Irishman Posted March 29, 2019 Posted March 29, 2019 Glad to see these two have been freed. It is sad that an investigation into the false accusations was not thorough enough. I wonder why it was not more thorough? https://www.cnn.com/2019/03/29/us/florida-wrongful-imprisonment-42-years-murder/index.html?utm_medium=social&utm_term=link&utm_content=2019-03-29T16%3A33%3A28&utm_source=fbCNN

I've got to admire the men's optimism in looking forward and their, seemingly, lack of bitterness. Unfortunately, the system failed these guys and there will likely be little accounting for it other than maybe a monetary settlement from the state ... but seriously, how do you compensate someone for four decades of their life? 1
