William Elbaum what is wrong with you? What hurt you so much to have this pain in your heart to not understand what they have been through, what has been taken from they. I'll pray that you find the answer to my questions.
Almost 40 years later, the key witness in the Ricky Jackson case admitted he lied. 40 years...How could this guy even sleep at night knowing he sent an innocent man to jail, to death row? How?! So sad!
Given he was just a kid it wouldn’t surprise me if he was coerced by police. Still, I remember when he was released, Jackson said he didnt bear malice toward him.
And this is why the death penalty needs to be outlawed. How can anyone be 100% sure they are executing the right man based on a racists and corrupt police system, gullible jurors and prosecutors who are in bed with cops and worry more about their political careers than the people they serve?
@@PinkCow0 we don't have to agree but I can tell you that the system is racist, no one is saying it is intentionally racist. This could be a systemic psychological legacy of the "slaver catcher" days and the police system was not built to protect the "slaves" but to protect against them. Having studied organisational dynamics you can't deny the impact the slave days have had on today's police force. Like we don't have to agree as we see things differently. Those that see things my way are advocating for police to be defunded and an alternative to the current system of policing found and implemented because the policing methodology (not reason, methodology) that is being done today is the same as the slavery days.
@Corrupt famous. That should including those lazy liars of police investigators. They'd done a bad job as usual and that was so common back then. Poor families, that had suffered throughout such nasty ordeal.
Denise G- Hill millions won’t bring back the 39 years and his parents it’s just the fact that nothing can be done about. Their years that they served. Them millions won’t bring back his mother or father it’s just so stupid that the police rely on what a 12 year old child said
Any witness who lies and causes someone to be wrongfully convicted ought to be given a life sentence. Same goes for cops and prosecutors. I can't imagine anything worse than being innocent and locked up in prison.
Bullshit! There are many cases where there is NO doubt the accused committed the crime, because he confessed or they have security camera video of him committing the crime. Those are just two examples of cases where there is no doubt of guilt.
Unfortunately, they can only sue in civil court, for money only. It's up to the police or the District Attorney to file criminal charges, which NEVER happens. The cops have the blue wall of silence, and the DA works directly with the police on a variety of issues, creating a conflict of interest. Real justice is a very long ways off still. Cases like these break my heart.
they deserve $100,000,000 every single one of them! they were in prison for 20 years for no reason.. imagine being locked up with no freedom and not being able to see your family for 20 years when u fucking did nothing.
$100,000 thats NOTHING tbh no money can ever make up for loosing that much time of your life... No educations... no wife or kids because of this. But yeah they should atleast get enough money for not needing to work 1 day of their life and just enjoy the rest of their life. God i hate the goverment so much i hope this happens to those who controls this 1 day.
Those brothers, need to be compensated. For getting their lives stolen away . I can tell you, you don't get that back. God is always good. With a capital G.
I'm not familiar with American law but doesn't the state have to pay these poor people, who have been wrongfully incarcerated, a high compensation for pain and suffering?
+Anna H. they will have to put a motion to sue the police, the prosecution lawyers and anyone else-along with the respective companies that they work for-for Wrongful Arrest, Wrongful prosecution, compensation for lost-of-freedom and so forth. But you will think that, since the courts accuses them for whatever reason..and manages to break it down into separate charges (ex: a person shots and kills another, they won't be charged JUST for murder..they will be charged for murder in the first and second degree...which has their own preferred time in prison-and depending on how it led up to the murder stage, the accused will be charged for that...that the judicial system would automatically have a compensation guideline in place.
they should all be paid millions for wrongful convictions under a racist system. sure time is way more valuable then money but that's the least they can do .

10k per year is what a person makes usually, so for 20 years they have to give 200k for each one of them plus the money for wasting their lives in a jail, that would be like 100k for each. So 300k for each is plenty of money to build a life but it's to much money so instead of giving more than those 300k each, they should put someone managing the money, like a social worker or something, to keep them from fucking the money. Like, you can have this amount but if only it is to buy a home and build your life. Something like keeping an eye on what they are spending and if it says something bad, blocking the money.
EXCELLENT!! The man who was locked up for 39 years seems to have an incredible amount of wisdom. All the time lost. At least he is out. Wonderful story.
And people will wonder why black people are so angry and oppose the system. These are one of the reasons folks. There is no human being that will be upset at any system that treats them justly. Yeah there are bad people in every race or community but when you start treating people as individuals and treat every case as a unique event then most of wrong incarceration will be avoided.I know I am probably talking to thin air but it is the truth.
Notfor Theclout but it is a race thing especially with the rick part. Historically as well there’s been many things like that as well. Like the 14 yr old black boy who received a death penalty for a crime a stinky white man did!!
Wtf planet are you fools living on to think its NOT a race issue! FOH!.. Then again... I was told be careful arguing with fools in public, the regular people may get confused on which is the fool...
I dont know how i might feel after 20 years in jail but after i looked at these guys i felt their pain and felt the rage . i tried to feel them and i felt the rage so i said it bro
Imagine loosing both parents after being wrongfully imprisoned, now set free and they are not even there to hug them. I don't how how I would be able to deal with that. God heals, may he heal you from all negative immotions
+suomynona I'm thinking that if the sentences were vacated then they are not considered felons anymore. The problem I think they will face is gaining employment. Employers might consider them unfit because they are by now institutionalized from serving such long sentences. They need to be compensated...smh
I’m not an emotional person, but for some reason this touched me a lot and I’m in tears. I can’t believe how the justice system works, and how these innocent men managed to stay positive after so many years of their lives being robbed from them, they deserve so much ❤️
how do you even compensate for life. money is just an object and money cant buy these men there family back that they have lost. The American justice system is broken. sex offenders get less time the drug traffickers and people are wrongfully convicted daily just because they lack a good attorney. Honestly the saddest video ive watched on youtube
I'm so happy to see Ricky Jackson there to show support! Those men certainly deserve their freedom , an apology and compensation for the time that they will never have back. God bless them all!
Dennis Clark Unfortunately the judicial system in some of these districts make it so that people have to sign paperwork stating both parties agree to not try the case again and the affected persons will not sue. The district attorneys and police officers get away with these injustices Scott free without any repercussions. You know this country is fucked up when Hulk Hogan can receive $100 million for a leaked sex tape and an innocent man who spent more than half his life in prison for a crime he didn't commit has to just accept his freedom as payment and move on with his life.
What if the wrongfully convicted ("affected persons") decline to sign those paperwork, is there recourse for justice? *IF* I was thrown in jail for 39 years for something I didn't do, by the time I come out I am probably going to say "FUCK IT" and bring a buncha motherfuckas down wit me.
This breaks my heart. All those years they’ve lost there prime years aswell. They deserve millions in compensation so they can live the rest of there life the best they possibly can
i was one as well i was railroaded by my own lawyer with the prosecutor and a lesbian female detective i had to spend a month in jail for an assault that never happened mind you i never had a criminal record in my life, wow my heart goes out to them and fuck Baltimore county police
most black men are wrongfully locked up- why can I say that with certainty? 1- if there is no victim there is no crime. every soul put in a cage because he put something in his own body is no criminal. 2- The reality is this- Study and study shows that if you don't have much contact with Chinese (for example) their faces tend to look alike. So if a 'white' victim hasn't had much contact with black face types it far easier for them to falsely identify a suspect.
My heart cries for these men...so sad to know how many if these men and women are in the same position now... my ex-girlfriend is locked up for a murder she didn't commit...the fight is ongoing and real.. this is a blessing for these men after all this time....Look at God!
This is a bigger deal than most realize, nah it ain’t just ahh “they took 39 years of his life” they literally took about half of his ONE AND ONLY life away. Just really think about how bad that is. We will all die and imagine wrongfully being accused and jailed for even one year of your only life.
It's so unfortunate that that one mans parents died so now he can't even touch them, he missed so much from his parents thanks to the people that lied.
Afra Riley of your god exists then why did he let such an innocent face such a harsh treatment? fucking adults believing in imaginary friends I believe in spider, you got the Bible as the proof of Jesus, I've got some good ol Stan Lee Spiderman comics. Fucking religious nutjobs

After his release, Jackson was awarded $1 million dollars in 2015 in compensation by the state of Ohio for his decades in prison due to the wrongful conviction.[8] In 2016 he received an additional $2.65 million settlement from the state Court of Claims, based on estimates of lost income.[9] Jackson is believed to have served the longest prison term of anyone in the United States who has been exonerated. In April 2015, the Bridgeman brothers were awarded a combined $1.6 million in compensation for their imprisonment. Wiley Bridgeman was to receive $969,093, after serving 37 years, and Kwame Ajamu to get $647,578; he had served 28 years.[10] In April 2016, it was announced that the Bridgeman brothers would receive an additional $4.38 million in compensation from the state. A judge approved the settlement that will award Wiley Bridgeman about $2.4 million and Kwame Ajuba $2 million.
These guys should get a salary of 60k x how many years they did, espically the guy who did 39 years ... what a waste of a life by the system. He should be awarded a few mill
This is such a tragedy among the black men that are innocent of these heinous crimes. Their release would be a real blessing, but it doesn't end there. These gentlemen would have to have their criminal records expunged. I will never forget the similar case of the , Central Park Five. They were all awarded financial compensation for their unjust stay in prison. I sincerely hope the same for these gentlemen.

Ikr. Fuck this stupid ass fake social "experiments" that make sheep cry. This video is what people should be crying over
It took 20 years to figure this shit out smh. I hope they get well paid I mean millions
Brandon Jackson unfortunately they only granted them 25k. Sad.
I think over 20k is enough cookie cutter sharks...
SRRN Insect no 20k is nothing for 20 years bloody hell they need minimum 10,000,000
10k per year is what a person makes usually, so for 20 years they have to give 200k for each one of them plus the money for wasting their lives in a jail, that would be like 100k for each. So 300k for each is plenty of money to build a life but it's to much money so instead of giving more than those 300k each, they should put someone managing the money, like a social worker or something, to keep them from fucking the money. Like, you can have this amount but if only it is to buy a home and build your life. Something like keeping an eye on what they are spending and if it says something bad, blocking the money.
Monk Wales I'm just going to expect you're young but 10k is less than the poverty line. Most middle class people make 50-70k a year.
Found a new HERO. His name is RICKY JACKSON💪💪💪💪💪💪💪
EXCELLENT!! The man who was locked up for 39 years seems to have an incredible amount of wisdom. All the time lost. At least he is out. Wonderful story.
And people will wonder why black people are so angry and oppose the system. These are one of the reasons folks. There is no human being that will be upset at any system that treats them justly. Yeah there are bad people in every race or community but when you start treating people as individuals and treat every case as a unique event then most of wrong incarceration will be avoided.I know I am probably talking to thin air but it is the truth.
OK, the problem is assholes makes this a race thing. When it's an obvious have vs the have nots. Smh
Notfor Theclout but it is a race thing especially with the rick part. Historically as well there’s been many things like that as well. Like the 14 yr old black boy who received a death penalty for a crime a stinky white man did!!
Wtf planet are you fools living on to think its NOT a race issue! FOH!.. Then again... I was told be careful arguing with fools in public, the regular people may get confused on which is the fool...
Not all black people are innocent crime has no colour...you cannot say that most of the black people in prison are innocent
@@notfortheclout1181 Is is a race
if i serve 20 years for something i never did i definitely might go on a massacre when im free
I don't think so bro, been locked up for that long will make you soft.
I dont know how i might feel after 20 years in jail but after i looked at these guys i felt their pain and felt the rage . i tried to feel them and i felt the rage so i said it bro
Fuck THAT if not before they take me on some Retarded Bullshit I'll KILL MYSELF.
GABRIELA DAWSON girls
No Fiction OK What about us lol.
OMG 39 years, it''s unbelievable.
Imagine loosing both parents after being wrongfully imprisoned, now set free and they are not even there to hug them. I don't how how I would be able to deal with that. God heals, may he heal you from all negative immotions
I Can't control my tear life is tough
GOD for give us..
😭😭
the sad part is now this man who was wrongfully accused can't get certain jobs or even vote...
+ebk bk That isnt the sad part for them, they are completely lost in the system and probably never would vote after this.
I'm sure he will, he'll get some special permission due to his situation to vote
Richard Garcia
WHAT? the fu** does that mean?
+suomynona I'm thinking that if the sentences were vacated then they are not considered felons anymore. The problem I think they will face is gaining employment. Employers might consider them unfit because they are by now institutionalized from serving such long sentences. They need to be compensated...smh
I know.
That 57 year old guy looked really good for his age though
the sad part is there's thousands of cases like this and unfortunately they will live out their sentences or die in prison.
Cynnamon Nelson so sad
It reminds me of when God instructed Moses to go and tell Pharaoh to “let my people go” after 400 years of slavery
(1619-2019)
Reparations
I’m not an emotional person, but for some reason this touched me a lot and I’m in tears. I can’t believe how the justice system works, and how these innocent men managed to stay positive after so many years of their lives being robbed from them, they deserve so much ❤️
they should sentence that witness who lied to 20 years in prison.
Proving that a witness lied (intentionally made a false statement) is an extremely difficult thing to do.
whether it's 25k dollars or 2.5 million dollars how printed papers can compensate the yrs he lost missing his beloved ones
SANGAMITHRA SWAMINATHAN oh it better be 2.5 mill or the judge who sentenced them should catch it .
Abu Hajaar they only gave him 25k
beastkay byt just wow man with those money ill have bought a gun and killled the one who lied
Lol dude money is what I'd be snatching out the systems ass 25 mil ain't shit to the us they make Trillions
how do you even compensate for life. money is just an object and money cant buy these men there family back that they have lost. The American justice system is broken. sex offenders get less time the drug traffickers and people are wrongfully convicted daily just because they lack a good attorney. Honestly the saddest video ive watched on youtube
Yup what a cruel world we live in
+Alex Zepeda No. A cruel nation you mean...The usa has more prisoners then any country in the world...
AWE39V8 !!!! You're right I dont. Does not change the fact what I say is a fact.
+I Am Jacks Username if america is a cruel country, why is it tied at 17 for the least corrupt nations in 2014?
Hyperfox eye. You think America is not corrupt? You're naive as hell.
Damn that broke my heart seeing that😞
I'm so happy to see Ricky Jackson there to show support! Those men certainly deserve their freedom , an apology and compensation for the time that they will never have back. God bless them all!
all ya just shut up, and I hope these wrongly convicted people will sue them broke, sue the crap out the judicial system
Dennis Clark
i so agree with the sue part you mentioned.
Dennis Clark
Unfortunately the judicial system in some of these districts make it so that people have to sign paperwork stating both parties agree to not try the case again and the affected persons will not sue. The district attorneys and police officers get away with these injustices Scott free without any repercussions. You know this country is fucked up when Hulk Hogan can receive $100 million for a leaked sex tape and an innocent man who spent more than half his life in prison for a crime he didn't commit has to just accept his freedom as payment and move on with his life.
What if the wrongfully convicted ("affected persons") decline to sign those paperwork, is there recourse for justice?
*IF* I was thrown in jail for 39 years for something I didn't do, by the time I come out I am probably going to say "FUCK IT" and bring a buncha motherfuckas down wit me.
sir we love you all the way from Jamaica God is good
GOD IS GOOD ALL THE TIME!
In JESUS RIGHTEOUS HOLY MIGHTY NAME AMEN HALLELUJAH
I feel for these men. Imagine I was in jail for years for something I did not commit I would not know what to do
This breaks my heart. All those years they’ve lost there prime years aswell. They deserve millions in compensation so they can live the rest of there life the best they possibly can
"life is so fast now, it's just about a text"... God this man has suffered
just imagine other blck ppl that wrongfully looked up
i was one as well i was railroaded by my own lawyer with the prosecutor and a lesbian female detective i had to spend a month in jail for an assault that never happened mind you i never had a criminal record in my life, wow my heart goes out to them and fuck Baltimore county police
+K Simms smh the system is a joke
Demarcus Shields so much in south east asian countries.
Joseph Prudence
most black men are wrongfully locked up-
why can I say that with certainty?
1- if there is no victim there is no crime.
every soul put in a cage because he put something in his own body is no criminal.
2- The reality is this- Study and study shows that if you don't have much contact with Chinese (for example) their faces tend to look alike. So if a 'white' victim hasn't had much contact with black face types it far easier for them to falsely identify a suspect.
wow. just wow. the system failed them so bad. I would be fighting for a large some of $$$
what can money make for you man he might die in the next 10years
This man deserves a massive compinsation
th-cam.com/video/V6EUsDm989Y/w-d-xo.html
39 years.. you strong STRONG man!! X
My heart cries for these men...so sad to know how many if these men and women are in the same position now... my ex-girlfriend is locked up for a murder she didn't commit...the fight is ongoing and real..
this is a blessing for these men after all this time....Look at God!
Keep fighting
I am super sorry she will get out and God is going to restore all the lost time that she had lost bahind bars
😭😭
RICKY JACKSON, YOU ARE A GREAT WONDERFUL MAN..........
robbed of 20 years and his parents, omfg :'(
The state should pay these men for every single dollar they would have earned if they were not incarcerated, and then multiply that figure by 10.
They deserve MINIMUM $20million, their criminal record removed and a written apology!
Totally agree. Multiply the figure by the amount of years been locked up.
@@elizabethtimothy4776 they also deserve a public confession n apology, plus the minimum 20 million. Dem wicked to us blacks
The amount of emotion in that mans voice... It’s incredible that he survived.
This is a bigger deal than most realize, nah it ain’t just ahh “they took 39 years of his life” they literally took about half of his ONE AND ONLY life away. Just really think about how bad that is. We will all die and imagine wrongfully being accused and jailed for even one year of your only life.
please God bless for a good people i am crying
😢😢😢God have mercy on our men😕😭😭heart breaking!
Derrick is such a handsome youngman and thank God for the innocents project
Rain Bowens yes God
Rain Bowens your fine too ms rains. I like what I see
Thank you Lord, 3 down, a million to go ❤👍
Thank you Kieley Morris and channel 4 , keep reporting the injustices of this world.
It's so unfortunate that that one mans parents died so now he can't even touch them, he missed so much from his parents thanks to the people that lied.
I'm glad the man is free. Jesus be with him.
Afra Riley of your god exists then why did he let such an innocent face such a harsh treatment?
fucking adults believing in imaginary friends
I believe in spider, you got the Bible as the proof of Jesus, I've got some good ol Stan Lee Spiderman comics.
Fucking religious nutjobs
Brown Guy I believe in myself
Amen Amen.
I'm white & I believe these gentlemen were ripped of their life. Stay STRONG & trust the Lord has ur back!
Jill & Rescue Cats OnTH-cam This is what wrong believing and that white men we call jesus.
Jill Connolly no lord exist
THANKING GOD FOR THESE MEN. GOD THANK YOU
It's warms the heart immeasurably, when situations, correct themselves 👊🏾
This is so unfair it's just cuz they're black that they didn't trust them
Like we didn't trust the "black" Obama. Ha, ha, ha.
whether they are black or white its a tragedy.
Oh my God lost both his parents.
That's messed up
Since 1995? Seriously
Amerilkkka
1975
Damn his parents died knowing their son is on death row for a crime he didn't commit
heartbreaking for the parents, the freed young man & myself, for hearing that.
this world is fucked up
I can't imagine. I'm 38 years old, so in perspective, he was in prison the length of my entire life.
same here, except that the other dudes were convicted when i was born in 95'.
Exactly, few generations have passed him bye as he mentioned the tech age, all the inventions! It is unthinkable.
TO God Be The Glory joy peace love and happiness go forward don't look back u can't that but I can change the future put God first let him lead,guide,&direct yall pathway give to him and let go many blessings for yall.
After his release, Jackson was awarded $1 million dollars in 2015 in compensation by the state of Ohio for his decades in prison due to the wrongful conviction.[8] In 2016 he received an additional $2.65 million settlement from the state Court of Claims, based on estimates of lost income.[9] Jackson is believed to have served the longest prison term of anyone in the United States who has been exonerated.
In April 2015, the Bridgeman brothers were awarded a combined $1.6 million in compensation for their imprisonment. Wiley Bridgeman was to receive $969,093, after serving 37 years, and Kwame Ajamu to get $647,578; he had served 28 years.[10] In April 2016, it was announced that the Bridgeman brothers would receive an additional $4.38 million in compensation from the state. A judge approved the settlement that will award Wiley Bridgeman about $2.4 million and Kwame Ajuba $2 million.
Cannot buy the lost time. It's sad.
KUDOS to the INNOCENCE PROJECT!! 👍😻❤️ Lots of Love
How many more are innocent in jail? SHAMEFUL😩
These guys should get a salary of 60k x how many years they did, espically the guy who did 39 years ... what a waste of a life by the system. He should be awarded a few mill
they paid him 25k
Be thankful for what you have.
I know man..
they need to retry a lot of black people and minorities serving previous sentences handed out during the racist years.
Abu Hajaar I agree.. I can’t even imagine.. all this because they were an easy target.. because of their skin color.. bullshit.
As a black American every year is racist years lol racism will never end and that’s the sad reality
God Bless them All💜🙏
Gosh! This caused me so much pain in my heart, can't stop tears rolling
The judge should be sitting 20 years as well
So very happy for all of you. God always makes a way!
RBLong0928 Thank you. God Bless you.
Stop Liz
This is such a tragedy among the black men that are innocent of these heinous crimes. Their release would be a real blessing, but it doesn't end there. These gentlemen would have to have their criminal records expunged. I will never forget the similar case of the , Central Park Five. They were all awarded financial compensation for their unjust stay in prison. I sincerely hope the same for these gentlemen.
I can admit I’ve never seen a grown man cry until now 🥰 freedom is the cause
My God this has me in tears just imagine how many more innocent ppl are locked up.
