      I’ve been thinking a lot about all of the people who have spent years or even decades in prison but then are released because their lawyers have been able to show their clients were wrongly convicted and are actually innocent.

      So often the underlying convictions have unsettling implications — or explicit proof — of racism contained within them. They often are poor and had little (or bad) help in their initial defense.

      And yet, so often, those people come to their story with such grace and humility. And not just when they’re released. Throughout the process. I’m thinking about those people a lot.

      Many faced racist systems that set them up to fail, flubbed-at-best criminal trials and convictions, and harsh sentences that they served for years — yet maintain grace. I can’t get them out of my head when I think about Brett Kavanaugh’s performance last Thursday.

          Chris, I’ve worked to free several of these people in MT. One thing that strikes me is, when they are released and proven innocent, they’re given exactly nothing from the State... and, in my experience, they expect nothing. The difference in expectations is striking.

          maybe something to do with any action could lead to real punishment vs. every action celebrated and lionized

          Thank you for writing what I’ve been thinking about all week but was unable to put into the right words. This video keeps coming to mind:https://www.cnn.com/videos/us/2018/05/16/ny-man-wrongly-convicted-exonerated-orig-video.cnn …

          Do you honestly think those people were never angry? That they never yelled or lashed out at the injustice inflicted on them? Especially when the injustice first happened, when they were being railroaded and couldn’t do anything? Just bcuz you didnt see it, it didn’t happen?

          That's because you are a partisan hack.
