those who lied and put this man away for decades should be held accountable and should be made to suffer the inhumane shit this man had to suffer and go thru. Its obvious luck did not run in his corner or he would be alive today. You sure it was and accident? 3.4 million is a lot of money. Kenneth Waters R.I.P. and haunt those S.O.Bs that did this to you. Betty Ann Waters keep up the good work.

Charlie Charlie he fell from 15 feet

[@Scorch428]

People like to think the justice system works perfectly. When in reality 12 jurors can be swayed in either direction the same as a presidential election. I wish people realized just how flawed our system really is...Ive seen some cases with weak, weak evidence go to conviction... its not supposed to be whether someone LIKELY did it, its supposed to be beyond a reasonable doubt because an innocent person incarerated is far worse than a guilty man walking free.

@@mvilleneuve7 it’s been 3 years but I can cuz I know her 😅

[@MichaelAureli]

You did a fabulous job defending your brother Betty Anne I would have done the same thing for my sister's your the definition of a sister going through any length to prove your brother's innocence and make sure it doesn't happen again

[@samanthamears6072]

poor man so sad😭

[@sanjaym]

wow just saw the movie and I was blown away by the powerful bond between a brother and sister and at the same time very saddened to find out that kenny passed away 6 months into his freedom. Not fair, not fair at all God! :-(

People can be have a bad personal, but the people with bad personal is not always a bad guy.

[@jacobbutler6049]

just watched conviction movie good movie sad but good story

[@ZumbaIzzy]

@unnst I just saw this beautiful movie ..I was Crying a lot...So you said after 6 months free He died ??? Sorry for ask !!

[@marialamb6781]

Izzy LMast Yes it’s a very inspiring movie beautifully made and very well casted and kept true to the story. But it’s true for six months he really lived life had a wonderful time, but then he was walking along a 15 foot wall and fell off the wall. And he died from his injuries.

[@jodikeehn4581]

Great movie

[@thasnap]

Dies 6 months after released from prison. Thats irony for you.

[@privatenunyabusiness2427]

Check your facts most of this case is in the Ayer Massachusetts area and really has nothing to do with Providence except for maybe that's where he lives right now

[@christopherjamesjames1682]

Like I said b4 and will keep on saying .him and thousands of others .especialy people of courage low i come.are jailed because of INADEQUATE LEGAL REPRESENTATION

[@IcyScythe]

what a stupid fucking law evidence should never be destroyed. ugh the police department and "justice" department disgust me.

[@NonregAg2009]

@loginium Sorry, but your misunderstanding of the famous "Hot Coffee" case, is a great example of why the powers that be take advantage of people's misunderstanding of the law. Including the Waters.

[@Originalwndwarrior08]

The sad thing is loginium...some states have a MAXIMUM of $25,000!!

[@HittaCastro]
