Not even sure what words to use. Amazing.

God bless him for doing what's right.... It seems to me that his heart has been touched ....He says he won't become an advocate but perhaps he's wrong...smile... Louisiana is one of the most corrupt states and it sounds to me like this man could do a lot of good work...x

I did not watch the video, however, just reading this gives me hope!

The only way to stop some of this nonsense by prosecutors or law enforcement is MANDATORY prison time plus fines and restitution to the victim. No, not some sentence where they can convince their DA pals to bargain down to almost nothing, but real prison time.

No mere slaps on the wrist. They showed no mercy to these poor people, so they deserve none from us.

We can admonish DAs and law enforcement all we want, but hitting them in the pocketbooks, disbarring the DAs, and sending them to prison is the only thing that will get their attention.

It should be mandatory that they pay the wrongfully accused---the person they sent to prison----restitution equal to the person's salary he or she earned before they were wrongfully convicted PLUS at least a couple of a hundred thousand a year for each year they were convicted AT LEAST.

And they could have it set up where the prosecutor or law enforcement serve a MANDATORY sentence without the possibility of parole or early release which is equal the sentence the wrongfully accused was facing.

And no more sending these guys to a "special prison" so they will be safe. Oh no. They don't do that for sex offenders or any other high risk inmates, so let's not treat the prosecutors or cops differently. Let them learn to fight and fend for themselves not hide behind the curtain of a badge or the office of a DA.

Let's show some equality here.

Prosecutors are always preaching the offenders "do not accept responsibility" for their crimes. Good. Then let's require the prosecutors to accept the responsibility of their actions.

The DAs and cops who engage in this kind of behavior are monsters and need to be dealt with accordingly.

Then, when a few of this psychopaths are sent to prison, DAs, prosecutors, and detectives in future investigations will think twice before hiding evidence or lying in court.

Some DAs still contend that the death penalty is a deterrent to crime, which it is not. But if they feel that way, then we can use their philosophy against them and use their sentence as a deterrent to others.

I know I am just wishing as this will never happen.

But hope is what keeps all of us going in one way or another.

I'm glad you wrote it out. It's what I was thinking, but my thoughts are so scattered at the moment, that all I can think of, it's changing. I agree with you that it will take a long time for it to happen.
