LINK Vincent Simmons has his day in court after 44 years in prison - CBS News
This is amazing news!!! The judge ordered him retried and the DA declined and released him. When I worked at Angola, he was housed in my area. I spoke to him multiple times and he loaned me the book that was written about his case. Unbelievable how it went down. Well, not really- it was in Louisiana. The picture attached is of the lineup where the victim picked him as the perpetrator. You'll notice he's the only one of the 8 that's in handcuffs.

Yep. One of the things he'd been trying to get a court to consider was the 2 victims had said all they knew was it was a black man and that "all black men look alike"

Posted by glennlabThe western world is shocked by the RCC Supreme Despots ruling. It is time to expand the court to 13 members (one for each judicial district)

Posted by KilltheskyfairyYep! I marched, campaigned, got petitions signed and for what?
Posted by KilltheskyfairyEspecially the Bernie bros! Hillary wasn’t progressive enough and the Democrats had supported her more than Bernie so we’re suspect. We’d still have abortion rights if you had voted.
