the more ruthless or was i spoke to him when somebody is accused of murder or you're arrested for murder. it's tape recording. everything is tape record. i couldn't find his tape. ready it had been taken out of evidence by detective mon 2, and it was never put back into evidence. detective mind said the footprints outside the house, match the footprints on the inside. lieutenant gavin found the footprints weren't actually looked at by 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. see, this is a great embarrassment for any large organization that you've convicted somebody for murder, and then 51020 years later it's, it turns out that the person is actually innocent. 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, the p. d. internal affairs department claimed bruce's complaints were unfounded and that no misconduct had occurred. you can have an internal investigation where we all investigate ourselves, that like a job my mom against the authorities or anything like that. i'm just a gift for system that has no checks and balances youth food is shaking your i believe 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 process or tauriel. misconduct does a major factor of wrongful convictions. just a single thread that runs through almost all of the wrongful condition cases. jeff jessica beck as a master's in criminal justice,

specializing and 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 conviction, which enabled him to start his own foundation. and i'm the founder and executive director of the georgia duster 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. the prosecutors to really uphold what's become just words. which is, you know, they're there to do justice. they're there to do the right thing. it becomes more

like where they are, the when, 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, there's 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 committed the crime or not get lost in that process because it's all about winning my case. amusing that i mean in the real world, you know, you're supposed to be held accountable for your wrong don't. so therefore, if you are a person of authority of authority, you have to be held at a higher standard than just leave me. i think we actually to step back and kind of rethink the whole system in the way we're approaching it, because it's become this game and people's life loss as

a result of the me. if 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 requesting that you want all your evidence saved. otherwise they may destroy it 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. the innocence project estimates conservatively there could easily be 40000 to over 100000 americans, currently wrongfully convicted. the majority of wish, or people of color to the private investigator never gave up. on his case, he had

a very vigorous private investigator who made a complaint to be able to be in atlanta on the desk of a internal affairs investigator who looked at braces 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 listener. i don't look at myself as a hero. i look at myself as a sort of as a survivor, because the system attacked me system one after me. and the system did everything i

could to keep bruce liquor in jail and everything to keep me quiet. its been a lot of therapy, my wife and i met at in 3rd grade. we were elementary junior high school sweethearts who 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 the l a times bruce lasker, 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 at the conclusion of that, they filed an article called a case of doubt that eventually won them in award. when the time's work, 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 department and the conduct 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 at all. ah, tim, this is a miracle story as well. in late 2012, after 26 years, he made parole. 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 to survive, getting out a lot harder than it sounds. you may have develop post traumatic stress disorder 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 missed a meeting, you could find yourself back in jail. going to need a job. but there's a lot of discrimination out there for 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, 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 alive found ation was founded by dwayne macaulay, who knows how challenging it can be to re enter society. dwayne did 25 years himself for murder after school. we would have to go down to my mother's dress and hang out all day work around the business. dead time. we had several organizations that were just controlled area. so it was pretty say we had black pastors ring is

on vase 90 slays. we had the nation a is, it was pretty cool. you know, you didn't have to worry about people coming in holding you up and every day you have to worry about that. but it was after the call until people, when they got pushed on the ground that everything seeing like, you know, went crazy. all above came out in a, you know, you will, you will fair again made an operator. that's when we started having a lot lot of burglaries, my mother, she just a little bit late. she was 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. did he figured was enough money located? i was probably about 11 years old and you know, he had his gun on issue now. didn't mean not to move in just, you know, this is kicking her in and demanded more money and he got all the money we had. she know duane's mother wasn't brown. once. she was robbed over and over again.

the russia, china relations are strong and getting deeper. we are told this is dangerous for the washington lead world. is it? why are moscow in beijing moving closer together? is the miscalculations of the washington consensus? have anything to do with it? is the china russia a liar made it america? when i would chose the wrong, why don't, i just don't need you to fill out this thing because the after an engagement equals the trail. when so many find themselves will depart. we choose to look for common ground

in i don't think they can't ride on police report. in december 2020 a group of anti finishes. fill out a film crew access for 3 months. so if people organization, it's an idea that must be opposed that channel out the gate route, they make their faces. but they can say what they believe in. we believe in helping our community. we believe that fascism is one of the major threats to the united states as gotten driven. this is a john to see who and teeth are really in order for me, my 1st amendment right and say that my life matter. i have to be onto the teacher that that's how we can't trust the police. we can't trust the government. we can't trust anyone except or so to protect ourselves in

the news the me i said you but i'll be come in about an hour so a tight and he smoked. we submit just take this need for medicaid and lead to other things, you know, lead co gay pcp was in lean to my

to crime they had happened. they sent me to prison in for a 2nd degree, murder seduce me. they were supposed to been the middleman going to gets drugs in, in a be in the robbing me because it, it happened to us in our business, the family business. so much this guy. he wasn't just someone that was robbing me all the time. he was the image of somebody had been victimized in my family and in all these other times you had got away with this time you weren't going to get away . so it was kind of like a retaliation thing for you and you, you don't pay for that. and so what i found 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 a go. and i had to learn how to forgive him. and that they go because he was also

after i got to see his record. and this guy had a rough seat, you know, from here from one sided room to the other. you know, 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. and 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 murders do. they go around murdering, right, and that's why you don't let them out of prison out 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,

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 have such 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,

that's what a set up for all they want. that's not what it's there for, not in california, and not in a lot of places, get some systems 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 have those requirements of airplanes. wow. 8 out of 10 airplanes falling 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 that has the ability, serious effect on society as a whole. what happens to a family when the wage earner is removed from society and thrown into prison for 10

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 demands 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 to people imagine. well, what do you do with people if you don't put them in for and when, when they've done wrong, there are other alternatives. just ask you that the degree of civilization in a society can be judged by entering its presence, hebrews, 133. remember those who are in chains as if you were in chains with them.

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, it was just a lie, it, it didn't change anything. a kayla cheryl's us, famous for brokering the truth between the credits and the bloods in 1992. then in 2004, he experienced an unimaginable tragedy. my oldest son was murdered from when a break college. and i was shocked to death at a party. my daughter called me,

was like a dad didn't get together on sesame street in the projects and stuff and talking about going on a mission put around. so i jumped in 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 played this 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 in guidance for the kids and the young folks and the parents in the loved ones that are left by 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 one for all an ends to believe, team and prisons for profit. 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 the prison use the money for

restorative justice programs 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. just a matter of whether you give i was survival depends on being logical. i was the bible depends on being slight and our survival depends on love for each other and love for yourself. the had a good monday morning to you how fornia man finally free after serving 16 years for a crime, he didn't commit. i mean, think it was really so i so my chinese and visiting and i'm trying to describe

ah, those and believable failing. there was just an emotional rollercoaster that, you know, i mean, i cried watching out. it was just the magnitude of all these years. like 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 a lot of people. like, think that it would be like a i was terrified there were well wishers well wishers there of officers. they 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,

which my dad could have been there which my step mom could have been there. but i think in a way they were, ah, news. like on the other side was tony. i just felt like running like just getting as far away from their places are possible. that to answer that, everybody would think that i would have a joyous time for me. i mean like, literally scared to death. my cousin was waiting for me, my private invest, it was waiting for me. i said, you would actually say 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.

i thought that would i have breakfast and i was like may that 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 and with a waste chain. and then handcuffs took to the waist. and in a paper jump suit for 26 years. ah, yeah. the the or to just try to i try to figure out who i have to kind of figured out word out like
