Wrongfully Convicted Black Man Is Entitled to No Money from The State After 43 Years In Prison,

[SIZE=4][COLOR=rgb(184, 49, 47)]RACIST USA JUSTICE SYSTEM

[COLOR=rgb(0, 0, 0)]A Missouri man convicted of triple murder four decades ago is able to spend this holiday season home with family after courts ruled that he was wrongfully convicted.

Despite being a victim of the state, he will not receive any form of compensation from the state in restitution. However, a GoFundMe launched by the Midwest Innocence Project over the summer with a goal of $7,500 has far surpassed the goal of the nonprofit corporation.

On Tuesday, Nov. 23, Kevin Strickland was exonerated by a “Show Me” state judge of an over 40-year murder conviction he received in 1979. Evidence that was previously ignored was brought forward by a Jackson County prosecutor and was key in gaining Strickland’s new freedom.[/SIZE]

[SIZE=4][COLOR=rgb(0, 0, 0)]The state’s attorney Jean Peters Baker spoke on this victory, saying, “To say we’re extremely pleased and grateful is an understatement. This brings justice — finally — to a man who has tragically suffered so so greatly as a result of this wrongful conviction.”

As Strickland exited the Western Missouri Correctional Center, he spoke about his emotions to a group of reporters.

“I’m not necessarily angry. It’s a lot. I think I’ve created emotions that you all don’t know about just yet,” the now 62-year-old shared. “Joy, sorrow, fear. I am trying to figure out how to put them together.”

He further committed himself to work in criminal justice reform, in hopes that he can prevent this from “happening to someone else.”

The presiding judge, James Welsh, said that he was presented with “clear and convincing evidence” that “undermines the Court’s confidence in the judgement of conviction.”

The community has also rallied around Strickland’s story to help him return to some normalcy as he begins to reintegrate into society. The GoFundMe has reached the $1.1 million mark, just $100,000 short of a new $1.2 million goal. Many donors contributed $5,000 each.

Huyu ako na right ya kuchukua AR-15 na ku-storm a meeting of predominantly white people alafu acheze kama yeye.

By Thursday night, over $1,000,000 had been donated to the GoFundMe fundraiser for Kevin Strickland, the now 62-year-old man released from a Missouri prison Tuesday after being wrongfully imprisoned since 1979 for a triple homicide he had no part in, according to The Associated Press.
Judge James Welsh, a retired Missouri Court of Appeals judge, heard the evidentiary hearing that led to Strickland’s release in a first-of-its-kind case in the state. Jackson County Prosecutor Jean Peters Baker used a new state law to request the hearing in August, claiming that most of the evidence used to convict Strickland had been recanted or disproven over the last 42 years.
Strickland was imprisoned as one of four accused shooters who killed Larry Ingram, 21; John Walker, 20; and Sherrie Black, 22, at a home in Kansas City in 1978.

Kuna some states that I wonder why blacks even live there to be honest . Missouri, Mississippi, Tennessee, some how Texas…

Very sad, bro…but alutta continua…Life goes on.

Actually the state will compensate him. A request has to be made by the Governor to lawmakers and that will be a problem given the present Governor. But he will be given $65k per year.

Kevin Strickland — who a judge on Tuesday confirmed has suffered Missouri’s longest known wrongful conviction — will not receive any compensation from the state for his more than 42 years behind bars. Judge James Welsh ordered the release of Strickland, 62, after Jackson County prosecutors, using a new state law, argued he was innocent in a 1978 triple murder in Kansas City and should “not remain in custody a day longer.” In Missouri, the wrongly convicted are almost always spit out of the system with nothing from the government that imprisoned them. Instead, they rely on nonprofits and other exonerees to get back on their feet, post-conviction lawyers say.

That’s because Missouri’s compensation law only allows for payments to prisoners who prove their innocence through a specific DNA testing statute. That was not the case for Strickland, or most exonerees across America. Unlike guilty prisoners, a parole officer will not help Strickland find counseling, housing or work. And unlike exonerees in some other states, he will not be eligible through a compensation package for social services, such as participating in the state’s healthcare program.

so he should kill inocent people, what will he gain by that

so he should kill inocent people, what will he gain by that

What did he gain in the 43 years he spent in jail for a crime he didn’t commit? Next time the government will think twice about incarcerating people for decades based on shaky evidence and refusing to compensate them for their pain. Think of those innocent people as martyrs.

Lets wait and see if he’ll be given financial advise with those millions or if he’ll be living on the streets in a while…

This is a normal occurrence in the US.

There are thousands of INNOCENT POOR people in US prisons mostly because they took plea deals to avoid longer sentences. USA ni MAVI

I would celebrate he does it.

Cheza kama yeye na High Cap magazine

Tennessee is rabidly racist, Texas is not that really bad. Some places like Austin, Houston, Dallas na Arlington are quite liberal and multiracial. Shida ni border places na desert-ish places penye illiterate redheads reside. I have never been to Missouri or Mississippi to assess the situation.

Your dense friend @patco says that there is No Racism in the USA. What is your take on that?

There are two types of racism here. The real racism that a Black person like me experiences from time to time and the systemic racism which is claimed to be propagated by the government. The first one is there because of ignorant fellows but it’s reducing (not dying out) because people are learning to treat others with respect even though Blacks (not Africans) are doing everything to make sure that doesn’t happen. Systemic racism on the other hand is still controversial. People ask if there is systemic racism, then why are Africans and Carribeans thriving in the US. It’s really not 1+1 as you like putting it. It’s so extensive and it would require a whole book to explain. Anyway on my part, I would say that racism exists but not in the way politicians always put it. 95% of the time, the US is an Excellent place to live and work if you work hard and follow the laid out rules. Bad luck happens sometimes though.

Hapo umejieleza vizuri. Racism is like Tribalism here. No nation is perfect even in Europe racism exists even between Whites of different geographical areas. Spaniards and Italians are looked down upon even though to us they look white. Eastern Europeans are hated in the West just like South African Negroes hate other blacks.

Racism will only decline over time but haitawahi isha kabisa. If they discriminate amongst whites what about a black or Brown person.

Correc. Hata US, Mexicans and other Latinos are heavily discriminated against housing, employment and other stuff because many are believed to be drug dealers and illegal immigrants (which is true to some extent but that’s a story for another day). Like mimi sioni hii kitu ikiisha anytime soon, but itareduce. I have also met Kenyans who are tribal yet we are both in a foreign country. It’s a conundrum fr.
