When a man is falsely imprisoned, there is no retribution. Even if his name is cleared, Nothing in the world can recover what has been lost. The human life is finite and quality of life diminishes  with age. The State has stolen quality years. Nothing can replace that. The state has tarnished the person’s honor, integrity and character. Money can not fix what has been done. Nothing can fix what has been done. I challenge anyone to find me recompense for this wrong.

@808bboarder bro bro bro am just saying if i were to be thrown in jail for 3 days and get out of there with like 46k i wouldnt complain afterwards

@INeedTherapy Ok but we won’t tell you how long you go to jail for? You just get accused of doing wrong and taken to jail. That’s the psychological kicker.

@Ronen Salathe damn that's unfortunate. Thanks for the clarification

@Ronen Salathe damn that's unfortunate. Thanks for the clarification

@Ronen Salathe correct me if I'm wrong, but I believe he was imprisoned for a different crime awhile back. Which is one reason why he was so afraid of going back to jail for several more years

@INeedTherapy yeah but problem is is that its a gamble.

@INeedTherapy yeah but problem is is that its a gamble.

I was falsely charged and in jail for 7 days. I was told I did it and they knew I did it and that was that. I thought my life was over. I’m white by the way.

The Lord our God is a fair judge.  He will recompense all.  Wrath to the wicked and infinite reward to those who seek after God and believe in Jesus Christ as their personal savior.

We move on to eternity. Not the grave.
Death could never have overcome God.
But He took on flesh and overcame death for us through the Cross.
Seek Jesus.

@REgamesplayer " *It is better to risk saving a guilty person than to condemn an innocent one.* " – Voltaire

I love how suddenly everyone assumes that jails are full of innocent people. You probably got completely wrong message after watching Shawk Redemption.

Pro tip which will help you kids in life. Bad places house bad people. Don't go to prison looking for virtuous justice fighters.

And to top it off, there are barely if any consequences for those responsible, let alone false accusers. Wish someone would start vigilantism against these people.

A lot of people commenting about how willingly they'd take 3 days for $46,000, and of course, I would too. But it wasn't just three days in jail then a payday. That was 72 hours of wondering if three days was gonna turn into 20 years. Every hour, the dread increases, the thought you're gonna get fucked over intensifies, and the anxiety increases.

Like the video said, yeah, in hindsight, we'd all take that deal. But for someone that went through it without the guarantee of freedom, $46,000 may have very well not even been close to worth it. In fact, I think it's bullshit and I'd want that detective in jail for lying and trying to force a false confession as well.

The only way i think is if they literally give untaxed millions of dollars with your record wiped completely clean. So you can start a new and better life. Thats only if you did like no more than 2yrs in prison.

This is actually wrong, money can probably give him many days or live back unless they are very old. Example: Man gets 50,000 dollars because he was sent to prison for 2 years after being falsely accused. His yearly salary is only 10,000 dollars. Meaning if he gets 50,000 dollars he wont need to work for 5 years giving some of his life back. Though this does not apply to everyone as not everyone gets that much money, is young, has hard work, or wants to work.

@64ddking Talking about retribution, there was a very loud case going on in Poland over past few years about innocence of Tomasz Komenda. The guy was accused of rape and murder he didn't commit but mistakes done throughout the investigation and eventually in the court by the judge himself resulted in him serving 18 years in prison out of 25 he got sentenced with, after getting released  with help of a hardly gathered evidence from private detective's investigation. Finally, past year he recieved a compensation of over 3 million $ but there is no doubt it will never return all that time he lost while being jailed. However, that case was the loudest of its kind in polish history, resulted in the highest compensation in the country so far and because of that i encourage every person reading through this text to get more details in the articles. Peace for yall.

Well now you talk about the US.<br>My uncle out of Poland got 4 thousand dollars or 10 thousand PLN for 5 years being in prison the money that the state gives you for being inprisoned without guilt should be in Form of a rent so you get your money every month paid by the state. I could not imagine paying taxes after being wrongfully in prison for 2 years so the state paying me would make it better. For 2 years In prison an amount of 10k a month should be fine. Also maybe a limited immunity

People can say well its only 3.5 days and he got 46,000 so that makes up for it. Noooo it doesnt. Police have to be held to a higher standard than that. If you arent a seasoned degenerate-being caged up for any amount of time with people that are is a horrible punishment. And it strips you of your pride and honor. I mean goddamn. They said the suspect was a short white guy. Yet he spent 3.5 days in prison.

@Vuk The cop got DEMOTED not fired. Basically, they moved him one step back down the ladder. He also got a suspension without pay. He almost ruined a man's life with no fucking evidence other than a racist knee-jerk reaction. CAD 46.000 is pennies for a wrongful accusation this crass.

I could not agree more with this comment. if I was gonna be falsely imprisoned for a long time I would kill myself, no doubt. regardless of how long you're imprisoned for, a piece of you essentially dies when you're helpless and no one believes you; which ends up with you suffering for something you have no control over

@T i have been taken from. I have had things stolen from me and I have been accused. When I was just 13, I was accused of sexual harassment. My reputation has not recovered. I am still ostracized, and looked down upon. While that woman and the police and the principle all were simply let off for putting me through what they did. Everything was changed. My views, my relationships, even my sexual tendencies were impacted. I wasn't able to find friends for years. I wasn't able to get any positive female attention until I was nearly 17. Even my friend at the time distanced for a while. NOTHING will give me back the Innocence that was stolen. I would wish every hell upon them If it meant those hells would be realized. Money means nothing. Money will never replace what was taken. Time. And innocence. Both were lost for years.

@Brandon Boyce That’s your own opinion, personally I think financial compensation though it may not make up for it makes way more sense. Someone being punished doesn’t give me anything for all that has been stolen from me.

The only retribution fitting for taking a man's life from him is for ones own life to be taken. Not literally, bit in every other way possible. They will endure the same things the man did, and they will endure it for sevenfold the severity or time. That is the only true compensation for what was stolen. For what was pillaged and burned from those men. For the accusers own skull to be dragged deeper into the mud than the man they accused.

Then see if they still sing the same song.

@Nixton 8:55 He was exonerated. He spent two years in jail for another crime earlier in his 20s. He said he was trying to better his life and that he didn't want to go back to that life style.

@Nixton I guess I slacked off watching this because I missed the fact that the other guy was sentenced.

Such an evil cycle we're surrounded by. Doesn't matter if you're honest or innocent. Wrong place at the wrong time or simply a lying witness followed by lying cops can ruin your life. The worst thing is most of us still think the system cares about guilt or innocence. It doesn't change, because millions think everything is A-Ok as long as they don't happen to be chewed by this monster.

Didn't a guy who was false accused of rape get decades or something

What worse is that there are people that only proven innocent after more than half of their life or not even at all. There are probably many innocent death sentences.

Not to belittle the injustice against Michael, but he lost just 3 and a half days of his life. The compensation plus the demotions and suspensions verify he was innocent. There's probably hundreds of thousands out there who lost years, decades of their life and get no compensation whatsoever. Nor are the perpetrators punished.

Michael received justice after the injustice. I have no idea how his reputation or socio-economic status were affected. But at least he has definite proof he was not guilty and was almost chewed by the corrupt cops.

Taking someone's freedom for 2 years is inhuman. that guy is more innocent than the judges that sentenced him because they had the power over him and he had no power even on his own life. What you said it 100% true and it is even worse, losing your freedom for 2 whole years is not like he slept for 2 years and woke up 2 years older, he had to endure 2 whole years of abuse he didn't deserve.

Well, he wasn't innocent the first time so he got what he deserved... And he knows that jail is a scary place better than any innocent person that's why he was so dramatically afraid and not because the system is just a hungry monster...

@Mystery Williams lmfaoo the fact you think police violence is restricted only towards "blacks" is very telling
Yes, I am mocking what you said

@Mystery Williams lmao you comment makes it seem like its a common thing. It isn't, and if it is it should be easy to find unbiased reports.

I’m black… I had the same thing. A guy said I told him to get his d**k out and I said no so I knocked him out. I did KO him but that wasn’t why, it was self defence (long story). I reacted like the first guy because I knew I was innocent and because I’m black… acting like the second guy whilst black is a jail sentence, period. The white guy wasn’t acting like that because he knows his innocence doesn’t matter… he’s acting like that because he knows what it’s like to be guilty and because he’s an idiot. If I was in his exact position (which I basically was but worse cause I did actually fracture a guys face) I would have gotten away with it. His reaction is foolish and that’s why he got the 2 years whereas I was sent home the following morning without a blemish on my record. Released on “preemptive strike in defence of another”. If you’re black, watch your tone, show you’re not a stereo type and trust in your innocence. Work on being articulate and smart. That way you can spend 3 days or less in a jail rather than 2 years for something you didn’t do and if your black, probably more. Yes, race matters… but charm and articulation matters more

@Hugo lopez Whether or not something is racist isn't contingent on the assertion of any inferiority either way. The sole qualifier for anything to be racist is that it is a statement, action, or assumption based on race. Given that, almost everyone in the replies to this comment is a racist. Including the people up on their high horse who think they are more "woke" than others.

@Hugo lopez incorrect, a inferiority was asserted. It was asserted that if the 1st person acted like the 2nd, he would of been beaten and came to this conclusion merely on the race of both the accused and the police office. That is racist.

@Marfin What a stretch to refer to them as racist. It’s not a fixation, but rather an observation based on many experiences and ancecdotes shared by people of that race. At no point did the individual assert any inferiority of any race in their comments. I understand the need to try and look at other factors, but there could be issues in being dismissive of race not being a factor at all.

@Mr.ChoppSticks Gaming it happens every single day in people of colour and the fact that you don't know shows how privileged you are

@Alex Bradbury <br>The video said it was in Canada. Also, being killed is almost non existent in American procedure as well, so what is your point?

@Alex Bradbury
The video said it was in Canada. Also, being killed is almost non existent in American procedure as well, so what is your point?

I would like to mention this is clearly a British/English police station where while he may have been arrested for being black, against the description, in terms of being beaten is extremely low because guilty or not he would be eligible to sue, being killed is almost non existent due to British police procedure. And also Britain dosen't have/use the Miranda rights but do use something similar

@Trocoplaytv No, I mean the person fixated on how a person looks. Thats what racism is afterall

@Marfin you mean the person fixated on history right?

The thing people need to learn is that as soon as they read you your Miranda Rights is to ask for a lawyer. Soon as they read you your rights you know they interrogating you which means you're a suspect and they believe you did it and will try to get you to say you did.

Never talk to the cops after they read you your rights. It's a huge red flag.

@HowTo SaveALife hun no one said the video was about race. I'm sorry someone commenting on racial issues and injustices makes you that uncomfortable. Maybe you should unpack that.

@Mystery Williams I forgot was it the white guy that spent 2 years in jail or the other guy? By the way, the video wasn’t about race it was about guilty until proven innocent.

When the commercials come on I play count the white people.

@Mystery Williams No, talking about the person fixated on race.

@Marfin oh that's great. You were referring to yourself, right?

One is also Canadian and the other in the United states.

@Mr.ChoppSticks Gaming lmfaoo the fact that you think police violence towards blacks only happens in "movies" is very telling

@Debo Datta do you actually think that happens beyond the very few stories we are told through movies?

@Noahshad why wouldn't they be serious? The police had a description of a short white man and deliberately chose to arrest a tall black man. If he reacted in a violent way, they wouldn't take it nicely.

Exactly. One is a guy who thinks he'll work with the system and get sent home.

The other is a guy who worked with the system before and knows he won't get sent home.

no the difference is 1 is black and knows if he acted like 2 they'd have beat him half to death and leave him to rot in jail while moving slow af on the trial.


Poor Michael, was nearly in tears watching it as he looks like he doesn’t have a bad bone in his body. Really wish i could give him a hug. Bless him

In fact this happens often and the difference is some black men in the same situation don’t have the funds to fight and simply give in. Some give false confessions ironically thinking they’ll get to go home. Some lose their jobs because unlike this guy a detective doesn’t check into their story till weeks later before their court date and they sit in jail with no bail set or no bail money. $50,000 isn’t enough money to possibly lose my job and have that false arrest on record, believe me it never goes away.

@Paul Mallinson Institutional rasicm? Calm down now.

Respect, Ella. I felt the same. In fact: I know a guy just like Michael and he doesn't have a bad bone in his body either. It was institutional racism and terrible, lazy, stupid policing.


9:57 Oh HellllNaw!  I like this guys accent.  He sounds like he comes straight off the back alleys and mean streets of Appalachia?


This is more nerve-wracking than watching an actual guilty person getting interrogated.

That’s probably because you’re highly empathetic. Usually those are the types of people who get the most anxiety watching misfortune happen to others, even if you don’t know them or have never spoken to them.

This is actually more common in police stations than interrogation of actual guilty people.

AGREE. I can’t take the unfair grilling of innocent people.

concrete_junkie don’t think so: he had a bail-ordered curfew among other restrictions for NINE MONTHS after that... (source: https://www.thespec.com/news/hamilton-region/2011/05/26/police-have-learned-lessons-chief.html )

How can you say that when in the same video you see a white guy convicted and jailed when innocent. Stop dragging race into things

@kari c. I get what you're trying to say.. but I don't think the opposite of shy is confidence. I'd say insecure.. shy is just normal. So is insecure.<br>I guess it just boils down to personality which is a construct of hundreds of different little variants. Introverts can be confident (I believe myself to be one) and I think most the time they are... extroverts I think seem more confident to people at a surface level bcos they are putting out all this energy to hide their insecurities... again everyone is different but this seems to be the case most the time. Loud/cocky/confident is actually not confident and quiet/shy/introvert etc is usually confident.

I mean it depends on how you look at it.. he got paid 46 grand for a 3 day motel stay. I'm sure in hindsight he sees it as a Devine blessing.

Imagine being ready to send an innocent guy in jail, thinking it will help you to get a promotion!<br>This kind of people really makes me sick...

@A K Yeah you know what happens is you get charged for something someone else did, next thing you know you are doing some fucked up shit in the pen cause that's what you do to survive then you catch charges while your inside and after the initial charge is negated you stay in for doing that shit on the inside. And you don't get $50,000. You don't get shit if you catch a charge on the inside. Prison is dangerous and shitty and no good can ever come of it, not even a chance.

Chloe Carpenter I cant even imagine that, poor guy

I agree, although I feel even worse for that guy wrongfully imprisoned for 2 years

@Daniel McCoy there was zero evidence that he did anything. They wouldn't have been able to hold him for long anyway, whatever color he was. Especially if he got a lawyer. Not saying bad things couldn't happen, but most likely he would've been fine even if he was a different color or more extraverted

introverted is not the same as shy, we're pretty confident dude

@CHILIDOG HAMSALAD Most people would accept an offer like that, but this wasn't the situation he found himself in. He didn't know he was going to be released at all- for all he knew, he was spending years in captivity. There's a lot of stress that goes along with that. He didn't know he'd be free within the week, he didn't know he was going to get some money out of it. It's not a good situation to be in at all and the money is well deserved.

Hell I’d get locked up for 3 days for $50,000. But it could have gone way worse for him, that white guy got strung up for 2 years for that thing he didn’t do. For any amount of money I’d have to at least think about 2 years in the pen.

Several people have been convicted in similar situations.


That man is so patient in the face of being accused of a crime and being treated as though he were guilty... I admire that

David Smith that’s literally what he said in the video. So no it’s not misleading

Where's Jeff when you need him.   I ain't saying a God damn thing.  Now give me my coke and i'm outta here.

@David Smith true if your shy you arent gonn be that loud. You would be in the middle of the two men.

Great fortitude. Definitely an admirable character. I’m going to follow this interaction more

This video is a bit misleading. Not everyone who is innocent will act up loud and make all the body language described. It completely depends on the individual. And as aside sex offenders who are required to undergo polygraph interrogations have to deal with being seen as guilty for hours all based on BS test(polygraph). And they have to do it on a regular basis.

For real. I like to say I'm a patient person, but I think I would've blown up in that guys face. Like what do you mean "whether you did it or not is not a point of discussion"?? wtf? Just watching this made me angry


The girl who slandered the second guy should be imprisoned for lying and deliberately ruining person’s life

@Girl Happy I did; answered; " We don't even know, maybe since police can lie about evidence, they lied about it as well"
Yes slender should be punishable. But needs proof as well.
You claim you didn't care about my country yet; "Oh Armenians had it worst" a-ha. You claim a gender issue, where women gets away with slender most of the time and you claim it wasn't political? :D OK. Gender issue is usually feminist or LGBTQ political agenda but whatever. I guess you weren't political at all.

@Girl Happy "It can only happen in USA, what it became" was pretty much relevant to the comment I suppose*. Nah, you're being toxic by simply picking and choosing whom to attack although people already drifted from your fucking point. Also, anything is 'political' your statement is political by "this woman should be punished." since government of USA will do it. If you're thinking every time a government is mentioned it is political. A country, that who doesn't let men take the custody of their children most of the time. Where women are mostly privileged and claim that men are. So yeah, thanks. Most probably it won't happen and even your first post was already political. In fact, everything in some context political and economical discussion. You trying to find a reason to attack any one claiming "anything" and "everything" turning into "political" and "ruining it because it turned political" is just BS reason to attack me and that's it.

@kewl stuff you are the one who is toxic bringing politics into this thread under my comment 🤦♀ <br>And yes not only USA has problems but other countries have problems too. By changing the subject you just take away from importance of the main point, which is the guilty woman in the video who needs to be punished

@Girl Happy the guy said; "USA was awful when it came to freedom and I just compared Turkey to that. You might be right, I was just simply stating USA wasnt 'that' bad. Armenia could be worse than Turkey this also claims my point, USA isn't 'that' bad. "politics" will come no matter what. In this case, he brought the subject, but I don't mind. We were having a respectful conversation. You didn't had to be toxic.

@kewl stuff armenia is known for imprisoning opposition leaders. What are you talking about lmao. As if it is an exemplary country. Please shut up. Don’t bring politics into this thread

@•• imagine not understanding blatant sarcasm

@KosmoKrater Try to live in Turkey for a while, journalists getting arrested for doing journalism (one of the highest journalist imprisonment rates). And you get arrested for saying anything offensive to country's leaders. Same racist bigotry towards Armenians and Kurds exists too. Any government employee can't be imprisoned (including teachers at public schools). So... fun fun fun.

@kewl stuff Hey, its america. Prisons for profit + happy trigger cops + institutionalized racism = orwelian corporatocracy. Its the country that imprisoned Bradley Manning for revealing war crimes. Remember the war veteran arrested after giving an epic speech to a huge crowd? Nothing new here.

@flowey fangirl they edited the comment after i made my comment. i thought they were saying women deserve revenge so they were glad that the man was falsely accused which i clearly disagreed with

@ns2k Too many femenazis are under your comment lol

@ns2k people are flooding your replies because your comment was a painfully unfunny strawman. Just delete it if it bothers you that much lmao

@flowey fangirl yes, she should be imprisoned, but the original comment the person replied to was saying the same thing. Same with basically everyone under this comment thread. Nobody thinks she should get away with this. Y'all are making imaginary arguments in your head and then combating them.

@Amira J why should he shut up? he's right<br>the said feminists fight for equality: a man would be charged or in jail for falsely accusing people, but a woman doesn't just bc she's a woman??????

@Amira J why should he shut up? he's right
the said feminists fight for equality: a man would be charged or in jail for falsely accusing people, but a woman doesn't just bc she's a woman??????

@Morberticus Probably was unable to post bail for one reason or another and had to wait out his trial in jail if I had to guess.

@I fard In your pants everyone knows it’s supposed to be a joke it’s just everyone who isn’t still in middle school grew out of their “grr feminazi!” phase once they started talking to actual women in real life

@alena This is what I didn't understand. They say she was caught in court. They also say he was wrongfully imprisoned for 2 years.

@Rob L the terrible childish jokes are the best

@I fard In your pants we know it's a joke, it's just a terrible childish one

She probably was as it was stated in the video, she was "Caught lying multiple times on the stand". Which is a federal crime in the US and a very serious one in most other countries.

@John Smith I wasn't sure if police was telling the truth by telling the guy that he was reported for doing it. Since police can lie about evidence in USA. But can police lie about why someone's getting arrested in USA?

@John Smith he was going to spend over 20 years in jail basically ruin his youth all because she deliberately lied she deserves to be in jail for lying

@kewl stuff he’s not saying she should be in jail over slander. She DID slander him by way of a false report, which is a crime.

@kewl stuff a false report is a criminal case

@ns2k I’m a woman and I’m furious over injustice

@alena Well we don't even know if the guy who were accused asked for a civil case for anything at all.
Or even not sure if the guy who is accused was right in his assumption.
And I wouldn't go after searching that far.

@kewl stuff did he say she was caught lying in the trial?

Case might be that boyfriend beaten girlfriend up and girlfriend first went to police to fuck up her boyfriend but boyfriend might have threatened her. So she might have changed the story to save her skin.

Regardless, "slender" is a civil case. And if he can prove her slandering his reputation he can compensate a lot of money from the woman. Of course woman needs to have the money or she will "owe" the money. Which may end up him still getting nothing if woman is broke.

As an attorney, this kind of scenario is shockingly common,  as I can attest.  It's one of the most disturbing parts of the US justice system .  Thank you for bringing attention to it🙏

jguthrie  In The Barbara Graham Case she refused immunity. The chief prosecution witness John True took it .Prosecutors charged her ( and two others, one of which was Emmett Perkins ). She denied she was there. She said at the trial she was at home. She had no alibi when she was charged. Instead of considering facts and credibility, the next step the prosecutors took was after jail authorities told prosecutors she may have an alibi but not yet, as they had seen her attorney's letter to her in which he said to her, which she read, she was likely go to the gas chamber unless he could locate her alibi witnesses.The prosecutors' next step was to put an undercover policewoman into the cells who got a fellow prisoner to agree to approach Barbara Graham and say she, the fellow prisoner,  had an alibi-seller outside, and then the prosecutors put an undercover policeman in to act as the alibi-seller and tell Barbara Graham he would give her an alibi but not unless she told him she was there with the others charged, in order to get the three accused in each others' presence and get all three for the murder. Otherwise it would have been - should have been a separate trial for her, the undercover " alibi-seller " then, as per instructions, therefore - to get the other two through her ( and through one other, a Baxter Shorter who had disappeared, kidnapped, presumed dead, and could be linked through an eyewitness, Shorter's wife, who saw Emmett Perkins kidnap Baxter Shorter who had identified True, Perkins, another named Santo and Barbara Graham except that he thought the woman he alleged was there they called Mary, and as she could not be at the conspiracy with them on March 8th 1953 where True said she was called Mary True was saying Mary was where Shorter heard her called that name, and as she could not be there as True in a statement prosecutors had, but which statement they did not produce at the trial, True said he met Barbara Graham for the first time on March 9th  1953 - this meant she did not have knowledge of the crime and therefore Shorter was lying when he said he met her to go over to Mable Monahan's house on March 9th and they called her Mary - for him the first time - [ and she was not told on March 9th - there was no evidence of that ] - the prosecution's case was that she was told on March 8th - therefore Shorter must have seen Barbara Graham somewhere else innocently other than at the crime and told her name was Mary and the evidence - the real evidence therefore proved Perkins, Shorter, True and Santo were framing her for the crime, the murder.True alleged Shorter was there on the 8th and Shorter did not mention it but stated he met True on the 8th somewhere else, to plan robbing Mable Monahan, alleging " they " - True, Perkins and Santo - said she was out. The prosecution assumed in their evidence the inference that therefore " they " included Barbara Graham [ so assuming her guilt ] by conclusion without a fact in evidence before evidence of identification by corroboration of True by Shorter so leading to the possibility he [ and True ] could have seen her somewhere else and were framing her - the prosecution should've been alert to that ) but Shorter said he did not meet Mary until March 9th so this contradiction should have led to the awareness she was framed - by Shorter as being there on March 9th as Shorter knew Mable Monahan - he had a motive to frame her as did the others for Shorter's knowing Mable Monahan would lead police to him to them and he knew Cohen from whom the money had been stolen wass put in Mable Monahan's house [ they thought ] by Scherer, Mable Monahan's ex-son-in-law, and this could be traced; so Shorter went into police and alleged Mary led them in - Shorter was a break-and-enterer and that way would avoid First Degree Murder - the gas chamber - the self-alibiing for Shorter - Perkins, Santo who made up the story Barbara Graham go into the house first, according to True ). Thus Sirianni, the undercover officer instructed to trap Barbara Graham as the counterfeit alibi-seller in the prison lied he was afraid he would be caught out if Shorter returned unless she confessed she was there so she said " I was there " - to get the alibi, knowing she knew she would go to the gas chamber if she didn't have it- and prosecutors knowing she knew and prosecutors knowing they had to get in first before her attorney found her witness and gave her her alibi. Then the prosecution had the fellow prisoner testify Barbara Graham approached her to ask her if she knew an alibi-seller and the fellow prisoner walked free after giving testimony and denying in court she had a deal.( Why?  - prosecutors sure they know she is guilty - they just know - amazing assumption ). One of her independent witness gave a statement saying she was at home but didn't show up at the trial. No-one bothered to subpoena him it seems. The conspirator who took immunity, John True, testified she was at the conspiracy on March 8th. The prosecutors failed to produce his statement in which he said he met her first on March 9th because it showed she had no knowledge. The chief Prosecutor alleged she confessed to pistolwhipping Mable Monahan until dead before she died. The Autopsy Surgeon testified Mable Monahan was strangled - the cause of death. True testified at the trial Barbara put a pillowcase over Mrs Monahan's head at the end of the house in a hall.  At The Grand Jury he testified she put the pillowcase over Mable's head at inside the front door of the house. He testified the pillowcase was only put on once. The statement withheld revealed JohnTrue said Emmett Perkins put the pillowcase over Mable Monahan's head not Barbara Graham. Two weeks before he was executed Perkins made a confession on a point - the pistolwhipping True had alleged Barbara Graham did. Perkins made the confession he was there ( he had denied so at the trial ). In answer to a request to clear Barbara Graham Perkins told Pullitzer Prize-winning journalist Edward S. Montgomery, " Montgomery, that ol' lady was never pistolwhipped. She was beat with her own cane. " (Prosecutors did not act on this information and if it was used in an Appeal it must have been as a ground for a new trial. Why? - if it was used as it seems it must have been for the separate trial ). Prosecutors " knew " Barbara Graham was guilty. The procedure  -  " the end ( of alibi-framing ) - justifies the means" proves they convinced themselves she was guilty - not by the facts but by " a  guess " so sure it proves they held this guilt before innocence view. The Chief Prosecutor authorized and collaborated on a book in 1960 in which it was admitted the alibi approach on Barbara Graham was " underhand. " In the book was revealed one of the conspirators said they all went over in one car - True said two cars went over, putting Barbara Graham in two cars and one car at the same time with True. The end justifies the means. " Good people are so sure they're right"  - Barbara Graham's last words. She was executed in 1955. John True walked free. The main Source is Kathleen A. Cairns' Proof of Guilt:  Barbara Graham and The Politics of Executing Women in America University of Nebraska Press I Lincoln and London and my own book about Barbara Graham's innocence but her book is about the way proof is obtained and presented in the American Justice system and is my main source to her innocence as my book The Innocence of Barbara Graham is concerned with Barbara Graham's innocence.The way proof, however, is presented is not confined to there. I was a lawyer in another jurisdiction and rote procedure of framing is prevalent there as it still is ( as you so aptly say in your comment which I presume to rely to ) with the ex-D.A. of San Francisco failing to provide a statement clearing an accused in a death penalty case and had to be ordered by a Judge to do so and is now running for ( really ) president.

@Ate Laihosola Sounds like you're living in 'The Invention of Lying' movie

I'm glad I live in civilized country where police is not allowed to lie in interrigation.

not only a US problem, its a human problem. if u think the US  is bad, just wait til you experience other countries...
these issues are as old as time, and the solutions have already been thought out wisely, centuries ago - hence the UK/US adversarial court / trial system etc with rules of evidence etc.
but any system ultimately is only as good as the sincerity, tenacity, courage and virtue of the individual humans implementing it.

how many "you match the description"-cases did you personally come across? i think this one is extra terrifying considering the fact the witness described a white guy and they arrested a black guy lol


My favorite proof of Micheal Dixon’s innocence: his one phone call is to call into work to let them know you won’t be at work in the morning. Not to a lawyer. Not to someone who can bail him out. To his employer about his shift. When has anyone guilty ever done that? Lol

@Delos sorry I didn’t get back sooner, but that’s total bullshit. You can talk to the police about arranging a lawyer if you don’t have one right at the station. You also are provided internet access to search for lawyers. There are plenty of ways you can get yourself a lawyer. An innocent person should be even more inclined to get a lawyer, because getting bail to get back to their everyday life is of such importance. But just so you know, you obviously ask for a public defender right as you are arrested if you do not have your own lawyer. They will call you back and have someone come over to talk to you. What sort of idea is going through your head that you can’t talk to your public defendant until count starts? Obviously you can get them within a couple days of being arrested.

@Gerhard Smith Huh? You're the one who painted it as something no one would ever do. And now you're re-interpreting it as a "problem" when I just asked why you think that? It isn't a problem. I was asking why you concluded no one would call their work if they're not going to be able to go to work through no fault of their own?

@Yeassiree And my point was that many people are stupid.

@Yeassiree And my point was that many people are stupid.

@John Doee Yeah, I know schools aren't teaching reading comprehension anymore, but why don't you try understanding the context of what you're commenting on? You'll live longer.

@Thelema Even if not guilty, you would ask for a lawyer if you were being convicted without thought. You'd be stupid not to.

@Delos
I didn't missed it, it's just a really stupid insight, but funny how you try to paint it as if it was a problem of everyone else who doesn't agree with you instead of just thinking that it is a really dumb point.

Also, wow, 3000 people on youtube agree with your point? Congratulations, almost like if you could go to any comment section on youtube and see stupid comments get over 1k likes, great point there. I just saw I guy on a Gorillaz song put a wrong translation and reading (factually incorrect btw) into the song and get more likes than the person correcting him on the responses, go figure how relevant are your likes.

@Gerhard Smith 3000 people understood the insight you missed, which also happened in the actual case. Case in point on why you don't generalize your own opinion to everyone else.

Though now I'm curious, do you not usually call your job if you're not going to be at work or what is your logic there?

@AngryTwxGaming What country do you live in? Because in the USA you're factually incorrect. You can't call a public defender right after arrest because you won't have one yet... You have to apply for one and prove you can't afford a lawyer.

Notice how I'm not calling you ignorant, just pointing out where you're wrong. Feel free to do the same or else I'm going to assume you have nothing.

@Dustin Jones ???? What a warped reality you must be living in.

Quite a lot actually. That dude seemed really guilty because of his introverted nature.

@Delos you do get a public defender in this situation. You've proven across multiple comments you're ignorant to how alot of this works.

@Delos
It is a really stupid point because in neither case (guilty or not) I'm going to call my job first, it is dumb as hell.
Your entire point is that no guilty person is going to call boss first, but outside this man, no innocent man would either.

@Pepe Beezon Clearly aside from the forces of the state, only criminals would need to protect themselves against bullets.

@Dustin Jones well, in the absolutely cucked state of Canada certain provinces made it illegal to own ballistic body armor

Ok, ppl don´t understand the point in english, so here it is in german:<br>Meine Fresse, es geht einfach nur darum, dass es für Schuldige höchst ungewöhnlich wäre, bei ihrer Arbeit anzurufen, dass sie morgen leider nicht kommen können. Es ist bereits ein Zeichen dafür, dass er unschuldig und sehr glaubwürdig ist.

The notion that you only get one phone call is a pop culture myth. You're entitled to contact someone to make them aware of your whereabouts immediately, and generally you're entitled to up to three phone calls "within a reasonable time" after you're booked. Although your lawyer should be contacting people on your behalf if that's required and a good lawyer would certainly do so.

@Nikiko the point is going right over your head

@Nikiko the point is going right over your head

so never call a lawyer, sure this will work out just fine

@Nikiko You're still missing the point that someone who's innocent is more likely to assume there is no real evidence against them, as it happened even in this exceptional case of misconduct.

Additionally you do not get a public defendant in that situation and if you've noticed, lawyer fees cost an arm and a leg. One of the many ways the justice system is biased towards the wealthy, bail being another. I know some people can't imagine how others can be less wealthy than themselves, but not everyone has thousands of dollars of discretionary savings they can or want to put into a legal case based on a false accusation. So yes they will take the public defender (which is assigned once they go to court, NOT with their initial phone call).

There's a similar reason why innocent people often are advised and do take plea deals. They aren't "trolling" themselves; the system is trolling them. It isn't right but it is completely rational.

@Delos that seems very silly. First of all, you will always have a free lawyer provided to you, second of all, if you are innocent you still want a lawyer because they will help you sort things out in case you are falsely accused. Not asking for a lawyer is the sign of someone who either is way too confident, trolling, or has no idea how the Criminal justice system works.

@Delos I’m depressed that had to be explained but I read so many comments that made me think I’d suffered a stroke.

Biggest mistake people make is thinking that because they're innocent the cops will help them n it'll be figured out. FUCKIN WRONG

I think I understand what you’re getting at. You’re saying that Michael is a decent human being that even at this high pressure situation, he thought about making sure his work knows he is not going to be in that day.

Yea, what was the cop thinking after that...did he suppose micheal was thinking "well I just robbed a jewelry store, good thing I did it fast enough to get to bed before my nine to five tomorrow morning.

@Nikiko I agree about the lawyer and that's beside the point. The point is understanding differences in external reactions based purely on someone's internal knowledge.

So assume someone is guilty. Are they going to:
1. Ask to call their work as the first and only call they make.
2. NOT even ask to call a lawyer?

No. That was the point. IF they made a call it would (and should) be to their lawyer. It's only someone who's innocent who might not consider calling a lawyer (and calling work instead). Even though I agree, they should have in hindsight.

But I wouldn't call a lawyer in that situation either, unless I was guilty. Because lawyers cost money. I would at least initially assume there was some huge and obvious mistake somewhere that should not require a lawyer.

@Delos that’s not a reasonable deduction. Any normal person regardless of guilty or not guilty should call a lawyer, that’s just how it goes.

For people who don't get it, someone who is arrested and actually guilty is not going to have a high priority about calling their work. Given that they are guilty and have been caught, they would not be likely to keep that job anyway. The point is not whether or not they get a lawyer but the relative priority of calling into work first.

@Thelema I think you missed the point completely tbh. He's saying that letting your boss know you're not going to be in Tomorrow instead of getting a lawyer is pretty much unheard of. Like let's be fkn real here, THEY WOULD BE THE LAST PEOPLE YOU CONTACT. Family. Friends. Lover. Lawyer. Fkn last person I'd call is my boss with my one call. Use ya 🧠

No. Asking for a lawyer does not denote, nor infer guilt.<br>Neither does silence.

Neither does silence.

He's got to see a judge to see how much his bail is first before he can even get bailed out.<br>I laughed at end when he thanked the police officer.

Getting a lawyer isnt acting any more guilty of a crime, than putting on a bullet proof vest before going into a firefight.

@Thelema yep they think getting/asking for a lawyer makes them look guilty. tho if youre really innocent you could also be lawyering up to free yourself or even sue so it doesnt make much sense. seems a lot of acting guilty is overcompensating and <b>trying</b> to act innocent but its usually too much

Doesn't really prove anything, a lot of actual criminals don't even consider the thought that they should get a lawyer asap.


That poor ginger guy... I felt his pain. He was so scared because he already knew what prison was like and just didn't want to go back especially wrongfully.

@Chickenblade Most likely a nickname, could be short for Candice.

@Jayden Warnke lol not in prison or jail. Alot of dudes in jail are in for domestic violence, I’d say about 60%. And alot of men in prison killed women. It’s sexual crimes against women and kids that get them hurt though.

@Chickenblade Pretty sure it’s a street name. But you never know.

@Isaac Dahlvang woman beaters are on the short list of people who get their asses kicked

He was probably also freaking out because he had been thru it before and knew just by how the cop is talking that he is going to jail!

@J K But he isn't going to get the 2 years of his life back. And those 2 years probably damaged his mental health even more than his previous sentence, because this time he was innocent and was labeled as someone who assaulted a woman (one of the worst labels to have in prison)... :(

I mean, he is going to make MILLIONS from wrongfully imprisoned.

Redheads are often wrongly pulled in because there's so little of them the one redhead you see is clearly the same redhead...it's insane

that guys sounds exactly like my brother

sucks so bad especially because past prison time makes him look worse

Felt so bad for him he said he worked his ass off since he got out and did nothing but work and go home

It also seems like he really hates people assaulting women. He looked pretty surprised and offended that they accused him of that. He didnt want to go back to jail with a label like that.

He also had been trying incredibly hard to avoid doing anything to land him there... and then it was all apperantly pointless in that moment.


Hindsight is 20/20 unless it needs contacts then its 20/30


I was hoping you’d cover something like this

I suffer from severe anxiety and laugh as a defense mechanism when I am really uncomfortable which makes me look guilty to people like my mom.

I always get terrified at the thought that if I was ever falsely accused I’d be screwed.
This helps a lot.

@Arturo Pastor he said it in the video genius

If he was black then he was very shiny. 🤔

@Dave Bunnell actually, Dave Chappelle stole that joke from me. I invented jokes about racial profiling and he pays me 150k in royalties each set he does. Also if you’ve ever made any jokes about race disparity/profiling please provide me with your email so I can send you an invoice. Otherwise you will hear from my lawyer soon, Mr Bunnell.

Everyone thinks they are Dave Chappelle in these comments. It's an old joke. Fail.

Lynn JustLynn Officers we’re receiving training in general for the same things they are now. So whoever was training them then will continue to do so now. They were supposedly already receiving training for cultural diversity etc for the past 20 years or so. So what happened lol?! If some of the top salaries are shaved off a little, then if they are still crying about money for even MORE diversity training, then that shaved money goes to that training. I’m in c. justice, and know several officers so I’m not talking out of my ass. Plus every state is different. I’m in la so now way in hell is any officer getting a weeks worth of training, with a bit of it using “pepper spray”. That would never fly...and shouldn’t for any officer in a major city. Cultural diversity training again, means 0 if the person doesn’t see you as equal or human.

@DrmHer If you're de-funding them, who is going to train them? My brother is qualified to be a cop and the only training he got was like 2 days where they pepper sprayed him and various other random things that wouldn't prepare you for stressful situations. You want to fund them even less to get even worse training than that? Yea...

@TVBoxMimic ya not rlly. He also has obvious black features as well as his skin.

JKL I never said that was right? I’m pointing out that they literally picked up a dude that was the exact opposite of the suspect description. The woman in the other case lied and accused the white dude and the police were just going off of what they had (witness reports) whereas the other case they ignored suspect description and just picked up a random dude to try and get a confession out of him. You’re the one projecting bias here assuming my opinions lol.

@JKL Im guessing the white guy is from America based on his accent. The US justice system is very corrupt and I absolutely do care and talk about stories like his bc this shouldn't have happened at all. Black ppl just face this more often (ex. Central Park Five)

Lol they convicted a white guy and sent him to jail for 2 YEARS in the same video.
But you say nothing about that.
Maybe you came in with bias about police officers and race and projected them onto the video.

@TVBoxMimic his facial features would definitely give him away as being black. and when they get booked don't they have to identify themselves? his ID should show his race

@Eg Az They've used big $$$$ in the past yrs for training supposedly, and still fck up left and right. I get people have different views on how/what to de-fund. In my own opinion, depending on various factors, they can start by lowering the pay some of those that are making near, or over 6 figures. That $ saved could then be used for more training for officers that are actually in the streets, or detectives that are clearly the main focus of all the civil unrest the past few months. <br>Not to mention, but even with all the training in the world, there will always be dirty officers at every level. Sure there are many great officers, but wayyyy too many bad apples nation/worldwide. So training means 0 if they care less about it...

@DrmHer you can't de-fund and better train the police. Those are two contradictory statements.

If you were familiar with police calls, a lot of the time the initial description is from a single panicking witness and is often incorrect. If you're looking for someone who has commit a robbery, odds are they're going to be black. That's just the reality of the situation.

😂😂 I'm a Black Male, so I know similar stories.

@Pink Guy there are TWO men. The bald man at beginning and end is black. The 2nd man in the middle section is white.

Well okay then guys, who am I to argue with you all? I stand corrected. Sorry for my mistake!

Not quite sure how the officer could think he was short, but he is just light enough to be confused as a tanned white guy.

@Bruno Lopes i'm pretty sure he said it in the video.

@Bruno Lopes You can literary see him and his skin color....

Lol, ikr. This type of shit is why some de-funding/better training of officers is needed.

Why copying and pasting from a same comment that was made 50 min ago ... get your own ideas man

One of those cops you see chewing gum with their thumbs in their belt loops


A young woman went missing local to where we live. My dad thought that he saw her walking across the bridge whilst he was out walking the dog. He called the police to report it and they tried to treat him like a suspect. The woman was found absolutely fine shortly later, and my dad has vowed never to assist the police again.

Your dad is absolutely right to not trust the police. When I tell my kids to never talk to the police I tell them that includes being a witness. Let someone else be the hero and talk.

@Bøï 89 They still have to react properly, because otherwise criminals can simply call on their own crime and get away with it. Your dad did the right thing and should keep doing it.

I called cops once, because of a neighbors insane domestic dispute. Cops showed up at my house and tried to shoot my dog. I'll never understand or trust cops over it

I don't blame him. You try to help possibly save someone's life and all of a sudden they look at you as the bad guy.


Poor Michael and Justin, oh my god. I feel so bad for them both, I can’t believe Justin had to deal with jail for doing nothing wrong!

Do not worry. God has a way of dealing perfect justice. The accusers are going to really be making themselves suffer. It may not seem like it now but it’s gonna come back to bite them when they die. But whatever good deed you did for someone is also gonna come back to you. God’s judgment is scary if you were a bad person. but it could be a rewarding thing if you are a good person.


He’s so thoughtful and conscientious that he wants to call work to let them know he won’t be in. What an absolute tragedy I feel so terrible for him

John<br>No amount of special paper can make up for the amount of physical and emotional stress he was undoubtedly under for those 3 days.

John
No amount of special paper can make up for the amount of physical and emotional stress he was undoubtedly under for those 3 days.

@Subs1338 while there is "lots of shit going on in the world," I can't help but feel, that what you describe is more a testimony of how fucked up the USA are (being a western nation and all...). Incarceration of minors isn't normal in Europe and solitary confinement is seen as torture by the UN.. (not to mention that the USA still has capital punishment and strips people who paid their debt to society of their voring rights)

The real tradegy is that this happens to tons of people and they get imprisoned for years.

Watch the netflix documentary about Kalief Browder, a 16 year old who was falsely incarcerated or 3 years, he spent 2 of those years in solitary confinement. The abuse he experienced in prison made him develop serious mental issues which ended in him hanging himself in his parents house two years after his release. Its fucking insane the shit that goes on in this world.

@John Money may ease, but it doesn't absolve emotional and psychological trauma. Until you are sitting in that chair, innocent of an accusation, you'll never know those feelings. I've been there...

Dont feel too bad. He got 40k for 3 days of jail time lol

IKR?! So sad. I would not be able to remain calm.


"A witness had a video camera and you are seen on it"<br>"Well that's fucking weird because I didn't do it"

"A witness had a video camera and you are seen on it"
"Well that's fucking weird because I didn't do it"

Cops brought be in to question me about houses being broken into which I never have done and while they were questioning me they pulled out fingerprints saying they are mine and match my prints on records. But yet I've never been in any of these houses in my life that they accused me of breaking into lol.

@Kyle Marshall I dono man. Far a I can figure the town cops smoked my evidence then guesstimated I had more than 2x to charge me with 2 grams of weed. Ignored my request for 'restorative justice(community service) until the day after the crown stayed my charges. RCMP have been exponentially more professional in my east coast experience. Oinkers even acknowledged that the law was off the books at the time (back when the gov didn't fix the court mandated medical tomfoolery -fix it in x years or the law is gone, and they didn't)

@Kyle Marshall always? how many times you been in cuffs there buddy?

@Sanchu too many times... won every one fortunately. But everytime you have to prove your innocence. However in Canada we have RCMP. Its like a bunch of gang members and they rough people up that are just going about their day and like to try and find "weak" targets to accuse of crimes. These are usually poorer people who cannot afford an private attorney. The legal aid here works for the court and they are in bed with the prosecutor. Some cities are fortunate enough to have police forces that you can call if they start harassing you. Its like a 3rd party to oversee the situation. Very few towns and cities have that though.
If you dont believe me just lookup how the RCMP vs. VPD on Halloween night last year. Two news channels showed VPD talking with people and making sure people stay calm and orderly. They were successful. In the RCMPs block, the footage showed many people in handcuffs, fists being thrown, people starting to riot. etc.
VPD goal - "to make sure people stayed civilized and did not damage property"
RCMP goal - "we are handing out covid fines"

Edit:
Obviosuly these were not crimes like murder. However it still is hard to be wrongfully accused

@Kyle Marshall "always"? how many times have you been falsely accused??

I always say "lets watch it together" <b>handcuffs come off</b>

I always say "lets watch it together" *handcuffs come off*


They should've been fired, not demoted. These "detectives" should never be allowed to work in law enforcement, or for that matter, as a security guard at a empty cemetery ever again.

In the US the cops would have gotten a promotion and a raise in pay.

Any cop/sheriff/detective who puts merit and achievements ahead of proper procedure should be fired on the spot.

I said basically the same thing b4 c n your comment

@Titan Flare I see what you’re saying but remember in the beginning, they stated the call was in for a SMALL WHITE MALE. He knew what he was looking for. He just ignored facts looking for advancement.

One of my girlfriend's step dad is a cop and he choked her when he was drunk.

I made her go to the hospital against her mother's wishes and I guess it was two of his buddies that took the statement because they had multiple pens infont of their name tags and wouldn't give us a copy of the report, saying we would recieve it in the mail in a few days. After two weeks I took her to the police station to get a copy of it and they said there was no report at all.

They then proceeded to send her to internal affairs where she spoke with a gentlemen there.

The "step-dad cop" only lost what was suppose to be a promotion and nothing came of the cops that didn't write the report to protect him. Since then I have always made sure any cop I talk to that I get their name. Every time.

@Lace they're extremely incompetent, but I don't necessarily think he acted in bad faith. He's just unbelievable bad at his job and tried to mimick good detectives who actually know what they're doing and failed miserably

I'd slap the stupid outta that detective and then fire him.


I’m glad Michael was exonerated and awarded over $500 compensation for each hour he was wrongly imprisoned.<br>The investigators deserved demotion as this could have been sorted out in time for him to go to work.

I’m glad Michael was exonerated and awarded over $500 compensation for each hour he was wrongly imprisoned.
The investigators deserved demotion as this could have been sorted out in time for him to go to work.

@P P I'm sorry. You should have gotten way more.

I got 650 thousand for 8 years .... and innocent ... thank God for DNA .

There are 8765 hours in a year. Multiply that by 2 u get 17,530. Nowwwwww multiply thats by 500 and u get $8,765,000

Fudge Fudge it’s 17,520 hours. He was paid $8,760,000

@gottimw yup thats what i was told for my case. If i took it to court. It would be under 20 dollars a day, i wouldnt get paid for possibly several years, and go through paying for lawyer service and everything. They just told me to let it go and go to therapy. Then the therapist said im lucky and should be grateful because many people dont get out for years or dont get out at all. When i asked my lawyer for compensation from the gvt they chuckled then straight face "welll if youre serious... Itll cost you money and you wont get compensated if you are approved, for years" and i literally said fuck it fuck my life. Bye. And never saw him again

500 an hour? I was wrongfully accused and served 31 days in jail and my lawyer said it would be, after tax, under 20 dollars A DAY. And that it would be years until i got the check it doesnt go in your bank account right away. That was just the case for me... Florida court system is fucked though

A singer on Americans Got Talent told the story of how he was wrongfully jailed for 36 years for someone else’s crime, and finally released on DNA evidence. 36 years. That’s over half of most people’s life. No amount of money makes up for that. But I do hope they at least get a few million $$$.

I read article that in some US states there is no compensation whatsoever and this was article about life sentences overturned by DNA tests. +20 years in prison and state says sorry I guess we were wrong LOL

500 for each hour? That's dope. Kinda makes me wanna get wrongfully imprisoned.. <br>Then again.. I wonder if Justin got the same money.. 2 years ... how many hours is that? xD

500 for each hour? That's dope. Kinda makes me wanna get wrongfully imprisoned..

There are innocent people sitting on death row right now.


this investigator better have lost his damn JOB. this is SO scary that he's accusing someone like this with absolutely zero evidence.

@rePAULsion Knowing that you  could get 20 years? Your  life isn't worth much it seems.

@Kurowscar Thats what happens when the canadians employ american cops.

That police was like: Well we lost the suspect but we cant come back empty handed soooo... eenie meenie miney mo

@B.O.J.
I'm not convinced he was 'in no danger of being convicted' wrongful convictions do happen, including the other guy shown in this video.
Other than that, obviously it turned out well in the end, but it shouldn't happen at all.

@CamM dude clearly had mental fortitude and was in no danger of being convicted, what happened to him was unfair but I am sure he came out winning in this situation.

I dunno. Put me in a cell for 3 days for 46k and I’ll lock the door myself

it's worse than zero evidence. he's accusing someone when there is literally evidence that proves he didn't do it

@rePAULsion <br>Yeah, if I knew I would get out after a couple days and nothing would happen, so would I. But that isn't the case with this. There is a very real possibility of a conviction, even if you're innocent. Wrongful convictions do happen. When you're in that situation, you don't know if you're going to get out after a couple days and get money in compensation, or if you're going to spend possibly years in prison.

Investigator should be in prison. I hope he watches this and reads the comments.

@DeadlyJaguar89 You mean he only got 46000 dollars for a whole of 3 1/2 days in jail, right?<br>46k is by far not enough for three days of live lost. There is basically no amount of money enough for that.

@Kurowscar I love how bad/corrupt systems are always automatically assumed to be American. Like yeah, cops EVERYWHERE ELSE are perfect smh 🤦🏾♀

@Kurowscar There is still cases of racial profiling and unequal treatment even if they are not as pronounced as they are in the States.

@rainbowbutterflyfan This takes place in Canada, but okay.

Sadly that’s the job of American cops/investigators. It’s to get buddy buddy with the suspects and get a “confession” out of them, regardless of innocence or none. If you don’t put someone in jail, you’re failing. It’s a problem with the system

its stupid he didnt lose his job but a demotion is better than nothing i guess and hegot 46000 dollars for only 3 1/2 days in jail


It's funny how much you can do. The human mind is too simple.


46 000$ ?????? I want to get falsely acused now that'd be great


really appreciate that you narrate the aftermath, horrible how that man was treated.


"If you didn't do it why are you being so defensive?" Because I don't like being falsely accused of shit I didn't do

reminds me of when my mom accused me of taking her weed and I cried bc I knew I'd never convince her it wasn't me, and then cried MORE because crying made me seem even more guilty. 😭😡 fml (I didn't take her mf weed she was probably high and used more than she thought)

@BruceNJeffAreMyFlies
I just looked it up and it seems psychology of false confessions is a relatively new topic in criminal psychology, law enforcement and prosecution. Even though a quarter of people exonerated in the last two decades have confessed to the crime.
But at the same time, in 2019 we had the first one who was exonerated not on new evidence, but based on psychological analysis of the confession.
Forgive me for not sitting on the bleeding edge of criminal psychology.
Now consider this.
I thought I have a decent understanding of psychology. But I was still wrong.
Policemen should be trained in new discoveries relating to interrogations. But not all are. So it's not inconceivable that many policemen simply don't consider the option that you can get a false confession.
And when you don't consider this as an option you might as well keep up the psychological pressure, because when you can't see any reason why an innocent person would confess, it's easy to assume it doesn't happen.
Policemen don't exactly keep tabs on people they've thrown in jail, they don't really care if you were convicted, don't expect they'll check whether or not you were exonerated 30 years later.

@Fif0l and that's without mentioning the crippling debt a defense can put you in..  People are often presented with the choice of a small mark on their record, or a few months in jail, and being in severe debt for the rest of their lives... <br>'so if I plead guilty I'll get a slap on the wrist, but if I plead innocent they will come for me with everything they can?' yeah I know which option sounds better for the guy without a good attorney...

Men have been pressured into confessing, or tricked Into signing a confession, and then exonerated with DNA evidence. <br>Police have, and will again, pressure and trick innocent people into confessing crimes they did not commit.

THIS!! THIS!! people don’t seem to understand that being defensive does NOT equal being guilty. It’s like when your parent accuses you of lying when you get defensive. Accusations can trigger panic and fear. Poor Justin was upset and angry and scared. It’s disgusting that some people have this mindset

Why am I defending myself against an unjust attack? Hmm, I dunno, good point!

“You sound really angry right now.”

YOU’RE GODDAMN RIGHT I’M ANGRY.  YOU’D BE ANGRY TOO IF THIS BULLSHIT HAPPENED TO YOU!

All they want is money.That's why they are falsely accusing them and putting them in jail.Not every innocent person will display the same behaviour.

There is fear of self incrimination and unfortunately in the United States with a lop sided legal system (let's be honest we all know it tends to favor wealthy and the well connected) , some people given the choice would rather plead guilty to avoid a worse alternative - harsher penalty, can't afford the legal defense etc.

@Aaron Vannatta yeah, I do that sometimes.

@Aaron Vannatta yeah, I do that sometimes.

@Fif0l I mean I thought we were arguing about something lol, I agree with everything you just said

@Aaron Vannatta yeah, but the second best thing to a confession investigators can get from you is some significant lies and contradictions. If they get neither and don't have significant evidence and still press charges, they can actually harm their careers.
Thing is, guilty people tangle themselves in a web of lies to prove their innocence. They have to think really hard all the time about how the answer to the next question will harm their fake alibi. An innocent person doesn't need to think nearly as hard, because telling the truth is easy. I mean, you do need to be a bit of a heartless bastard to be an investigator, because the easiest way to charge someone in the absence of evidence is to exhaust the person mentally over hours or days of leading question and treating the person like a liar and just rolling with it, not thinking about "what if he actually is innocent and I'm treating him like a piece of shit".

Don't get me wrong, investigators in this video were very unfair, especially investigator of the bald guy, who apparently forgot to check the visual description from 911 call, or he would have known immediately they are after the wrong guy. Not to mention the fact that he kind of forgot about the guy after not obtaining anything resembling evidence and it took an entirely different investigator to check up on the case after a few days.

@Fif0l they don't need just an admittance of guilt. even when you admit and/or plead guilty, you still receive due process and the final decision belongs to the judge. All that matters (to some investigators) is that they put you under pressure and get you to say SOMETHING that could be used against you in court that they can receive credit for.

I nearly got arested for a drunk street brall outside a pub that I had nothing to do with I was just drunk walking home from the pub and they tried to pick me up for it, when I refused and defended myself they took it as me being aggressive therefore one of the combatants. But their radio went an they picked the bloke up on the other street luckily before they put me in a copcar. So a narrow miss for me. Wrong place wrong time.

@Aaron Vannatta an innocent person won't admit. Period. So policemen assume they can just keep up the pressure, because when a guilty person breaks down, they confess, an innocent person might break down, but they won't confess.

@Aaron Vannatta If the authorities are accusing you of doing it, how are you supposed to have faith in them in deciding that you didn't do it lol

That's me when my parents always accuse me of eating the Pepperoni Hot-Pockets...

Yes, like my dad always thinks me being defensive is an admission of guilt (the whole "lady doth protest too much") thing ... but honestly, I'm gonna be way more annoyed if u accuse me of something I didn't do & get angry at me for it - that makes perfect logical sense

@traskforge exactly, if you act casual or nonchalant, they will say you are cold blooded with no emotion or remorse.

litterally dude haha. That sounds like some shit a sibling would use against another when they're arguing

Then if you stay calm and confident because you know you're innocent, they say you're "too calm".

Then if you stay calm and confident because you know you're innocent, they say you're "too calm".

''The truth hurts''. The truth does hurt, but not everything that is upsetting or aggravating is true. Ever had someone walk up to you, claim you did this or that etc etc, watch you get upset and then retort with ''the truth hurts, huh?''. That shit eating grin is a punchable face if i ever saw one.

I hate it when people saying “why are you getting mad if you didn’t do it?” In an argument.

@dr I don't think they do most of the time. They're just trying to get them to admit to it, whether they did it or not. Obviously investigators benefit from closing cases and convicting alleged suspects

Exactly and why would would you falsely accuse in the first place if you definitively know its FALSE ?

In order for someone to react as if they have nothing to defend, they must have reasonable faith in their authorities.
