David Milgaard wrongful murder conviction: Who Killed Gail Miller? (1990) - The Fifth Estate

[@grahamwood2130]

When corrupt cops set someone up. The real killer gets away with it

[@larrybethune3909]

Bingo!

[@kelb89]

As a soon to be 30 year old man, I can't imagine whaat it would have been like living my last 14 years in prison being wrongfully convicted. No money can rewind the clock and bring back all the amazing experiences I've had in my life so far.

[@kansascityshuffle8526]

Rest In Peace. You had a unjustly hard life.

[@keithstevens5614]

Wow, what a poor guy. And his mother approached minister Kim Campbell in 1990 with a forensic pathology report exonerating David, yet she was brushed off by Campbell then and for the next year and a half that she had no time to read it. Likewise, Fisher's ex-wife went to the cops in 1980 confessing her strong suspicions that Fisher was the real killer, but the cops told her to get lost.

At the moment she said none of the police involved in the case wanted to comment, that alone convinced me they knew they got the wrong person and don't want to admit it. I glad that finally he's free. 20+ years of his life lost, but is not too late. I hope he gets the peace and comfort that he deserves. A handsome gentleman too...😊👍✌

[@adammann98]

When I was arrested and charged, I was denied bail and told by my lawyers that if I did not plead guilty I could be sitting in jail waiting longer for a trial date than the amount of time that they were seeking and that I could be given twice the amount of time or more for not taking "responsibility " if found guilty at trial. So due to those circumstances, I pled guilty knowing that I was innocent, because I didn't want to sit in jail waiting longer for a trial date than the time they were seeking, especially when prison Conditions can be cruel and unusual and trial dates can be unreasonably delayed and convictions can be wrongful and appeals can be often denied. I pled guilty knowing I was innocent because I did not want to deal with the stress, fear, frustration, malice, or the confusion caused by systemic racism. I pled guilty knowing that Elizabeth May Terry (lizzie terry) made false allegations in order to have me locked up so she could steal twenty-three thousand dollars of furniture and electronics from me in retaliation for cheating with her sister. As a victim of systemic racism you do not committ crimes, you just suffer the consequences of crimes like an innocent bystander. Systemic racism made me the victim look like the criminal and the actual criminal look like the victim. Even when you tell the truth they will make you out to to be the liar and then make the actual liar out to be the one telling the truth. They will pick sides without knowing the truth or without seeking the truth, and then concoct or make whatever side they think they can make look like the truth. Everything you say or do they use against you especially in the court of law where everyone in positions of authority are white or have to answer directly or indirectly to someone white. That's white supremacy. Racism, that has been perfected and systematized. I do not need anyone to tell me that I'm innocent when I know that I am innocent. The video proves I'm innocent. The same video that the judge refused to watch. I pled guilty knowing that I did not committ any offense, knowing that I was innocent, just to get out of jail and they knew that. Now that I'm out, I take that guilty plea right back. I giveth, therefore I taketh. I shouldn't have went to jail in the first place. They will lock you up, ruin your life, take everything from you, then release you with nothing. That's racism. They didn't have to lock me up when they knew they was eventually going to release me. They could have released me from the beginning so that I wouldn't lose everything. What a system. Not only does it tolerate racism, it requires racism.

[@carolhew73]

That's when you have friends who are attention-seekers and wanted their moment of fame. Those friends should all be charged with perjury.

[@MaryJane-qq9mm]

Yeah. It does seem like they where basking in the attention, and wanting to play detective. One was paid 2k for his "information"

[@youtubingbabs]

@@MaryJane-qq9mm yeah...paying ppl or letting ppl out for info should prob not be legal. Normal non-liar ppl wouldn't be motivated by cash. They'd tell or not tell on pure ethics.

[@Misdrex]

Pretty sure the cops were threatening them to come forward and point fingers or they'd be prosecuted.

[@leongt1954]

This must be an old program because Milgaard was released in 1992 and got 10 million for his time in jail and Fisher was charged in 1997 from DNA evidence

Circa 1990 or so. You can see some of the 1980s hairstyles.

[@youtubingbabs]

Yeah... I feel like a snitch is someone who tells on someone who actually did something. Snitches. I know he was let and found not guilty... How did they get all these ppl to lie? They quickly can intimidate and brainwash people with threats. These tactics of interrogation should be illegal. Look at the results. Andvwe all believe we wouldn't bend or buckle but there are studies a person will be looking at blue and see red if enough other ppl say it. Esp with threats and isolation. God bless them all. From the poor girl... Her family to Larry's soul his family. To poor poor Milgaard and his family. I have faith Andv Only faith because no logic of mine can make sense of the horrors in this world that it had some eternal spiritual reasons for these things.

[@youtubingbabs]

Police interrogation tactics... Plus already having flimsy sense of right and wrong... They were out playing with fire... No angels... If you stand for nothing you can fall for anything. In NO way judging but a reminder to us all of why not play with fire. But look at how hood life affected them. I feel like it all lined up because there's too many times they should've been doing something positive and contributing to the greater good...they were out bouncing around "up to no good" not up to that bad either... And i believe they were victims because of their age... The system is what's wrong. Coersion is just standard operating procedure. Any of us in that could lose or minds. But if we are on a clear path toward good... And have to work to that every day or minds stand a better chance against that and against media brainwashing etc. God bless!

[@heksedansd.2919]

Did you all hear what that judge said? "If you want your son free,- dont contact me in privat" ...(or somthing like that) ...so....that means if she dont like what you are doing,-then she will not set him free? Is it a personal thing to her?? Like : if I dont like you then I dont care if you are guilty or not.. ?

This kind of thing was standard practice in many countries at the time before forensic evidence (which completely exonerates him and nailed the Fisher guy) became so critical for convictions. The police think they know who did, and railroad "witnesses" into manufacturing evidence for a case against them.

[@youtubingbabs]

Thinking you know things is dangerous. It causes a ton of problems in life! Unfortunately... We have to go off what we think we know Sometimes. However it justice we are supposed to honor ANY doubt or room for error. Welll.... In life there's always room for doubt. It's actually incredible that beyond a REASONABLE doubt is a thing. Watching this will make me a better juror of I ever am one. Haven't been so far in my life. Praying if I ever am God watches over us and comes to the correct answers.

[@juliaherbet2063]

Why not use the old evidence that they collected that time. Examine it and convict someone because they are really guilty. Not suspicions.

[@jennifeledlow]

He got out in 1992 after serving 23 years (his full scentence). Larry Fisher was convicted and David Milgaard was given $10M and was determined to be completely innocent. He's been out for 25 years.

@@oooSoundOfLifeooo oh I see... I have nooooo idea... People have all kinds of issues... Denial, cynicism... This Q gives me similar feelings to people being ignored by their Dr.s... With serious issues... Life or death situations death with as though annoying errands like filling taxes or something... By the people whose lives v they hold in their hands. Like they're numb to the effects of their actions. I think maybe they should have to maybe do different jobs for a while... Or do something that brings clarity...like work directly with affected family's and prisoners...no clutter... This is a common thing. Could be from this too: a lot of powerful positions are occupied by highly functioning psychopaths... They might not care and only do what benefits them.. Like not rocking the boat in a town where ppl feel comforted that a supposed killer was put away. The world is strange! I often find it scary trying to understand ppl. Scarier when i find answers.

How can any man let another person sit in jail for something he did

[@youtubingbabs]

Well... If they're raping and stabbing innocents... Kind of consistent on the "I want to harm innocent ppl" trajectory. Fits his profile. Rapists aren't horny dudes that couldn't handle it anybody. Their violent sadists who use sex as just another means to act violently for pleasure or control. They love to see pain in others. So watching someone suffer for his crime was probably actually pleasurable. When you see him say no you can see a psychopath sparkle in his eye. Getting interviewed. Getting to lie etc... He loves it all.

Sadly, things like this still happen too often today. Many times the police just arrest someone, anyone to calm down the public; and instead of doing their job properly, an innocent bystander is accused, spending many years of his life behind bars.

I think all proceeds from true crime documentaries, should go to survivors of violent crimes, and surviving Family members. Just throwing that out there. The fifth estate has Respect when presenting tragic stories. But many crime documentaries sensationalize a tragic event. And ask families the kind of questions you know are going to hurt. Deliberately trying to get a rise from loved One's, for a dramatic affect. Extreme disrespect. There should be basic standards for how they interview surviving Family members, how they present these, and how much money is paid out in the making of these stories. Any profits should be going straight back to surviving Family and survivors of horrific assaults..
