can i still ask or. just a couple of pretty curious because if you move to you before the war you more you will with almost 2 days of. difficulty in doing it will go to a. solution but really only someone who knows the moon. the star of the most insults from wales. at the time a local television reporter from detroit is following the case closely bill proctor is well aware of the methods used by local police to close certain cases as quickly as possible. they did this all the time. they had people make statements whether in writing or they

did the writing they had some buddies and with the suggestion that hears this and you can go home i've heard that doesn't. sound dozens. and it wouldn't surprise me at all the 3 real number doesn't run into the hundreds or thousands because the same cadre of bad detectives that probably were 2 dozen of them were in place for over 35 years. the mark on her. medication. with no evidence or witness statements against him on the 7th of march $997.00 lamar monson is sentenced to 50 years of criminal imprisonment for the murder of kristina brown. only one element was used against him the confession that he signed. martin in the. this is going to be. my fears and i would not want to be in

prison on my right. something that i would wish him off worst enemy just being processed for you to go into or sail on the whole process of a stone comfortable. you feel like your freedom is being siphoned away from. by you one thing about them are. i think that the last time he saw his daughters they were looking occurred to me. but everything he told me to do for her. in the matters and in his. everything he said do for her she never had a word for anything because the father was not around. and she was upset and angry

her mother too was because the maher was in here to help her train his daughter. and they could but he had the best interests in the world for his. he just wasn't here to do it so i did it. unlike us in the world for nothing but missing of. 20 years later the single event changes the course of lamar monson's life just around the time that bill proctor the journalist who followed his case is getting ready to retire he receives a call from an unexpected witness who claims to know the real identity of christina brown's murder. 2 months before i retired after 33 years in

terms of that she called me on the phone it was one of the more shocking calls i'd ever taken. as an investigator do you get many but this woman said to me on the phone. and me even if you don't remember that murder that you covered back then on boston you got it wrong. you got it wrong and i said ok i'm listening. and she explained that she was with the person who did the murder of the person in prison was not the killer that he wasn't there but she was with the man who did the killing and came back from the event dripping in blood and confessed to her that he had killed the. adult life for 20 years 20 plus years and carried. and the made it and. i'm outta here me i'm tellin

om i'm not on holiday and that. at the time of the events shalane a bentley resides in the building where the crime takes place she shares her life with a certain mr robert louis both of them were regular crack users on the day of the crime shalane a claims to have seen lewis return from kristina brown subpart mint covered in blood and thing. and then they let in a t.v. of my door open and the local m.p. throwing them out the way and blood it on. the. boots on. the my blood and. blood and his nails he just killed.

me. you know wrong as it is. whatever else he was charged with i feel like 18 year he. they have too much. i'm the one that told them that the girl was not fair she was beat. they had and he . no he didn't he be. sure lena bentleys witness statement changes everything a team of lawyers and students from the university of michigan decide to reopen lamar monson's case they are part of a national network of dozens of american universities who fight against judicial errors over the course of a year they retraced the police investigation step by step trying to prove lamar

monson's innocence the big problem right away with this confession was that it didn't match the crime scene so at the time they interrogated lamar and then extracted this false confession got him asinus false confession the police believe that christina brown had been stabbed to death they believe that because near her body in the bathroom sink there was a bloody knife and she had been stabbed so they extracted a confession or i wrote out a confession for lamar and wish he says he stabs her to death the problem was is that she wasn't stepped but the police did know that time so a few days later when the autopsy report comes out it reveals that she had superficial stab wounds but actually she'd been bludgeoned to death with a heavy object. it does not take the lawyers long to find the heavy object that allegedly killed the victim on the photos in the case file they notice that the toilet tank lid is not in the right place the likely murder instrument was the

ceramic toilet tank with a heavy ceramic toy thankfully that had blood all over it that was found in the bedroom not too far from christina brown's print. after this the lawyers are convinced that lamar monson did not kill christina brown as such he could not have written the confession himself the team from the university of michigan then asked the judge in charge of the case for access to the objects that were present at the scene of the crime 20 years earlier. and in september 2 10162 students and i went to the to the prosecutor's office where they was brought there and it was unwrapped and it was still covered in blood and amazingly though it was it covered in blood but they were bloody fingerprints all over it and nobody had ever bothered to test and so they didn't you know saying hey look there's a bloody fingerprint right there and so i whipped out my i phone and i took photos

of some of the bloody fingerprints on my i phone. and then brought them back and blew them up and we could see that they weren't we had comparison samples that are and they look a lot like robert louis his fingerprints. this can state police have new technology and they found none. and all of them belonged to robert louis and none of them belonged to lamar months and i was ecstatic because i know the power of forensic testimony improves vs what someone might say because one is irrefutable the other can always be cut down by a nasty prosecutor. he couldn't do anything with this you should have seen the prosecutor's struggle to answer the forensics that came from no less than the

mistaken state police crime lab. it was powerful stuff and it was a day for celebration. in the northern. plains or. we need to find. the real thanks to this new evidence the more monson is granted a new trial in january 2017 after a one day hearing the court decides to exonerate lamar monson. surreal for me because these things i've been praying and asking and seeing things develop and before my last witness come for 5 to 12 years evidence. just by i'm feel event take a hit in my spirit you know when i'm feeling good. i don't know the truth but now everybody knows the truth and so that was

a blessing you know people have stood by me. feel good for them because now people know that they still. me and they were right to do so. lamar months and is out on bond and heads right over to his family and supporters at the wayne county jail. and i have prayed and i pray. and i ask. please let me live see them or come. and when february 1st. 2017 and i was there and he was released. on holiday in credit. and i cried my son is free at last. i just knew call to ask for something being we've been waiting something we've been

up just prayed for the longest on the fall he came and. i can only get the glory to go up the field your mom always says she was in waiting to get that hope your mom right now it's all about that emotion. i go words to express is one of been a mark on all my life just a little more life and i'm just glad she finally got some happy to be happy about. oh it's a wonderful feeling. i've had now. 22 of these cases all together 17 since we started the clinic and i had 5 before and it's never gets old it's so wonderful when the person actually comes out of the door and they're met by their family and friends and. the students who work on the case who work on the case.

there's a. petersburg international economic forum is a unique event in today's business world. over the last 21 years the forum has become a leading global platform for discussing the key to economic issues facing russia emerging markets and the world thousands of business community members attend a forum to address today's and vital issues. especially foreign coverage on antti. join me every thursday on the alex salmond show and i'll be speaking to guest of the world of politics sports business i'm showbusiness i'll see you than. most people think to stand out in this business you need to be the 1st one on top

of the story or the person with the loudest voice of the biggest raid in truth to stand out of the music business you just need to ask the right questions and demand the right answer. questions. was. monson's name is cleared for good. robert

louis the man whose fingerprints were found at the scene house to this day still not been indicted. you have his ex-girlfriend saying he did it and then all the people in the world whose fingerprints could be on that toilet in blood it's him that's pretty good evidence i mean that's that's a case where i think the the dumbest prosecutor in the world could win a conviction pretty easily. but. they made it clear they're not going to charge him because charging him would be admitting that they got it wrong with them armand's. christina brows been dead now for 22 years but she still deserves justice and her family still deserves justice and they won't get it because the prosecution is

stubborn. feel free want to know well and they know that he's guilty so what does that tell you about the. system don't care about me about my. i'm a taxpayer i've lived in this city in this world over 50 years. they don't care. all they want to do is get away and keep. that tragic scene families together at separate or it doesn't matter how. the country is in trouble. we live with certain notions of justice. of what the law says and what we all believe in our hearts. that the person really

responsible for something as innocent as the murder of which will be remembered should answer for that crime. yet over and over and over again i have been party to evaluating cases where there are innocence claims and the person responsible is known and named in the very police department the made the mistake does nothing to go back and capture and charge the person who was really responsible because it's difficult because it takes extra work because it takes new witnesses because it takes a harder examination of what really happened and that examination would show that the initial group of police investigators that only failed but walked away from certain facts they didn't finish.

can you put a price on 20 years spent behind bars for a crime he did not commit. this man received a figure and the subsequent compensation of. $20000000.00. one rivera has just received 20000000 dollars 20000000 dollars for 20 years of imprisonment for a crime he did not commit one rivera was also forced to sign a confession. in 1997 he confessed to the rape and murder of an 11 year old girl. turn is this i. decided to you know settle it with as i was asked by the news

media you know is the 20000000 that is enough and i'll tell you if i tell them you know what you could keep it 2020 years back i miss my city's. a miss my nieces and nephews. mother was at the time my father was lost my grandparents you know there's a lot of things that i miss and family. that i can never get back no matter how much money i you know they can offer me a 100000000 dollars when they come from yes it has given me comfort but there's nothing in my years give me that years that i've lost the memories that often lost i mean to this day if you ask my parents for any of my childhood photos she would say she has them because the court has them number 3 trials and it's i'm going to try nordstrom is the one new photos you want to show you humans. i don't have no records of my upbringing because they took. my life to january 6th 2012

that's when my life that's when i have a record of who i am. surrounded by family members and cameras want ribeiro walked out of state bill correctional center a free man all i want to do is enjoy my time with my family my it's been 20 years so. brace i mean this is a new beginning for me so this may be one of those would not appeal last month. would turn the conviction that any of the birds you were. so. $20000000.00 is not enough it never will be an offer nor any amount because the game is the memories that mean. not the money. one rivera is barely 19 years old when his life turns into a nightmare on the 17th of august 1902 the chicago police force accuses him of the

rape and murder of holly staker an 11 year old babysitter who was stabbed $27.00 times the case makes headlines across the country. in the space of a few hours the chicago police turns one into a publicly hated monster. i had never sensed as because then yes i was an innocent person going to prison this is a natural a sense as for something that is new so that was this added bonus to my him going into prison 1st of all i'm going to an environment that is a nexus unknown and very very scary. second i'm going into for murder. her great. name for 11 years so as if they got 3 strikes against him in prison they don't like me. but if they do i've asked them twice when i was in prison. to intemperance on me of course i had

to fight them off thank god that i defied them off. in prison records this is what i had so we do it when i was interesting. rivera was not far from being sent to the electric chair these years of violence in prison these years spent on the margins of society have forever destroyed his trust in others and in the system. for me to hear at that time they were willing to kill him 19 year old kid and understand what the hell was going on shows you the character of mankind you know i'm. to this day i still have difficulties in trusting him because he was willing to kill me then almost anything that you are not willing to kill me now when i get death threats. are going to live my life by smiling and watching my back because people still want to hurt me just

as in that i know that because they doing to me ask me while i'm walking in the streets and i get in the branches the general approach is that you know what i have a chance to kill you i would because you don't deserve to be alive i have free when i think you killed that there is so this is what i want to live with but still yet i got to smile. in 2015 the results of d.n.a. analyses allowed want to be exonerated for good ali staker is a real killer still roams free and no police officer seems to be searching for him out of the 20 $1000000.00 that won rivera received $2000000.00 were paid in by reed following a legal agreement in spite of this compensation not a single police officer has been personally sanctioned. all the officers. that worked in my case as well it's attorneys all retired with pension pension

there was no repercussions no richard dishing no criminal charges nothing i see extended into a job they need to hire and major tenants to his is very mike wallace retired and they gave him a plaque for good job. there's a culture of. unaccountability and police officers know that they can engage in misconduct that has nothing to do with solving their crime and everything to do with. pointing the finger at perhaps the easiest person to point the finger at and there will be no consequence and so it happens over and over and over in their states. oh yeah it goes a victim. having clothes they did they still own big and i mean i might get credit when i have clarity but what about her family do they even care no they're not even

searching for the person they get these that already because they thought and they still feel that i'm guilty. in this theory our criminal justice system is designed to correctly identify perpetrators and bring them to justice where fails and where fails because of misconduct. the reaction of the criminal justice system is really the opposite of what it should be the criminal justice system tries to cover up the failure. and retain its legitimacy instead of admitting its mistakes and finding the real perpetrators the law gives police officers what is called qualified immunity for their actions which means it's very difficult to sue their after the fact for their roles in obtaining false confessions and prosecutors have what's called

absolute immunity. so unless they become part of the police investigative process they are not going to be held responsible for their role in wrongful convictions. no one should be above the law. and police officers themselves should not be above the law. reed has not responded to any of our interview requests however the firm has informed us that their training procedures now take the risk of false confessions into account. for its part the supreme court of the united states still allows police officers to lie during the interrogation stage. i mean we're asking a couple of these guys depositions why they thought telling a lie was going to get the truth and they didn't have an answer for me they just

said well that's what we do that's the way interrogations go we're allowed to lie to them and i would again ask them why do you think lying to someone is going to get a truthful answer in response in they just couldn't answer it and for the life of me i don't understand why someone would think that lying to someone is going to get a truth response back so it's a horrible practice that that goes on all the time and in the u.s. it's just it doesn't really serve it doesn't serve justice at all. what state does the. judicial system find itself in today with corrupt cops and untouchable magistrates the american justice system is continuously producing more inequalities and more impunity in a country that is more divided than ever. shish
