One guess as to why he and his constituents don't care.
Yep.
It's yet another example of the systemic racism in our legal justice system. Either or both of these innocent men probably wouldn't have been convicted in the first place had any number of things gone their way. For example:
1. If they had the money to hire good attorneys.
2. If they were actually assumed innocent, as the Constitution says they should have been, rather than assumed guilty because of their race.
3. If the district attorney had been more interested in the truth than in getting speedy convictions against the mean black men.
4. If all lives actually mattered to people in power who claim that's the case; these men were simply thrown in the trash by the system -- and the system is STILL dumping on them, even though they've been exonerated.
We here (including me) get outraged at all kinds of things, including some that really aren't that outrageous. But
this is truly outrageous. All Americans should be outraged by it. It's disgusting the way these men's lives were thrown away.
