DNA Clears Five Men Wrongly Convicted Of Murder of Teen Girl 20 Years

Wow! It seems like every week there’s a new case of exonerated black male individuals being set free for not committing crimes they spent years locked up in prison for . Again, we are always thrilled to hear these cases and saddened that some of them spent years of their young lives in prison because prosecutors just want to get a case to court. Let us continue to pray for our men and young men who have been bamboozled in our justice system of America. What is this telling us folks?

Exonerated: Henry James Freed from La. Prison After 30 Years on Rape Conviction

Again- we are always happy to hear these kind of cases. Another innocent man freed after 30 years of his life taken away. God is good.

A free man named Henry James has been cleared of raping a woman in 1981 but last month DNA tests freed him from a Louisiana prison Friday. The Innocence Project New Orleans asked Judge Sullivan to throw out the case and order James’ immediate release which James served the longest sentence to be cleared through DNA tests.

Wrongfully Convicted Dewey Bozella Lives His Dream and Wins Pro Boxing Match

We are so happy for Dewey. He’s overcome more than most people could have dreamed after falsely incarcerated for over 26 years.

Read excerpt from ABC News on his life:

After spending 26 years in prison for a murder he did not commit, he finally got the chance to step into the ring – and he made the most of it.

In 1983, he was charged in the killing of a 92-year-old Poughkeepsie woman. He said he was far away from the crime scene, and no physical evidence ever linked him to the crime.

Exonerated Inmate Obie Anthony Found Innocent and Release From Prison After 17 Years

Yet another innocent man innocent of a crime he was convicted of 17 years ago. May God Bless him and his family.

Anthony was convicted of killing a man outside a South Los Angeles bar in a 1995 trial. He was sentenced to life in prison without the possibility of parole. But last Friday, Anthony’s conviction was overturned by Los Angeles Superior Court Judge Kelvin D. Filer, after determining the state’s star witness, a pimp, lied to the jury.

Exonerated Death Row Inmates Found Innocent After Executed [Part 3]

Exonerated Death Row Inmates Found Innocent After Executed [Part 3]

Giving thanks to Atlanta Post for the info!

Lena Baker

Baker is the only woman to have been executed in the state of Georgia during the 20th Century. She was pardoned 60 years after her execution in 2005 by the state, who called the failure of the all white male jury to grant her clemency “a grievous error.” Baker was executed for shooting her employer in self-defense, who had evidently imprisoned her and was threatening her with death at the time of his killing. She shot him with the gun he had been attacking her with in a desperate act to save her life — hardly a murder. [Source]

Exonerated Death Row Inmates Found Innocent After Executed [Part 2]

Thanks to Atlanta Post for providing this information.

Thomas Griffin and Meeks Griffin

Radio host Tom Joyner won pardons for these distant ancestors who were executed for a murder they didn’t commit. Thomas Griffin and Meeks Griffin were landowners who were accused of murdering an elderly Confederate veteran in 1913 based solely on the testimony of one man who was a known criminal. Joyner cleared their names in 2009.

Exonerated Death Row Inmates Found Innocent After Executed [Part 1]

Thanks to the Atlanta Post for this information on those men, including one woman who were truly innocent of an accused crime but is now dead due to the death penalty law.

Larry Griffin Exonerated After Execution

Griffin was executed by lethal injection in 1995 for the 1980 murder of Quenton Moss, a drug dealer in St. Louis. Griffin was convicted and received the death sentence based mainly on the testimony of a career criminal, Robert Fitzgerald, who later admitted to committing the crime himself. Fitzgerald also stated that the police pressured him into accusing Griffin. Griffin, like Troy Davis, maintained his innocence until the end.
