- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 20 ก.ย. 2020
- Everyone is innocent on Death Row, at least that's what they say, but what happens when a prisoner sentenced to the death penalty is actually innocent. Aside from that being a major screw up by the judicial process, there is some financial compensation due to the newly freed innocent victim. Check out today's new video where we show you how much time spent being innocent behind bars is actually worth is dollars.

If I ever get wrongly prosecuted and my judge says "Oopsie" I'm going to jail for a real reason.
Same.
If I'm in that situation, there will be no witnesses and the judge won't be able to sentence ever again.

How is it even legal to not compensate someone wrongly incarcerated, that's madness. People who refused should be put on a death row themselves

A supervillain that’s takes ages to get caught because of mental progression after previous knowledge of being in jail, and how it’d be avoided. And- because it’d be an anime or transformer universe, sounds more like an anime though to be honest.
Imagine being locked up for 70 years for something you didn’t do and when they realize that you were innocent all along and the judge just says *oopsie*

It's super terrifying to be accused of something you didn't do. Though not really a death sentence, but not long ago i saw a cctv footage of a woman snatched a baby from the father, yet the woman screamed pretending to be the victim. Everyone ran over and tackles the father without question. It just show how easy it is to frame someone as the monster.
That's so horrible, I just can't understand some people on this planet
@@TudBoatTed It’s rather easy. Put yourself in the shoes of an innocent bystander, just going about your day. Suddenly you hear a scream. A woman yelling for a baby in the hands of a man. She yells that her son/daughter/whatever is being kidnapped.
Seriously, no average person is going to wonder if the ‘kidnapper’ in question is actually a kidnapper when another human being is perceived to be in danger. No, you would either call the cops or run over there and stop that guy yourself.
So maybe rather than faulting a bunch of people for trying to do the right thing (and failing because criminals lie about stuff) maybe focus on other things?
@@agent_sus3273 I don’t think they were talking about the people who tackled the father, I think they were talking about the framer.

People who bring up false evidence, hide evidence, and wrongly sentence should be locked up for the same amount of time the person they affected served. And eye for and eye a tooth for a tooth.
Yup. Without a question. And a judge who gave out the death penalty knowing it was wrong should take the released person's spot in line for execution. No mercy for the animals that can do that to people.
I disagree. They should be locked up for LIFE. If you’re so much of a pos that you falsify evidence and send someone to prison that you know is innocent then you deserve to spend the rest of your life in prison on max lockup 23 and 1
But remember: "An eye-for-eye and tooth-for-tooth would lead to a world of the blind and toothless".

They should compensate by calculating the average yearly income by time spent and then pay monthly.
I think it should be more than that
Yea that's a good idea however one flaw I see is inflation. Like the government would probably twist it in to giving them income biased on the year they were incarcerated instead of biased on the year they are freed like they should. I also think they should be paid more then a living wage because they didn't just lose their incomes they lost things they will NEVER get back and no amount of money can make up for those things but it can help them start over. I also think the government should provide therapy and pay for any medication for the rest of their lives. I can't imagine the mental trauma they endured. Also I think the government should help them get reacquaint with society like finding a home, help with getting reliable transportation, teach them about today's technology, help with getting an education if they choose, and anything else they may need to be able to live in the free world.

These cases are a perfect illustration of the fact that prisons are a business in the U.S; more prisoners means more funding.
I’m guessing you don’t have a lot of experience in the U.S. Prisons aren’t a business. The only people getting paid are the people working for the prison and the people who supply resources like food, clothing, electricity, etc. It costs a lot to provide for a building full of people, and all of this is being funded by either the state or the federal government, neither of which benefit from funding prisons other than the obvious. So I would imagine the prisons want LESS people, not more.
@@skymanta1222 Business: the practice of making one's living by engaging in commerce. (From the Oxford dictionary).
There’s no commercial value made from prisons, no monetary benefit for anyone except the people working in said establishment, and even then it’s not exactly a high-paying job.
Exactly who is gaining money from all this?!?!
Police and prosecutors are rewarded for successful prosecutions. They are never punished or penalised for wrongful convictions, unless someone shouts "rayciss".
@@skymanta1222 You think there’s a specific business just for making prisons? No. Contractors and construction workers benefit from it in exactly the same way as they benefit from every other building they build/construct/whatever the proper term is.

@@MrEdrftgyuji Why the cop be rewarded for a successful prosecution? That’s all the courts job, the police don’t have any part in that process except for their own testimony. It doesn’t follow that they would be rewarded because the prosecutor happened to win the case.
Also it would be really unfair to punish the arresting officer if they were given a warrant to arrest someone that turned out to be innocent. And criminals are already taking advantage of the latter, so there’s really no way to fix it to where it’s fair for everybody.

It should be 1m for each year of wrongful imprisonment.
fr the one guy only got 1.5 mil for 46 years. Thats 30 thousand a year

What.s a sus

Any official who withholds evidence like that, or any judge which takes a bribe to put an innocent person away should receive a death sentence themselves. Corruption of that magnitude needs to carry the most extreme punishment possible.
Agreed. Too bad the house always wins and the people who would have the power to enact such a law are the only ones who benefit from it not existing.
Same with judges and people in the legal system and law enforcement who take bribes to get criminals off the hook, its disgusting that these people will trash communities like that
Open your eyes, no goverment cares for it's people. It's just how the world is right now
Our laws can’t withstand corruption of that magnitude!
ABSOLUTELY!
Great video
If I hear a judge say "oopsie" after wrongfully convicting me of death row, let's just say I'll be rightfully convicted soon after ☺
This is why EVERYONE should be concerned about injustice.
Nah.
Yes!
What's up tao you look cute today
Ro han Thank you for the compliment. You added to my smile today! 💞
@@taotaostrong Soo can we be friends
5:53 the fact that the judge is smiling while saying "you are sentenced to death" always gets me
Bruhhh
Something about it makes me laugh
😁 "You're sentenced to death."
Love this channel..cant stand how the people are always nodding
Our 'justice' system is clearly in need of an overhaul.
I honestly don't think money compensates 45 years in prison, this just shows how messed up the justice system is, smh
America's justice system**
$1.5 million for 45 years is only 33k/ year or the equivalent of working for $17/hr for 45 years. Not enough
Justice system doesen't exist, only justice is your own
@@coldchillin8382 umm what about $220 million?
Cold Chillin i don't think he was talking about money and also about missing out on life.

*I shall torture you till the end of time.*
Any people who have had a hand in wrongfully accusing people for something serious,or had done their job poorly to where it landed an innocent person in prison (& destroying their lives & reputation) deserve to have the same things done to them. It's ridiculous those disgusting people get to live their lives peacefully.
This is so bizarre... the amount of injustice these men have gone through 😡
Don't forget about the legendary Yoshie Shiratori who escaped prison 4 times because he never commited a crime and hated the abuse from the guards
He murdered someone during one of his escape attempts.

1. It was not during escape, but some time after
2. The court said it was self-defence. He tried to steal one tomato from a field, and the farmer attacked him.
@@twilightgeneral777 I don't think he did
@@minecraftroksiak3306 yep, it was either steal or starve
"So you gave me a grossly unfair trial and put me in jail for 28 years. I need compensation."
"Mmmm nah now YOU have to prove YOUR INNOCENCE."
That is so backwards. I thought it was innocent until proven guilty, which if you had a SINGLE qualified person defending him he would have not had to spend ANY TIME AT ALL.
If anything, it only encourages you to commit an actual crime, seeing as you've already served the punishment.
Ikr
Nah in good ol merica its guilty utill proven guilty.
Uno reverse.
Welcome to the justice system i suppose
There’s actually a book written about this. It’s called “Just Mercy”. I highly recommend reading it!
"we will not go into details over what happened with the baby but it did not survive"
a few minutes later: "the see-men found in the victim's body did not match..."
oh no.
I literally felt sick upon realization
I already had an idea....
I didn't realize it until you wrote it down. 0.0
"you didn't prove your innocence"
Who ever said that is a maroon. You don't prove your innocence. The prosecutor must prove guilt. Failure to do so means his innocent.
Philosophically speaking, it doesn’t mean he is innocent, but it means the law ought to treat him as if he is innocent, because they lack the evidence to treat him as guilty.
@@JM-us3fr either way, innocent until guilty is what they say in the US, but guilty until innocent is what they do
If you're a men then it's always guilty even if there's no proof and everything is false and lies, even more if a woman lies/false claim
Depends on the justice system in your country. In the USA, you have to prove you're innocent. In France, the prosecutors have to prove you're guilty.
@@NightHawkGameplays US is the only free country where you need to prove your innocence. All the others are like France
Thats why it is important that people are proven guilty beyond reasonable doubt, imo its better a few guilty slips through than innocents getting punished for something they didn't do
Amen.
Especially since it’d be the same guilty amount of people slipping through the cracks either way, just less innocents being killed or nearly killed
Yep
James Madison, the fourth President of the United States, and considered the "Father Of The Constitution," said almost exactly the same thing: "It is better that ten guilty persons should go free than one innocent person should be unfairly punished."
I don't really know what's the better option, innocent until proven guilty will let murderers slide and do more, guilty until proven innocent will let innocents get accused and might get killed. I don't even know anymore
Sorry for bad English
Alternate title: 11 minutes and 17 seconds reminding you that as long as you're in America, you're never really free.
Only if you're black
You’re right. Forget all the rights I have that nobody can take from me, I’m not free. What was I even thinking while I read the 24 amendments?
@@DoomFinger511 * Only if you are a man.
this is literally what nightmares are made of..
Any official that hides evidence that exonerates someone, should be in prison themselves.
Too bad prosecutors have absolute immunity and any misconduct they do. From fabricating evidence, coercing confessions, hiding evidence that would prove innocence, lying, etc. The Supreme Court, who are all former lawyers, has made it clear that lawyers who do illegal things while prosecuting people should be protected from any justice.
Federal govt should pass a law that if someone is wrongfully incarcerated due to negligence or corruption they should be entitled to 1M for every year served, and those responsible if not found criminally negligent should be forced to forfeit 10% of their income. Prosecutors treat trials like a personal challenge, and a notch on their belt. They don’t like losing even if it means someone innocent goes to prison. They need to be accountable for their mistakes.
agreed.
I agree.
And public defenders offices should receive equal funding to district attorneys offices. The government treats prosecution as a game and incarceration as a business
This isn’t going to make prosecutors more accountable. If anything, it’s going to make it such that it’s even HARDER for innocents to get out after being wrongfully put in prison, given that they’d do everything in their power to keep the guy in there to rot rather than compensate him for a huge sum.
I agree with this but I think there should be a few modifications the person wrongfully imprisoned should start of with $350,000/year ($40/hr) and this amount should go up $88k/year ($10/hr) with the public defense receiving the same amount and the person found of causing the wrongful imprisonment should get their income cut by 8% for 5 years with the public defense taking 3% and the person wrongfully imprisoned taking 5%. With this plan, being wrongfully imprisoned for 5 years wont be like winning the lottery but people who where wrongfully imprisoned for 20 years will get a generous pay of $1.9mill on their 20th year imprisoned.

TIS : "According to the innocence project, 17 states refused to compensate, why ? Well, we have no idea"
The answer is simple, really. *M O N E Y*
Imagine being in jail for no reason for 50+ years and the judge says *oppsie*
Judge: *"Oppsie, we accidentally kept you in prison for 25 years because we thought that a fake ballistic inspector with one eye was telling the truth. Silly me"*
0:56 Dude was released from prison at the age of 44 and looks like he's 70 years old. I guess the stress of prison will do that to you.
Lol yeah
Its a graphic
Gotta love the justice system. "Justice"

Also the government: let’s pour billions into an education system that doesn’t work and nukes

'MURICA
@@chrisspeed270 nukes that’s most likely never going to be used tho.. because once they are every one on the planet dead... we wasted so much money on a suicide note
Oh they definitely don't give that much to their education system, budget cuts and underfunding is one of the reasons it's so terrible.
I literally just got finished reading Just Mercy and watching the movie and this popped up in my recommended. Very interesting! It's so insane the amount of innocent people who are uncompensated. Their life is ruined regardless of their innocence. Employers won't even bat an eye if they have been convicted of any sort of crime.
Whoever puts an innocent man in prison for a long time and says "oopsie" or "sorry" without any money back or something else should spend the same time that the innocent person spent in prison.
If I got in prison for many years for something I didn't do, and most of my family died in the years without being able to be with them in their last moments and was left alone, and worst of all, robbed of ALL available opportunities I would have had if I wasn't falsely accused and imprisoned, I'll commit crimes that would be equal for all the time I spent in agony.
Yeah, because that is the right thing to do.
ok
@@Samuel-qc7kg stop acting self righteous.
@jake walkes Yeah, because going to do harm to other people that are not responsible for your situation will surely make up for everything the court did bad. Motivation to stay out of trouble shouldn't be to stay out of prision. Someone who is willing to do what op said just deserve to be in prison, you know, to avoid possible bad things they might do with some vague justification.
@jake walkes If you spend so much time in prison thinking about your life and actions I doubt you would still think like op. And if I ever started thinking lile that then I would deserve the time in prison.
But some people follow morality despite circumstances, you know. Knowing all of this and still doing wrong is unforgiving. The evil in our hearts moves us to want to do things like that, and that is why one must learn to act with the head and not the heart, especially when the heart tells you to act so recklessly. You know deep inside it is not the right thing to do morally, so why put myself so low in exchange for nothing? What do you get by doing that? Is doing that going to make up for your time in prison? Are your loved ones going to resurect and are your years going to return? We literally get nothing. We will just feel emptiness inside, and maybe regret the rest of our lives for doing something that helped us in nothing just out of evil in our hearts and lack of self control. What a waste.
