MY LATEST. Meet Kevin Smith. That's the last known picture of him as a free man back in 2010. 8 years ago he was arrested on a drug charge in New Orleans. AND HE WAS NEVER CONVICTED. He's been in jail that whole time. Somehow, it gets worse... https://injusticetoday.com/louisiana-held-a-man-in-jail-for-over-8-years-without-ever-convicting-him-of-a-crime-8931040644b1 …pic.twitter.com/p4RWc31Ory
Without ever being convicted for a crime, Kevin was kept in jail on a drug charge for all of: 2010 2011 2012 2013 2014 2015 2016 2017 Then, in a decision I followed very closely, a judge ordered his release, stating that his constitutional right to a speedy trial was violatedpic.twitter.com/r8zchm3l8T
So, in November of 2017, having served 7 years in jail without ever being convicted of a crime, local news reports stated that Kevin Smith was going to be free in 2-3 days. http://www.theadvocate.com/new_orleans/news/courts/article_d76e9496-c995-11e7-bd8b-4bb8d14cacbf.html … I thought that was the end of if and that he would soon be free. I was wrong.
Having been jailed for 7 straight years without ever being convicted, a judge dismissed his case, and ordered him set free. To my surprise, it never happened. Kevin's still in jail RIGHT NOW. What I am about to tell you is as egregious an offense as anything you'll ever hear.
The State of Louisiana, having jailed Kevin Smith now for 8 years without ever convicting him of a crime, now says they are going to jail him to 2022 for not changing his mailing address properly 8 years ago. He's a for-profit prison. The owners are filthy rich.
The state should owe him compensation for the YEARS of inappropriate incarceration in violation of his constitutional rights!
Kevin Smith needs a good lawyer to sue for his wrongful imprisonment & his constitutional rights were violated. Imagine 8 years of your life gone.. poof!!
Sirhan Sirhan has been in Jail since 1968, didn't kill RFK, but you're not allowed to write about it or you will be unemployed.
Incompetence , corruption related obstruction -is rampant in our legal system . Only when substantial fines and career ending sanctions are imposed on persons who ignore and abuse justice -will things change
what the hell?
So atrocities as this one will continue to happen. The Asian man too was once also considered to be degenerate, subject to lynchings, and forced to live in segregated neighborhoods and attend segregated schools under a regime of discriminatory laws and practices, sometimes

Get in touch with Jay Z. He has an organization to help folks like this.
YES it was!
Let me guess, he was black.
Thank you for covering this story but you’ve left out so many details. Can you explain what the parole board has to do with any of this? Was he on parole for a previous offense unrelated to the drug charge? Who testified at his parole hearing? What are his lawyers doing?
