And that is what she did the following spring, when she agreed to plead guilty to capital murder in exchange for the death penalty being taken off the table.
Even that was a challenge; the judge initially rejected her guilty plea because she couldn't share enough details about what happened, saying: “I really didn’t know I had done it until like three days later, you know, when it came out in the paper and on the news.”
will the police officer be tired?
“Missouri woman’s murder conviction tossed after 43 years. Her lawyers say a police officer did it”
Keep in mind that for every one of these false prosecutions resulting in people being wrongly executed (not the case here, but...), there are likely 100 cases of Leftist judges putting murders back on the streets, just to have them kill more even more people, many as innocent as this woman appears to be.
Jail the prosecutor who did not provide exculpatory evidence. Jail the cop, too.
” prosecutors failed to disclose evidence that would have helped her.”
Sound familiar?
How could anyone..in this case a cop..live with themselves.
Obviously some kind of psycho.
Stories like this make me more sympathetic to the claim that some innocent black citizens were railroaded by the police/DA.
Black citizens lost faith in the justice system long before conservatives, who have now realized the corruption.
“Judge Horsman ruled that…she must be freed within 30 days unless prosecutors retry her.”
He sounds weak. Why the HELL hold her one day more? She should have been freed on the spot.
As fraudulent as Trump’s trials.
So what was the state sedating her with? Then why would they allow her to be tried while sedated?
The officer and prosecutor should both be charged, jailed, convicted, lose their pensions or whatever. There needs to be a way to bring justice in situations like this.
The people who allowed this injustice should be required to support this woman for the rest of her life. Extremely comfortably to make up for what they put her through. Either that, or they should go to jail for the same length of time.
She deserves to live the rest of her life in peace and quiet The government owes her at least 1,000,000 for each of those years she was falsely incarcerated. As to the officer who actually committed the crime and let an innocent replace him. He is now serving his sentence and it will last an eternity.
