The prosecutors/DAs who put innocent people in jail for decades while fabricating evidence, confessions and ignoring DNA evidence should go to jail for the same number if years as their victims
It’s so awful that most people have to plea even though they’re not guilty because they will most likely be convicted as guilty, but a plea will get them less time.
I suspect that if there was a way to prove it was done they would go to jail for a considerable amount of time, provided there were DA's willing to prosecute - which I doubt. There have been cases of this sort of thing, and of course of cops going after cops who do wrong, but there are few of them because a fair bit of them end up behind bars or worse themselves. Which - right or wrong - isn't that surprising. The same thing happens on a different scale in every profession, when I was a programmer/application specialist and found things people were doing wrong in the data in the systems I worked on, I went to them and told them discreetly what they had f'd up, how, why it was an issue, and what the right way to do things were - because I didn't want to create more problems than necessary for them. Obviously it's a different scale, but I did find things where people had through their stupidity or some other reason caused thousands in losses. If I found the same issue again, I did go to the managers with it, but even they often didn't "go after" those who screwed things up, they moved them around, reassigned them or something like that most of the time, it was rare for people to get reprimanded directly, and rarer yet for them to get booted or such, although it did happen on a couple of occasions that people were escorted out the building by police, into a cruiser and to the police station. It depended on what I found, the guys who ended up with the guys in blue uniforms committed fraud and theft with us having iron clad proof of it.
And then to have the police fabricate evidence against you. And then to have the same hospital that accused you, actually find the correct diagnosis but after your child is already dead and you've been imprisoned for it. Terrifying world we live in when those we pay to protect us think they know better than the evidence and decide to create evidence against you.
Agreed. I know of one instance where after the kids death, the dad got it into his head that it 'wasn't really his child' and started telling everyone that (i think it was his way of coping, but COME ON!). At the time, DNA/PATERNITY testing was new and expensive, so at first, what he said turned even more people against the mom. So, to prove her innocence her lawyer had the paernity test done and the results came out at the same time the M.E. report did. In the end, it was proven that the kid died of SIDS and that the @sshat was, indeed, the father. The moron and his minions of course tried to backpedal and apologize, but She told him and the others where to shove it, divorced him, sued them all for defamation and won, packed up and left the state. Oh and to help pay for the test, she sold the Yamaha motorcycle she'd bought her husband the previous year.
Nothing moves slower than the justice system to exonerate an innocent person. Corruption, negligence, and ego all come together to keep someone innocent in jail.
That's because prisoners are a commodity and prisons are corporate owned, not government owned. They are free labor and no one advocates for them because people are under the false belief that they cost taxpayers money.
$175,000 for totally destroying someone's life? How do these scumbag cops and DAs get away with shit like this? I'm totally flabbergasted, how horrible is it at 17 being thrown in jail accused of killing your baby when clearly it was the weirdo kid next door? Wow.... Just...
@@johntucci8826 But that one guy wasn't incarcerated very long in comparison, nowhere near 20yrs, and he got 8.5 MILLION. We are all over the place. Every man and city for themselves. Willy nilly whatever trips your little heart to beat faster. Disgusting ridiculous nonsense. Keystone Cops, Lawyers, Judges. Parole boards and all the politicians. UGH. That poor lady. She lost her daughter too. Those asses probably also didn't want to mess up that adoption so they refused to drop the charges and no one overrode their crap.🤔🤬💔
This Michael Mermel guy deserves to be in prison right now. Imagine putting so many people away for so long for crimes they didn't commit just because you don't want to admit you were wrong
It's called seeking "work" that requires little, if any actual work, with high pay. They hide behind title but they only want the title for that reason. Best wishes.
Wow, I was in disbelief with the second story.. scumbag DA ruining the 17 yr olds life, but the Kevin Fox Story takes the cake... How low can these people get? At least he was awarded real money for what they put him through, but only to pass away still young. Just imagine how often this goes on, these are just a few out of hundreds possibly thousands, it's totally disgusting
The fact the DA knew that Patty's second son had this disease and then not only still prosecuted her but got the judge to disallow the defense theory should have gotten him disbarred...
It is disturbing how some people would rather send anyone to prison rather than find the truth. When truth does not matter to these people, what is the motivation behind their actions? Winning? Money? A sense of accomplishment?
One of the issues with the US legal system appears to be its obsession with dramatic confessions rather than boring and routine forensic investigations that actually provide solid evidence
It's so shameful. Not only are they convicting innocent people, ruining them and their families lives, but they're also not getting true justice for the victims.
Unfortunately things like this are the reason that you immediately lawyer up when asked to be interviewed at a police station. I know it looks suspicious but they're wayyyy too quick to just assume the father or mother did it (even tho that's usually the case) so they have blinders on and just zero in on them. Always lawyer. up.
Shout out to my dude who was railroaded in illinois wearing a CSI short that stands for "Can't Stand Illinois" in his b roll shots for whatever feature was done on him for his story in whatever media outlet it was. We Stan a petty king!
Wowwwwwwwww 1) this video is AMAZING! Definitely reminds me of your earlier videos when you went SUPER in depth with all of your cases! This video was so so so good! 2) these cases are horrifying but what’s even scarier are some of the detectives and prosecutors😳 it’s terrifying to think that some officials out there are that conniving and careless and just plain disrespectful of our already fragile justice system
I’m very happy at the Holly Staker case finally getting an in depth look in the last segment. Such an insane railroading of an innocent man and I was completely unaware that the Lake County DA had done the same in multiple other cases, despite being close to the area. Michael Mermel should be held responsible for locking up multiple innocent men, and is a disgrace to the legal system, especially in a state that’s known for wrongful convictions.
It gives me peace of mind knowing that professional police officers, district attorneys and prosecutors ignore evidence that doesn't fit into their narrative. Evidence that could and would return someone's stolen life back to them who was innocent the entire time just completely ignored.... Imagine being thrown in prison for something you know you didn't do and nobody will even bother listening to your pleas much less take any action to set the wheels in motion to secure your release. It must be literal Hell on Earth.... What pisses me off the most is how cops can lie to everyone but not ever be held accountable for their deceit and immoral and unlawful crimes. If there is any real justice in the universe they will be held accountable and pay for all the wrong they have done to innocent civilians. If anyone read this I hope you realize I was being sarcastic in the opening sentence. I don't feel safe at all with the level of ignorance these people in positions of power possess... The US Justice System is one of the most corrupt in all the world
I had a feeling the Patricia Stallings case was going to make this list. I remember hearing about this story on Unsolved Mysteries. That poor little boy. I’m glad his mother was able to prove that she didn’t kill her son.
Heartbreaking that she found out her baby was actually killed by the hospital. Imagine losing your baby, going to jail wrongly and then finding out the hospital who reported you actually killed your baby.
I like to think of Criminally Listed as a spiritual successor to Unsolved Mysteries. The DA in the Stallings case was a bully who couldn't comprehend how anything outside of his narrow supposition of Ryan's death was a valid explanation.
Law enforcement can be so damn ruthless, they often will make a case pretend to be solved, half the time I think it's just laziness on their part, the other half is to make themselves look smart, they don't care whose lives they ruin. 😡🤬🙀😿
So the torrez guy was actually one of my dads marines at Henderson hall and i actually met him once. My dad told everyone he thought dude was a weirdo and afterhe was arrested my dad was like" i told you!!" My dad said he was an awful marine...he was sloppy and he stank...just repeating. Also, i hope tbe little girls dad can find some peace after going through all of that. Its just sp crazy that someone can kill little girls then let the little girls dad go down for his wrong doing...thats seriously evil!
The whole case is shocking all around that's why I suggested it to him and everybody seems to say the same thing George is stinky The most shocking thing of it all is the way the police treated that man from one blood smear on his shirt from picking his girl up from the bike trail could have happen to any of us
Because, unfortunatly, all the public saw at the time was him puting "bad people" away and preventing "sleesy" defence lawyers from releasing them back to the street.
Laura and Krystal got semen on them from PLAYING where people have sex in a park?! They REALLY thought that was a plausible scenario?! How do these people sleep at night knowing they're keeping innocent people in prison?!
Hmmmm, taxpayers pay to have the right perp put in prison, to make the community safer. Taxpayers aren't paying for just any conviction. Convicting the wrong person means that dangerous predators are still on the streets, plus the community is going to have to come up with a big compensation payment when it's proven the prosecutors put the wrong person in prison. I'm guessing that 8 million dollars could fill a lot of potholes or provide help for school districts. Ya know, stuff that the community could really use.
Law & Order SVU had episode (s11 e21, Tortch) where a father is wrongfully acused of causing a fire that killed his 2 daughters. The district attorney, played by Sharon Stone, upon realising the fire marshal's conclusions were wrong, makes a point of confronting him in court and publicly droping the charges. After watching this video, that scene makes the entirety of Harry Potter and The Lord of the Rings look realistic by comparisson.
The Stallings case STILL upsets me so much, that I had to skip past their story. That they even had to go through that hell is unacceptable. That should NEVER happen again as we have DNA. 😢
I remember the first case being the inspiration for a Law & Order: SVU episode. Also, we effectively got 2 uploads in one with all the twists of the last case.
I was charged once with hurting a child in my care he fell off the bed and hit his head and hit his head my mother lied and said it happened while he was with me when it happen when he was in her care 3 years later I was charged and arrested with an 100,000 bond the case last for 4 years before they dropped the charges I almost loss everything and had to file bankruptcy because I couldn't work because I was working in healthcare that was a year ago it was finally over but mentally and financially I'm still dealing and all the courts are going to say is sorry and have a nice day
Courts should not be able to say you can’t sue the state or government they are in or apart of. no state or government agency should be responsible for deciding if you can sue the government or state that’s just crazy it should be up to the people of the county, state, whatever that’s the only way to ensure fairness
1:03:41 That money sounds great but is it even enough? You can't put a dollar amount on your child. Furthermore, then being found guilty while you're mourning a very special loss and at the most devasted rock bottom place in your heart. Then you're arrested accused and are interrogated for far too long. Now you're trying to mourn the loss of the love of your life as well as your freedom while sitting in prison for umpteen years for something you would never do. Its mind-blowing. I don't understand how they are still sane? God bless all the people affected in these stories as well as the many other wrongfully convicted people. I feel before every death sentence is about a few years from being upheld they need to re-investigate with the most up-to-date technology! 😢
This why you should have 100% proof and charge you or do nothing if no proof. If a decision is made, the ones involved shoild be charged instead. Everyone involved (jidges, lawyers, jury) should be charged instead. Ridiculous
I was questioned for a crime I didn't do for 3 and a half days straight without sleep and refused to admit to it. I'll never understand people admitting to something they didn't do after 24 hours. That's just insane to me
They say never say what you won’t do; HOWEVER; I’m never admitting to anything that I did not do or make up some story especially about murdering and or molesting my child. I’ll never understand….
Why would they put an ethylene or ethanol..whatever!...drip in a baby they thought was suffering from poisoning from that??? Or did I misunderstand? Any Docs around? That sounded so freaky to me. These poor people. All those mistakes! That first one with the outstanding prosecutor...wow! Amazing man to admit and apologize. Jeez we need him to run for POTUS. Thank you CL. God be with all these people. RIP sweet angel babies🙏🏼💔🕊️🪽😓
ALL of the wrongly convicted were discriminated against for one reason or another and mainly for not having enough money to buy their freedom. Social status, race, ethnicity, teen mother...the works. Absolutely disgusting vile people those DAs, prosecutors, and detectives. Walmart employees are held to a higher standard of honesty.
Look up Louise Reynolds, Kingston Ontario Canada. I live in this town. There have been two serious wrongful convictions in the city but she is by far the worst
So many of these are in Illinois. I will never live there. Sounds like a lot of people in power do not need to be. As another person commented, sometimes the people in charge are the criminals.
Yup. IL cannot elect an honest person to office if they tried. As I said in an earlier comment….one could make a whole channel of videos just on how corrupt IL is.
Sad to say, but this is another reason to keep children out of this evil world. Bad enough the world will hurt your children, but it will use them to torment and punish YOU!
Its amazing just how hard these prosecutors double down and pull ridiculous odeas out of their @asses when their proven wrong. It's revolting bit not surprising.
It's really sad how the police were so incompetent back then. And because they forced confessions from most. We didn't trust the police force back then. But now things are better in aspects. But there is work needing to be done still. These stories are proof that it used to be so much worse.
One note, it was Waller's successor, not his predecessor, that declined to continue prosecuting Mr. Starks. What a fascinating bunch of stories. Cops with tunnel vision are the worst thing in law enforcement I think.
The DA in the case with the 17 year old girl should definitely be prosecuted, they system protected him instead of the innocent girl or that innocent baby.
The prosecutors/DAs who put innocent people in jail for decades while fabricating evidence, confessions and ignoring DNA evidence should go to jail for the same number if years as their victims
Its because of inconsiderate selfishness.... ita not them so why care right?⁷
They had the proof and they ignored it...
They should also forfeit all money and assets to those they wrongly convicted.
It’s so awful that most people have to plea even though they’re not guilty because they will most likely be convicted as guilty, but a plea will get them less time.
Nah, they're in a position of public trust. Life sentence, no parole.
I suspect that if there was a way to prove it was done they would go to jail for a considerable amount of time, provided there were DA's willing to prosecute - which I doubt. There have been cases of this sort of thing, and of course of cops going after cops who do wrong, but there are few of them because a fair bit of them end up behind bars or worse themselves.

It's sad enough to lose a child but to be accused of killing your child on top of that would be more of a living nightmare
And then to have the police fabricate evidence against you. And then to have the same hospital that accused you, actually find the correct diagnosis but after your child is already dead and you've been imprisoned for it. Terrifying world we live in when those we pay to protect us think they know better than the evidence and decide to create evidence against you.

Yeah! A new CL episode! thanks CL!
ill give it a like before watching it cause i already know how good it is in advance
Thanks for this video CL

Can remember Patricias case from unsolved mysteries and the lifetime movie about this case where Elliott from law and order svu played the dad so sad
I think there was an SVU episode inspired by the case.
I was charged once with hurting a child in my care he fell off the bed and hit his head and hit his head my mother lied and said it happened while he was with me when it happen when he was in her care 3 years later I was charged and arrested with an 100,000 bond the case last for 4 years before they dropped the charges I almost loss everything and had to file bankruptcy because I couldn't work because I was working in healthcare that was a year ago it was finally over but mentally and financially I'm still dealing and all the courts are going to say is sorry and have a nice day

This why you should have 100% proof and charge you or do nothing if no proof. If a decision is made, the ones involved shoild be charged instead. Everyone involved (jidges, lawyers, jury) should be charged instead. Ridiculous
I was questioned for a crime I didn't do for 3 and a half days straight without sleep and refused to admit to it. I'll never understand people admitting to something they didn't do after 24 hours. That's just insane to me
Delirium. Exhaustion. It’s why it’s such a successful interrogation technique, despite its obvious flaws.
"The victim had bad hygiene".....who says that!?
Brilliant as usual. Bravo and thank you!
If that p.o.s.da lied about the michelle murphy case, how many other case has he lied about?!
They say never say what you won’t do; HOWEVER; I’m never admitting to anything that I did not do or make up some story especially about murdering and or molesting my child. I’ll never understand….
anger inducing. Good vid
Thank you!!!
Why would they put an ethylene or ethanol..whatever!...drip in a baby they thought was suffering from poisoning from that??? Or did I misunderstand? Any Docs around? That sounded so freaky to me.
These poor people. All those mistakes! That first one with the outstanding prosecutor...wow! Amazing man to admit and apologize. Jeez we need him to run for POTUS.
Thank you CL. God be with all these people. RIP sweet angel babies🙏🏼💔🕊️🪽😓
Thanks for the upload!
Was Travis's dad's blood tested?
Learning about Michael Mermel makes me want to go take a very long shower, what a horrible human.
So much Wakeguan County disturbances.
Feel better, Rob!
Souless cops and prosecutors!!! If that doesn't enrage you, something is terribly wrong with you.
ALL of the wrongly convicted were discriminated against for one reason or another and mainly for not having enough money to buy their freedom. Social status, race, ethnicity, teen mother...the works. Absolutely disgusting vile people those DAs, prosecutors, and detectives. Walmart employees are held to a higher standard of honesty.
Lesson here, STF away from northern Illinois! ESPECIALLY if you're innocent!
I love the long videos with lots of content, but #3 was a little tough to follow.
Look up Louise Reynolds, Kingston Ontario Canada.
I live in this town. There have been two serious wrongful convictions in the city but she is by far the worst
This is one of the Charles Smith cases, correct?
@@GoBlueGirl78 indeed it is.
@@ainsleycripps6593 Ugh. He ruined so many lives. (I’m in ON, too.)
The Stallings were also on forensic files as well..
And unsolved mysteries
Cases like these are why you ALWAYS ask for a lawyer! Innocent or not it's better to have someone on your side.
I can't watch wrongly accused videos! I am pissed off enough.
So many of these are in Illinois. I will never live there. Sounds like a lot of people in power do not need to be. As another person commented, sometimes the people in charge are the criminals.
Yup. IL cannot elect an honest person to office if they tried. As I said in an earlier comment….one could make a whole channel of videos just on how corrupt IL is.
Sad to say, but this is another reason to keep children out of this evil world. Bad enough the world will hurt your children, but it will use them to torment and punish YOU!
Wow, not so much wrongly accused as opposed to purposely wronged by those in charge of investigating and prosecuting! Its not right.
These crooked-ass prosecutors
Your narrating makes me fall asleep every time i watch an episode, so I never finish an episode.
Note to self: Stay outta Waukegan.
Lake County IL is not a good place to live in.
Its amazing just how hard these prosecutors double down and pull ridiculous odeas out of their @asses when their proven wrong. It's revolting bit not surprising.
Yes 💯💯🙌🏾
It's really sad how the police were so incompetent back then. And because they forced confessions from most. We didn't trust the police force back then. But now things are better in aspects. But there is work needing to be done still. These stories are proof that it used to be so much worse.
One note, it was Waller's successor, not his predecessor, that declined to continue prosecuting Mr. Starks. What a fascinating bunch of stories. Cops with tunnel vision are the worst thing in law enforcement I think.
What a nasty piece of work, that Michael Waller (not sure about the surname). Ruthless to the bone.
My bruva, Bravissimo! Certified Diamond 💎
Yes!
The DA in the case with the 17 year old girl should definitely be prosecuted, they system protected him instead of the innocent girl or that innocent baby.
