17 years for stealing a purse but people get less than 10 for murder , the justice system is corrupt.

this man lost 17 years of his life for a crime he did not commit. no money can ever replace the times he could’ve spent with his loved ones.
-
What’s sad is at the end bro talked about his life changing and how he wanted to do it right this time, brotha you never did wrong it was the system that failed you

How do you even jail someone for that long, just because "he stole a purse"?

How do you get 17 years for stealing a purse????¿That judge needs to be in jail

This man is incredibly courageous to suffer in prison for a crime he didn't commit. I was assaulted 11 years ago.I was so traumatized I couldn't properly ID the two guys who did it, so I chose not to pick anyone from the photos I was shown by the police. There was no way I'd send an innocent person to prison .

Geez I’m 17 right now so it’s crazy to imagine that this guy was in jail for the amount of time I was alive 😐
-
no amount of money can give him his life back
-
To any of my look alikes: Stay out of trouble.

Jones should file a lawsuit on the State for losing those 17 years!

17 years! I was waiting on them to say who was murdered but soon realized that was it…purse snatching 😕
-
17 years for stealing a purse? But 8 years - 10 years for killing a person. This system needs to be double checked.
-
He only got 1.1 million for 17 years of his life! What a joke

God, please restore to Richard everything the enemy stole from him SEVEN FOLD.

Okay so he got 17 years in prison when people like Casey Anthony are set free.
