There have been cases of someone convicted of a crime erroneously then someone else confessing or also being found guilty of the same exact crime later yet the person first convicted might never be freed unless granted an appeal.

[@B_Bodziak]

Yes. I haven't seen any comments about this. Innocent people plead guilty every day.

[@U.S.ArmyVeteran]

Honestly, Innocent people pleading guilty is not a reflection of a broken system, they're just trying to spend as little money and time in jail as possible, because it costs lots more to defend against it (more than them or they're family have to put towards the system) and dirty cops know this. The system is broken for many reasons, but innocent pleading guilty is not one of them. This type of bad cop activity predates camera's. What cameras have done, in addition to many other things, is bringing to light that when minorities said they didnt do it or that isn't mine.... Then others saying RIIGHT, it just appeared out of no where didnt it.

[@TioKeats]

@@U.S.ArmyVeteran yeah it’s not the reason it’s broken but it’s a symptom of the problem for sure. If we truly live in a constitutional republic, then the punishment for breaking the law should be fairly consistent across the board and your socioeconomic status should have absolutely no impact on how justice is handed down. When government starts to revolve around finance, whether it is the lobbying system or the cash bail system then it is broken and needs to be overhauled. None of the founding fathers really believed in career politicians or government being someone’s main source of income because money corrupts. There was a sense of doing your civic duty because it was the right thing to do and not because it made you rich. Now that it has become very apparent to all of us the prison industrial complex is pulling strings to influence legislation like the Clinton/Biden Crime Bill in the 90s, that was probably the worst thing to happen to minority communities since segregation. Forcing mandatory minimum sentences for non violent drug offenses for crack that are far harsher than cocaine despite being the same exact drug shows there was clear intention from the “war on drugs” to hurt minority communities that are usually in a lower tax bracket which means family doesn’t have lawyer money so the innocent are taking a plead deal. I have been under the supervision of TN DOC the past decade and the majority of the decade before that in and out of jail. Luckily I come from a more affluent family from an affluent community with affluent friends and I got a bunch of second chances I wouldn’t have otherwise. It’s kind of like taxes where you will take advantage of any loopholes and shortcuts until they don’t exist and I hope that is someday soon.

If you are outraged by this video, you should see the videos of his family and friends talking about what s great, honest, Christian guy he is, and that he shouldn't get any punishment. This guy is not only scum in its purest form, everyone he is related to and knows that spoke up on his behalf is, too.
