Black inmate Carter, who maintained his innocence, was originally convicted solely on eyewitness testimony.
He was recently exonerated by the Supreme Court following DNA re-testing, and the false testimony was struck from the record.
This was a classic case of coerced false confession based on the narrative that the k**ler of a white woman must be Black.

1. 40 years... How are you going to pay back for the years lost?
2. Pay back all the 40 years he's been jailed
3. This is exactly why they don't carry out the d**th penalty... The mere thought of it actually being carried out is horrifying
4. 40 years??? Wow this is crazy..
5. If the DNA test using the bloodstains had been conducted as soon as it became possible, he would have spent at least 20 fewer years in prison
6. I looked into the details, and it turns out that person's son was adopted by someone else... What a mess
7. Ah give him the life he wasted back...
8. They ruined his life
9. So he was only in his 30s, 40 years is crazy... ㅠㅠ
10. "On that day, he was released on parole, despite the opposition of the victims' families." Wow
