He use to be mad, but now he`s happy. That`s only because he`s swimming in cash now.

sucks how there are innocent people in a certain race (blacks,muslims) but often are overshadowed by the rest who do wrong and create a label for the ones that actually do right

he can`t take back the 23 years, but what will he get? seriously, i would fight for some kind of compensation if i were in prison for that long. i wouldn`t care if it`s considered rude or low, fuck, SOMEONE screwed up big and i would have paid for it. Hit them where it hurts, and get something to help my family with that have suffered for so long and make my life easier. that`s just bull shit man, bull shit.

This is the true power of DNA evidence...not the ability to convict, but to exonerate the innocent.

The guy who got released for being wrongfully accused of sexual assault of a child looks like he got beat almost ever day in prison. I`m not trying to be rude or anything but he probably did and that`s fucked up.

^^Why is DirtDigger voted down? It seems like the most insightful sentiment yet. I`m not saying anything about the court system either way (partly because i`m aussie, not american, and our system is quite different) but it seems like the true benefit of increasing accuracy of forensic evidence is that the verdicts become more accurate, and that in the future a man like this will not be sent to jail in the first place. As for what happened to him, its highly unfortunate and yeah, it makes you feel a bit sad, and yes he has the right to seek compensation. But, you have to give the man credit for not convincing himself that he did it, or becoming a product of the system. You have to empathize with someone who has the perseverance and indomitable spirit to weather 23 years in jail, with everyone telling them they committed a crime they were innocent of.

The free bird leaps
on the back of the wind
and floats downstream
till the current ends
and dips his wings
in the orange sun rays
and dares to claim the sky.

But a bird that stalks
down his narrow cage
can seldom see through
his bars of rage
his wings are clipped and
his feet are tied
so he opens his throat to sing.

The caged bird sings
with fearful trill
of the things unknown
but longed for still
and is tune is heard
on the distant hillfor the caged bird
sings of freedom

The free bird thinks of another breeze
an the trade winds soft through the sighing trees
and the fat worms waiting on a dawn-bright lawn
and he names the sky his own.

But a caged bird stands on the grave of dreams
his shadow shouts on a nightmare scream
his wings are clipped and his feet are tied
so he opens his throat to sing

The caged bird sings
with a fearful trill
of things unknown
but longed for still
and his tune is heard
on the distant hill
for the caged bird
sings of freedom.

Life is unfair, but we must see the joy in his new found freedom, 23 years lost, he understands that he can either be angry for the rest of his life or he can move on and try enjoy what he has left, some people are mistreated and we must try to look past the pain they have been through and see the happiness in the good things still to come their way.
