I watched a film called ‘Conviction’ which is based upon the Kenny Waters case. This true story happened roughly 30 years ago in the 1980's in Massachusetts.
Watch the trailer below which gives you an insight into the story line:
His sister is determined to prove her brothers innocence,
she does everything imaginable, and regardless of millions of set backs she contacts
the Innocence Project in order to help her. After years and years of
determination, she finally breaks through by re-examining the DNA evidence, and getting his ex-wife to confess to Perjury.
The words “you are free to go” where said so simply, no form
of compensation will ever get those 18 years he lost. The years of being a
father to his young daughter, who believes her dad to be murderer because of
her own mothers lies.
It is unbelievable how traumatic and heartbreaking miscarriages
of Justice are. I can't imagine how devastating it must be for you and your loved ones to have
to deal with the harsh consequences for something you didn’t do knowing all along
the real murderer is walking free. It seems so inhuman to sentence an innocent
man, no one deserves their life to be snatched away so brutally.
I recommend this film to anyone studying or interested in the
innocence project, it is an incredible eye opening story. Click the links below
