That fat lady, who claimed he did it, is very frustrating.
I’d be interested to know the reason why the governor of Missouri commuted the sentence of Bill Lincoln rather than have him exonerated from any criminal wrongdoing.
If my understanding is correct, this ruling would mean he is still being held responsible for the crime.
If all the information in the documentary I’ve recently viewed is genuine, it would appear all the evidence points to a clear-cut case of wrongful conviction.
So why then has the Governor arrived at this mysterious decision?
I can think of two possible reasons:
1) Avoid paying compensation.
2) Preserve the reputation of the investigation authorities and the prosecuting team – a reputation that appears to be questionable at best.
In either case, this to me stinks of a disgraceful lack of concern towards an innocent person who’s had to languish in prison for 34 years for a crime committed by someone else.
This fat bitch just wanted some to be punished for what happen to her and her family , that’s fked up
I hope he lived long enough to sue the system. Eye "witnesses" have proven to be very unreliable.
Is it so hard to find an anchor person without an annoying accent? Im not being hateful but it is frustrating to keep trying to figure out what he is saying? It is annoying, frustrating and downright rude for the shows producers to put through their audiences is such aconfusion! He say people as paypal, days as daze! We lose precious info about the story cause we are stucked on a word that we need to figure out what it really is! Please find someone who can speak properly, im begging you!
I actually cried this poor man didn’t deserve losing 30+ years of his life
HOW DO U ACCIDENTLY MATCH A FUCKING HAIR
Damn 33 yrs
All these nasty comments about Melissa… SHE WAS SEVEN YEARS OLD! My god people…
He doesn’t have crazy eyes , not even in his mugs. He looks shocked. He has color and looks like a kind old man. I’ve watched plenty of crimes shows and have never felt like this- he didn’t do it. I’m glad he’s free.
Or just after the money, if that dude gets out ?
She is the purple people eater.She gnawed on him for 30 years and decided that she didn't like the taste of him.Then she decided to gnaw on a person of a different race.How nice of her.
This woman is a fucking fucking bitch.It was visceral she said.She seen him.Really come on woman.I think it took her all this time for guilt to eat at her and then she decided to tell the truth.Shame on you.
Christ, the US justice system is fucking barbaric. They already knew he was an ex boyfriend, so that would explain the hair strand more than well enough. There was also good indication that Tommy was the murderer. Yet they threw this man to rot in prison over one very unreliable testimony. And even once the courts released him, they did not overturn his label as guilty man because of some technical law, and he was not compensated a single dollar for his three and a half decades in federal prison.
how the fuck do you take the testimony of a 4 year old ankle snapper as gospel and ruin a man's life????
Somebody kill that fat bitch for destroying his life
this is horrifying. thirty three years? that’s twice my age. his entire life is practically gone. the american justice system is deeply flawed.
Two verifiable alibis & a misidentified hair, yet the man is thrown in the slammer for most of his life? This smacks of some kind of political pressure from above: "Someone has to pay for this crime, so convict SOMEBODY!" Justice in the West is probably the best in the world, but corruption such as occurred in this case should be rooted out with no mercy.
He didn’t do it!
