True-crime doc ‘A Murder in the Park’ explores coerced confession

Anthony Porter may be the luckiest man on earth. He was convicted of a grisly murder, and his clock on death row was ticking. Porter was just 48 hours away from being executed. Then somebody else confessed. But there’s a catch. “A Murder in the Park” is Showtime’s 2014 sensational tale of a single-minded pursuit of justice that goes barreling off the rails. From 2016: https://bit.ly/3merSSh

    It boggles the mind to think how many innocent people have been put to death in prison. You can always let someone out of jail, but you can't bring them back from the dead. No one has managed that trick.

    Let me tell you a story about Medill School of Journalism at Northwestern which I had some respect during my years at Columbia College here in Chicago. They felt they were more "educated" shall we say during our shared time at a political event that I will never forget. We shared the same press box and I introduced myself and this girl from Northwestern looked down on me and kept putting me down. Now, I may not have gone to Medill but honestly, I didn't want to burst her bubble by telling her that I was respected in the journalism community. Meaning, as the campaign began she had to eat her words as everyone was coming up to me and hugging me and couldn't wait to be interviewed by me plus had an internship lined up at one of the best networks! At the end, I said bye as she had no interviews. I would have given her a few as I would have loved to work together with her but she put me down so much…I cannot believe she didn't look at me as a colleague let alone as a human. Oh and highly respected networks stay away from schools that mold students as they are not open minded! Just an FYI. Be humble. Don't walk in with showing off a degree from a school you paid money to get a degree from as you have corrupted your open-mind to be closed off with so much education. Writing is a gift you're born with.
