Jesse Barnes was just 17 when his 15-year-old girlfriend, Cynthia Vaughn, was found dead with multiple stab wounds in 1971. Jesse was interrogated and asked again and again if he killed Cynthia, to the point where he eventually confessed. There was nothing to corroborate his confession, and Jesse maintains his innocence despite the admission. After serving 40 years in prison, Jesse was released based only on a sentencing error. He shares his side of the story with “True Crime News.”

It’s crazy they didn’t look into the step father and then let him go on to SA others. Those that SA show history of repeat offending.
Poor guy, my heart goes out to him and I wish him the best. Very sad nobody paid for this horrible act.
Praying for you Mr. Jesse
MS. MABLE IS TOP
TIER
So many are wrongfully accused and they don’t live to see exoneration. Praying he is alive and well and living life to the best of his ability. I always felt his story was NOT his it was fabricated by officers. And when these situations are founded they tryna end throw a little money as if that makes it all better. TIME is something that we can’t PAY FOR nor GET BACK.
So the system pretty much focused on finding some guilty but not focusing on the truth… Sad
32 hour interrogation is psychological torture. There should be a limit on questioning time. Especially without a lawyer. A lawyer would put a stop to this if they were present.
Very rarely does the victim’s family say the man on trail is not the one who did it. For them to speak up and are still doing it to this day says a lot.

I do hope Jesse gets the justice he deserves.
I don't know why after all these years they couldn't still try to get DNA samples — ?





and USUALLY THE INNOCENCE PROJECT DOES USE DNA to prove these people AREN'T GUILTY .
The fact that HE IS STILL LABELED AS GUILTY means THOSE CORRUPT COPS AND HIS LOUSY LAWYER WON'T be able to be SUED
… and this is WHY they need to get this ADDRESSED and get the GUILTY verdict REMOVED
… and he would be able to SUE THEM and indeed he has the RIGHT to SUE them for EVERYTHING he can
* in fact they need to get the LAWS CHANGED so that BAD COPS who do this go to PRISON .
And that when they get SUED — it comes out of their own MONEY and ESTATE , rather than from the TAXPAYERS MONEY .
Does poor man STILL has NOT GOTTEN the JUSTICE he deserves and this makes me HEART SICK and also sick to my stomach .
Never admit to a crime you didn’t commit. If they are interrogating you and you want it to lend just say 4 little words “I want a lawyer”. Also if you are a minor don’t say a word unless you have a parent with you or at all.
Nah, this man needs to get paid… He's already lost too much smh
So unfair and messed up!
WOW forty years, i couldn't even imagine the hell and gloom and frustration and grief…
He took care of her child from behind bars?
This is what happens to black men .
Live yall life
Mable & Jessie Blessings 

I believe that Jesse is INNOCENT. That poor kid was railroaded by dirt bag cops. Prayerfully, Jesse will one day be completely exonerated. Smh
NEVER talk to the cops without an attorney by your side.
