What on earth is taking the system this long to get to the truth.DNA has been with us since the mid-80's ? My best wishes to this poor man. I sincerely hope that he receives a financial reward for which he's more than entitled to.

Also Sam Hallam who served 17 years behind bars. 

Two people wrongly convicted in this Country.  One has to ask is our system failing those who declare their innocence from the onset and why does it take all these years to finally admit they incarcerated innocent people through sheer negligence of those that collected evidence against them.

Two lives ruined and Victor Nealon served an extra 7 years because he refused to admit to his crime.

Shocking results of a failing system the CCRC.

Aww,it's a lot of lost years out of anyones life. An absolute disgrace . There's no excuse at all. What chance does anyone stand when you have a cop who's been hanging on to the truth for 27 years until he openly admitted it ? Sickening !!

lookout it is so depressing and so hard to understand how any human being can behave like this to another one
