Can you believe that this man was in prison for 52 years for a crime that he did NOT commit?  It just goes to show that there are innocent people in jail/prison for crimes that they didn’t commit.  Now, I have a different outlook on the death penalty, one just never knows for sure if a person is really innocent or guilty!!  To read about this “weird” but good news!!!  http://gawker.com/man-wrongfully-convicted-of-murder-exonerated-after-52-1774395288

Goodness 52 years is too long for someone to be jailed for crime that he did not commit, where were the law makers when all this was happening, i thought there are certain rules that are to be followed before one is jailed. i wonder how that case was handled because that is not right. anyway i hope the guy was compensated for all that time that he was in jail an the culprit jailed

I feel really sad and sorry for this man. 52 years of punishment is really long for something he has not committed. Let God punish those people who forced him to plead guilty despite the evidence that told him he was not the guilty.

The picture of the man really is really moving. And he has touched my heart that he wanted to cast vote one more time before he dies. It shows the love for his country and motherland. How can someone be so cruel of convicting an innocent man and that too for so long? Where are the laws and orders had gone which are supposed to punish the wrong person and save the innocent?
The one thing we can be happy is that at least he had come outside now clearing of all the false convictions and spend the rest of his life peacefully by forgetting these bad days. I hope he spends his life now the way he wants as it is never too late. Good article. Thanks for sharing 🙂
