and once again, analyzing political statements linked to social media. 3 days before the downing of m, a 17 ukrainian military and 26 transport aircraft was shot down at 6500 meters. which is one more reason why dutch m p 's. find it strange reading that ukraine didn't know that there was a danger to civilian aircraft or gas senior correspondent, wrapping up the bulletin for now. here are moscow's kevin in the team setting often a good day. ah, when our show the wrong, when all just don't the rules. yes to see out. the thing becomes the after an engagement equal the trail. when so
6:31 am
many find themselves will depart. we choose to look for common ground in the the me a grandmother doing life for murder was released from prison yesterday. after 17 years, when a judge said she did not doing. susan, no one recently filed a lawsuit against the detective who arrested her for hiding evidence. that detective is the same one who arrested reggie cole with
6:32 am
which we, you know, as a society we see the bad guy in the good guy. well that cops and robbers, but when the car becomes the robber, the game is over. the game is over f corruption. it was her rhetoric twist of fate . lead to raj, it's really gross was more fortunate. his father's death led to an unexpected turn . providence was his big thing and he had a great life insurance and it was 184000 my dad left me and i was able to pull that up to about 236 stock market. and then it was just 100 percent of my time dedicated to my case, a lot enabled boost to hire a private investigator. we had essentially a growing worchester of evidence that hadn't committed the crime. or at least that
6:33 am
all the evidence that was presented was, was false evidence. i had received a complaint from merciless girl. i flew up to the state prison where bruce lisco was, i spoke to him when somebody is accused of murder or you're arrested for murder. it's tape recording, everything is tape recording. i couldn't find his tape. ready it had been taken out of evidence by detective mon too, and it was never put back in evidence active minds with the footprints outside the house matched the footprints on the inside. lieutenant gavin found the footprints weren't actually looked at best scientist or any qualified expert. so we took matters into his own hands, so i contacted our people and we're scientific investigative division. so he takes out this big magnifying glass, looks at it looks at the other one, he goes, these 2 don't match. you see, this is a great embarrassment for any large organization that you've convicted somebody for murder, and then 51020 years later. if it turns out that the person's actually innocent,
6:34 am
and this is what my lieutenant said, that is not getting out of prison. do you understand me, sergeant cabin, they will do everything they can to stop. you prevent you from coming forward with the information you have. upon reviewing the comprehensive work of the private investigator, p. d, internal affairs department claimed versus complaints were unfounded and that no misconduct had occurred. you can have an internal investigation where we all investigate ourselves. that the, like a general my mom against the stories or anything like that. i'm just a guest system that has no checks and balances you food is shaking your i believe in internal affairs should be separate from the police department. there is no way that a police department can investigate themselves. currently, there are no independent organizations whose job is to investigate police misconduct, and there are no oversight of prosecutors either. bryce with the tauriel misconduct does a major factor of wrongful convictions. just
6:35 am
a single thread that runs through almost all of the wrongful condition cases. jeff desk of eric as a masters and criminal justice, specializing in wrongful convictions. he's also a survivor prosecutorial misconduct. i spent 16 years in prison that was roughly 17 emerged at 32. jeff eventually won a lawsuit against putnam county new york for his section, which enabled him to start his own foundation. and i'm the founder and executive director of the geography, dustin foundation for justice. there's no deterrence, there's no oversight. there's no punishment for prosecutors, so they can break the law. they don't face criminal penalties even when they engage and withholding evidence of innocence threatening witnesses, coercing witnesses, no matter how serious the misconduct is. if the prosecutor commits that after an arrest has been made, they have what's called prosecutorial immunity. they're above the law. you prosecutors to really uphold what's become just words. which is, you know,
6:36 am
they're there to do justice. they're there to do the right thing. it becomes more like where they are to win, especially when prosecutor's office actually keeps statistics on conviction rates. well, you should be credited that you looked at a case where the police thought they had a good case, but a good prosecutor looked and said, you know what their mistakes made here. we should drop the charges in this case. we should incentivize that. but instead, we actually incentivize the opposite of getting convictions and getting conviction rates. all of a sudden justice gets lost in that process and whether this guy commit the crime or not gets lost in that process because it's all about winning my case. immunity that i mean in the real world, you know, you're supposed to be held accountable for your wrong don't. and so therefore, if you are a person of authority of authority, do you have to be held at a higher standard than just elaine me, i think we actually to step back and kind of rethink the whole system in the way
6:37 am
we're approaching it. because it's become this game and people's lives are lost as a result of the me, you ever do find yourself wrongfully convicted? odds are you never get. now. the 1st thing you need to do in preservation letters to the police department labs and the courts questing that you want all your evidence said. otherwise, they may destroy within 30 days. try to find an innocence project that will take your case. prepare for this process to take years in pray for miracle. ah, the innocence project estimates conservative way there could easily be 40000 to over 800000 americans. currently wrongfully convicted. a majority of which are people of color. or the
6:38 am
private investigator never gave up. on his case a very vigorous private investigator who made a complaint to the de atlanta on the desk of a internal affairs investigator who looked at bruce's claims in a very serious minded fashion. the the people like detective mon 2 and the others out there that have made our job very difficult to do day after day. because we lose the confidence of the public and we lose the competence of the court. we have to have police chiefs, directors of public service that are willing to do the right thing and terminate employees who are doing the wrong thing. you want to say you're the good guy, but you're ostracized by everybody that you believe. then it's a very difficult situation. because i have to continue to work for the same department that did this to bruce list or i don't look at myself as
6:39 am
a hero. i look at myself as a sort of as a survivor, because the system attacked me. system went after me and the system did everything i could to keep bruce liquor in jail and everything to keep me quiet. it's been a lot of therapy. my wife and i met in 3rd grade. we were elementary, junior high school sweethearts. we lived on the same street and it's been, it's been a very difficult, difficult road. she is, 3rd generation l a p d. and their survival is day by day. and always looking over your shoulder, whether you're doing the right thing or not, you're constantly looking over your shoulder. and every time i get called into the captain's office, i wonder what did i do now? and i've never had that feeling before. i just kept on telling myself they are not going to defeat me. they're not going to defeat me. it's just when you come across something like this, what are you going to do? and that's the difficult thing. if i had not given up the information that i did to
6:40 am
the l a times bruce listener would still be in prison. a bloody footprint that was attributed to bruce in his trial had recently been re analyzed and shown to not been made from bruce issue. so they got his interest in the case and we started talking to is a private investigator and began the 7 month investigation. and the conclusion about they filed an article called a case of doubt that eventually won them in award. when the time's award, i went up sitting between 2005 when the 1st article came out and 2009 in prison for solid ears. a widely recognized innocent man. we knew back in 2003, 2004 that we had probably a person that was in prison for a crime. he did not commit. and it took 5 years for the courts to work through the, the entire system. there were a lot of delays because of the conduct of my own police departments and the conduct
6:41 am
of the california attorney general. reggie cole spent 16 years in prison for a crime he didn't come at 10 of those years were spent in solitary confinement. and he had to kill another man to get a trial. it's a miracle reggie got out and all i, tim is a miracle story as well. in late 2000. after 26 years, he made pearl. i signed some papers for the pro officer. he said, okay, see you later didn't asked me how i was getting home. didn't ask me if i had a home. when i realized these people honestly don't give me to survive. judy, you know, it's a lot harder than it sounds. you may have develop post traumatic stress disorder
6:42 am
agoraphobia, param, lawyer, and require immediate treatment. you want to need food, new clothes. you're going to need money for transportation to and from your for all office a meeting. if you miss a meeting, you could find yourself back in jail when i need a job. but there's a lot of discrimination out there by employment and housing. speaking of which you're going to need a home. i wouldn't have a home if it wasn't for the rescue, a life foundation to set up the house that transitional housing god. and that allegation is what's gotten me by it's the reason i'm sitting here and not back inside the rescue. a life nation was founded by dwayne mc our way, who knows how challenging it can be to re enter society. dwayne did 25 years himself from murder after school. we would have to go to my mother's dress shop and hang out all day work around the business
6:43 am
a dead time. we had several organizations that would just controlled area. so it was pretty say we had the black panthers. korean is organization united slays. we had the nation a is, it was pretty cool. you know, you have to worry about people coming in, holding you up and every day have to worry about that. that's what it was after the call and tell people when they got pushed on the ground, that everything thing like, you know, my crazy all above came out in a, you know, you will, you will fair game in the store operator. that's why we started having a lot, a lot of burglaries, my mother, she just a little bit late. she's beat up one day while i was there and i grabbed it due to the ground and keep doing better after he got the money. dad, he figured was enough money. you know, i was lucky and i was probably about 11 years old and, you know, and he had his gun on issue and how did me not move in just kicking her in and
6:44 am
demanding more money. and he got all the money we had, she know duane's mother wasn't rob. once she was robbed over and over again. ah, look forward to talking to you all. that technology should work for people. a robot must obey the orders given it by human beings, except when the shorter the conflict with the 1st law show your identification. we should be very careful about artificial intelligence. the point obviously is to create truck rather than fear i would take on various jobs with artificial intelligence. we'll summoning the demon a robot must protect its own existence with existence.
6:45 am
join me every 1st day on the alex simon show. and i'll be speaking to guess in the world, the politics sport, business. i'm show business. i'll see you then me the the, the, the the, me i read you but i'll be come in about me being so tight. and he smoked. we submit, just take this, you need medication and lead to other things. you know, lead to cocaine and pcp was in lean to my
6:46 am
crime. they had happened. they sent me to prison division for a 2nd degree murder, some dues robbie. they were supposed to been the middleman going to gets drugs and in the, in the rob the me because it, it happened to us in our business, the family business, so much this guy. he wasn't just the one that was robbing me all the time. he was the image of somebody had been victimized in my family and all these other times you had got away with this time you wanna go and get away. so it was kind of like a retaliation thing for you and you. you don't pay for that file, is that what you can forgive? you end up becoming what you can forgive. you end up becoming so i had to learn how to forgive and let it go. and i had to learn how to give him the day go. because he was also after i got to see his record, and this guy had
6:47 am
a rough seat, you know, from here from one sided room to the other. you know, and i, and i could see that, you know, he needed the same help that i need. we are generally taught to imagine that there is such thing as, for example, a murderer. in other words, the murder in the public imagination, and in most of our minds, whether we thought about it or not initially, is someone who likes to murder. and who would murder given the opportunity? i think that's what it's like, a vocation, right? that's what murderers do. they go around murdering. right. and that's why you don't let them out of prison because the amount of prison they're going to murder again. the reality is that like murder is almost always a context of the situation, it is statistically speaking very rarely driven by a compulsion or a desire to do harm, right? it's a reaction to some set of circumstances to a real or perceived threat, to some extreme emotional state. it's not a propensity, basically, we're confusing the profile of a psychopath. the psychopath we've read about,
6:48 am
you know, the serial killer with prisoners in general. if we, as a society, stop and imagine that the people in prison are fully human, incredibly diverse, have often been through some of the most extreme and difficult situations and conditions, some of which many of us couldn't even really begin to imagine. then suddenly, all that judgement and all that hostility and all that vindictiveness doesn't house . it's a natural place anymore. many of our students have committed murder and felt horrible about their crime. as soon as it happened, it's not like they needed to sit in prison for 15 or 20 years to realize they've done a bad thing or to never want to do it again. there is no human element to the criminal justice system. there is no human element, they're not there to help you. they're not their help society. they can say they,
6:49 am
that's what is set up for all they want. that's not what it's there for, not in california, and not in a lot of places. it's a system set up to punish people and they take a bad situation and they usually make it much worse. you know what the official success rate of state prison is nearly 80 percent of all inmates go back within 5 years. success rate of 20 percent. imagine if we had those requirements of airplanes. wow. 8 out of 10 airplane pulling out of the sky. it's a little bit crazy making, and that is department of justice. that's federal government research. dr. michael coil attended harvard university as a ph. d and justice studies. and as a professor of criminal justice, the california state university dr. coil says the prison not only increases criminal behavior, the deleterious effect on society and the whole. what happens to a family when the wage earner is removed from society and thrown into prison for 10
6:50 am
years? what happens to those children? how are they impacted? what other chances of success in life start to go down? what? how does that impact the community loss of resources in that community, more demand in the community now to help to help the family, maybe the other parent, maybe the children. so clearly a failure by every measure that you look at it that i think we just need to rethink the whole thing and not just keep trying to put lipstick on this bag. because that's what we're doing. but i think it is difficult for people to imagine a world without prisons. now we've become so accustomed to the idea of prisons that it's hard people imagine, well, what do you do with people if you don't put them in prison when, when they've done wrong, there are other alternative just to ask you said the degree of civilization in a society could be judged by entering its presence, hebrews, 133. remember those who are in chains as if you were in chains with them.
6:51 am
we don't. we put everybody at risk. my husband dan was a police officer and he was killed in the line of duty. my goal at the trial was to get the man who killed my husband, convicted of 1st degree murder, and be given the death penalty. and that's what i got. that's what happened. i thought, okay, here it is. i got justice. i'm going to be free from this, and it didn't happen. it was just a lie, it. it didn't change anything. a kayla cheryl, the famous for brokering the truth between the credits and the blood in 1992. then in 2004, he experienced an unimaginable tragedy. my oldest son was murdered. from when a break, college was shocked to death at a party. my daughter called me and was like
6:52 am
a dad didn't get together on system street in the projects and stuff and talking to my going on a mission put around. so i jumped on my car and i drove over there to the projects and i jumped out the car and i, i said a i said man, we'd play it. i for 924 two's game long enough. i'm like, you know, it's left is all blind and toothless. you know, and i'm like when, without anybody here to provide direction and guidance for the kids and the young folks and the parents in the loved ones that are left behind. like, i'm like, let's, let's do something different. there's an opportunity here for us to take the wisdom that we know works what we would do for our own kids. the brown kids were in trouble and do it for everybody's kids. we have to demand once in for all an ends to believe, team and prisons for at least half of the people in there are in there for crimes of addiction or economic desperation or mental health. instead of just throwing everybody that we've decided we can't help in prison use the money for restorative
6:53 am
justice programs re abs and social services. there has to be citizen oversight and accountability for all our public service. luckily for us, we have access to all of the data. if you have any interest in injustice or equal access to opportunity in this country, all the data, luckily is out there. it's just a matter of whether you give i was. so bible depends on being logical. i was the bible depends on being smart and our survival depends on love for each other. and now for yourself. the had a good monday morning to you. hello, fornia man. finally free. after serving 16 years for a crime, he didn't commit. i didn't think it was really so i so my attorneys in business and
6:54 am
i'm trying to describe ah, those and, and believable failing. i was just an emotional rollercoaster that you know, i mean i cried, walking out of the magnitude of all these years. my now here it is. and then a moment later i would be to bewildered to cry. and i would just be in that, that whole day was really scary for me. a lot of people like think that it would be like i was terrified there were well wishers well wishers their officers knew that i think they knew the truth. certainly knew the character, you know, my character and then i was in the parking lot. ah, the air smell different. i wish my mom could have been there,
6:55 am
which my dad could have been her was my step mom could have been there. but i think in a way they were ah news . like once i got on the other side, tony, i just felt like running like just getting as far away from that place as i possibly have to answer that. everybody would think that i would have a joyous time for me. i mean like, literally scared to death. like as i was waiting for me, my private investigator was waiting for me. i said you on here, what actually and i looked at paul and i said, you know, let's get this stuff on the truck out of here. and we couldn't leave fast enough.
6:56 am
i thought that would i have breakfast and i was like may just the 3rd menu just was overwhelming. like it was completely overwhelming. i. i haven't been in a vehicle without being chained that my feet. i was waste chain and then handcuffs, hook to the waist. chair, and in a paper jump suit for 26 years. ah ah, the word of jeff i try to try to figure it out. do i have to? i'm still trying to figure out like how do you object to the planet mars or
6:57 am
the oxygen with the or i don't think i'm adjusted. ah, the ah, the the news ah,
6:58 am
ah, ah. doing the breathing technique and then take a pool in the hill. and i knew it goes out to, to break down. i need to re read the diamond fields rec, tomorrow. the judge in green, a vision she gave me
6:59 am
is that you had to finish that or you can just hope other than the remain russell. but i hope so, but over the, over the book or least, just sort of the motion learning and a lot of stories going on in the course of your new business to actually mr. bob rhodes. i position we key might be a soldier because of the boot. she's wearing a huge switch called up. took a personal opinion. was the move in on the 1st place. i
7:00 am
me the the global stability cyber attacks regional conflicts and nights are all on the table for an international security conference in moscow policy is that us loc, dozens of websites of iranian link, news media. so i think that this information campaigns its box of furious backlash over censorship, killer or victim a french woman who says she lived in terror for decades on trial and murdering her abusive husband, can pay to say there's no protection for domestic violence victims in the report reveal suicide among us military veterans is 4 times higher than those who actually died.
