        45 years is my entire life minus 2 years! Sitting behind bars that long for something you did not do. God protected him and saw him through the darkness.

        Yet another example of why we shouldn't have the death penalty in this country. I'd rather 100 guilty men go free than to put to death 1 innocent man.

        It looks like you are rebroadcasting this tweet. Only that you are now asking us the question after the answer.

        Question....for how long was he sentenced, considering he was freed (only) after the conviction was tossed out?

        45 years wasted for this poor man and you have convicted rapists like Brock Turner who get a rap on the knuckles because of their "bright future". SMH. This world is so screwed up.
