I won't lie his kindness is off the charts ill became a menace to society after that. I already don't believe in love now do that to me and ill become a full blown monster. I have no shame to say so either ill have nothing to lose at that point and ill be glad to run it with anyone. He is stronger than me in a way i can't be. That is holding on to his heart even through all that and he has my respect ill tossed it away. That man earned my respect but i know i can't do that one thing there is keep my heart i know my limits and that is something he got way more strength then me in. The strength to maintain a Humane heart in our society is a strength most of us don't have or most is to scared to be honest in saying. i know myself well enough to know ill wanted revenge even if i had to follow a few home. Ill felt nothing and slept good at night too doing it. For this man to maintain his kindness is a very hard thing to do in fact im impressed he didn't break he didn't crumble he pushed forward with his humanity intact and im lost for words on how he did so. '' He said he is harder than life and kinder than love'' which i feel is correct on this guy. I been through some Sh*t i won't share and i thought mine was bad nope his is more traumatic than mine. If i was rich i would gladly travel with this guy be good friends and show him kindness i don't share with most because he deserves it. Trauma from this will be forever but it doesnt mean he can't experience some light to overwhelm the darkness that is always with him. Wish this man the best and hopefully some good come out his life.

Are you actually aware of what he did? He tried to frame an innocent man for somebody's assault and death whilst he was in prison awaiting trial for drug driving and fighting witha cop. He was then caught out and then charged with the death that he tried to frame an innocent man for. Do you think that makes him a good man?

The fact that he had kept his great character and faith in his innocence for so long without giving up is incredible. I feel for him. I was a correctional officer for a while and I saw bad things that I didn’t agree with and I believe every word that this man says and I feel his pain.

I can and will not claim to have been through prison or anything like that. But after watching this i feel understood. I spent 10 + years addicted to drugs and on the streets. Kidnapped, tortured, some of the same stuff he’s talking about minus prison. The way he talks about things and starts tearing up is almost exactly how i am when i talk about stuff. Through the years i learned to have enormous amounts of compassion for others. There is a turning point where you decide to either hate or love. I have chosen love. “Fuck this i ain’t crying no more”. But we will always cry more. We don’t want anyone to go through the suffering that we have been through. At least that’s how i have come to understand it. I’m now clean for a long time and am a server. I get notes from people everyday about how they appreciated my kindness and the connection i made with them while they were there. It never fails to make me cry when i read them. So different than what life used to be. Haha people probably think I’m high af because my eyes will be all red and puffy from crying 🤷🏻‍♂️ Did my best to explain. All the best to you my friend 🙏🏼❤️

Don't forget the only reason he was accused of the murder in the first place -- because he tried to frame a person he knew to be innocent for the killing so he would have (perjured) testimony to offer the DA in return for a sweet plea deal on the theft and attempted murder charges. He admitted this on the podcast and Joe didn't press him about it. When the guy he falsely accused had an alibi, the police decided he knew an awful lot about the case and began looking at him. In other words, he ended up on Death Row with a false conviction solely because he tried to send someone else to Death Row with a false conviction.

I've been to some of the worst prisons in NY state. Before going u would never believe the stories and thought it was just inmates trying to get over and making it up to ruin a guards career. The things I saw guards do would make the average person puke. I've seen one beating they had to use mops to clean the blood off the roof and ceiling. The worst one wasn't because of how violent it was. It was because he was so calm and calculated. This was the second time I've met true evil in my life. The first one was an inmate who was a serial killer who murdered his wife and that's how he got caught. But he had raped old ladies and handicapped people in wheel chairs and killed them and a child. What made the guard so unsettling is because hes supposed to be the "good" guy. If guards had to wear body cams, there where more cameras, and a reporting system that didn't get shut down because they're over seen by a sgt. Working at the prison maybe these things would change. Even outside staff have w hard time believing reports be cause they're so out there and you are brought up all your life being taught law enforcement have morals and values.
