Philadelphia Man Exonerated After Nearly Two Decades In Prison For Crime He Didn’t Commit
I’d understand why this innocent guy arrest for they found nothin’ with him
that’s why bad cop’s should be in jail
Good luck to you man. Pleased for you!
And these types of videos I have never seen a follow-up of the repercussions against those who railroaded him into jail
Reminds me of the TV series For Life!
Okay okay don’t make a big deal about it. Our bad. Your out now..Please drive through and have a nice day…thankyou..
He’s so positive! It says a lot for him that he isn’t angry. I pray he has a great life.
On the day he was found guilty he was the best man in the courtroom.
Why does it take 19 years for a dna…test
No one can give you time back 19 years a racist system this is why the peaceful movement BLACK LIVES MATTER was formed to give a voice to the people that get abused with racism that destroys lives. the people who don’t understand BLM never been affected with racism we live with racism every day but it won’t put us down only make us stronger loving caring humans who will stay United. Haters will always hate
This happens to too many black men.
Defund the police
So glad he is free. The cops who lied and sent him to prison should be sent to prison for his original sentence.
16 innocent people!!!! It’s hard to even be polite when commenting on this. I hope the victims of this massive scam will get enough money to live to the fullest now and make up for the stolen years.
Is the government gonna compensate him ?
This man has an amazing spirit. He should be compensated bigtime for the wrong done.
IN YOU UGLY FACE TRUMP!!!!!!!
Being locked up almost 2 decades, being innocent will take anger from you. Zookeepers calls it zoochosis, most unfair judicial systems call it incarceration.
Praise God 🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽
And this is why people stay on death row for so long. People of color get railroaded all the time.. #PayMeBiotchs.
We know what American police are after we saw them murder George flyod corrupt racist cops.
Corrupt police force
Happy for this abused man.
Then Jesus said to the crowds and to his disciples: “The teachers of the law and the Pharisees sit in Moses’ seat. So you must be careful to do everything they tell you. But do not do what they do, for they do not practice what they preach. They tie up heavy, cumbersome loads and put them on other people’s shoulders, but they themselves are not willing to lift a finger to move them.
Everything they do is done for people to see: They make their phylacteries wide and the tassels on their garments long; they love the place of honor at banquets and the most important seats in the synagogues; they love to be greeted with respect in the marketplaces and to be called ‘Rabbi’ by others.
“But you are not to be called ‘Rabbi,’ for you have one Teacher, and you are all brothers. And do not call anyone on earth ‘father,’ for you have one Father, and he is in heaven. Nor are you to be called instructors, for you have one Instructor, the Messiah. The greatest among you will be your servant. For those who exalt themselves will be humbled, and those who humble themselves will be exalted”.
Matthew 23 NIV
You shall not make for yourself an image in the form of anything, in Heaven above or in the Earth beneath, or in the waters below. You shall not bow down to them or worship them, for I the Lord your God am a jealous God, punishing the children for the sin of the parents up to the third and fourth generation of those who hate me, but showing love to a thousand generations of those who love me and keep my commandments.
“If my people who are called by my name, humble themselves and pray, AND TURN FROM THEIR WICKED WAYS, I will hear from Heaven, will forgive their sins, and will heal their land.”
And when you pray, do not be like the hypocrites, for they love to pray standing in the synagogues and on the street corners to be seen by others. Truly I tell you, they have received their reward in full. But when you pray, go into your room, close the door and pray to your Father, who is unseen. Then your Father, who sees what is done in secret, will reward you. And when you pray, do not keep on babbling like pagans, for they think they will be heard because of their many words. Do not be like them, for your Father knows what you need before you ask him.
This, then, is how you should pray:
Our Father in heaven,
hallowed be your name,
your kingdom come,
your will be done,
on earth as it is in heaven.
Give us today our daily bread.
And forgive us our debts,
as we also have forgiven our debtors.
And lead us not into temptation,
but deliver us from the evil one.
For if you forgive other people when they sin against you, your heavenly Father will also forgive you. But if you do not forgive others their sins, your Father will not forgive your sins.
“Matthew 5-7 NIV Bible Gateway”, we can use google search.
These are the teachings,
The Righteousness of our Lord Jesus Christ our God.
REPENT, and start doing what is right.
If you abide my teachings, you are really my disciples; then you will know the truth, and the truth will set you free.
A time is coming and has now come, that the true worshipers will worship the Father in Spirit and Truth. God is Spirit, so his worshipers must worship in the Spirit and Truth; they are the kind of worshipers the Father seeks.
In the New Heaven and New Earth,
only Righteousness dwells.
May the Spirit of our Lord Jesus Christ our God be with you all.
US justice system is a bit too unfair. This man has lost 19 years of his life for something he didn’t do. It makes me sad 😞
Soooo many Black men have been through this. It’s just ridiculous
God I$ about to FREE all of HI$ Ppl….
Guilty until proven innocent
Get Some Money Out Of It Germain
They Owe You !!!
F. G. D.
He only saying it’s a win because it’s on tv. We see other big cases that made ppls careers and they refuse to overturn them
He could have worn any shirt for this but dude makes a brilliant choice and no one even notices. Well played sir. Congrats man. Welcome back! Here’s a beer on me.
Welcome home free black man God bless
Disgusting. Those 2 cops should be fired and charged for falsely testifying and intention of murder. AMD be sent life in prison. Proud for this man
Disenfranchise and deport. Don’t waste a penny on food and shelter(prison’s 2 good) for treacherous thugs. Shot in back…3 times?
Wow, apparently there is a 19-year lag in DNA tests results in the US. Only if you are black and the test is going to exonerate you.
Taking a look at the orderbook for Binance , we can see large sell orders as denoted by the yellow bars . Previously , these were layered between $ 13,000 and $ 16,500 . However , there are no meaningful orders at $18,000 anymore . This could be an early indication that large sellers have a new target in mind , and as far as higher time frames are concerned , $23,800 and $30,000 are the next logical options based on previous monthly resistance and the Fibonacci levels . Also the price may breakout any moment now , who knows ? which is why we all need a back up plan . my back up plan is trading , and i trade daily , with the accuratev v signals of Mr. Daniel Wright. Daniel is an expert in trade.who has been handling my trades for over a year now with no loss or whatsoever . Already gained more than 800 % in profits since i started trading with his signals . Contacting him for profitable trades is not a difficult task just simply write him on Wht’s App: + 1 ( 78 6 ) 52 7 – 29 47
It so many black men is in prison on crimes they never committed
But will he hold the police and DAs involved accountable?
Can they prosecute the cops who shadily accused him for this?
Thank God, but this shouldn’t happen anywhere . Proof should be Whats needed in these cases. Much like when you call the police and you know who sprayed your yard and you can’t get any justice without proof.
This happens far to much!
That means he is clean! Gods case, loose the people and let them go, the righteous judge .
The cop that shot him got a paid vacation for ruining this mans life. End qualified immunity
Ro.12:19-21

Sergeant Robert justin alford green at nellis AFB, can tell you a lot about fish.
He probably did it…..
…THEY ARE BEING PAID BACK, WATCH AND SEE…going down!. AP do not forgive any of them!
All to common in America
Gets the ccp WU-FLU dies tomorrow…
👏👏👏🙏🙏🙏👍
He deserves a million dollars for every year he was locked up.
How do we give his mother back those 19 years?
Only in America.
Sad ! Too common .
i bet the victim was a white woman.
How much money is he getting in pAyment
Free Bill!
Termaine Hicks WOW, an innocent guy who spent 19 years in prison for something he didn’t do.
And his response was so extraordinary on the day of his exoneration “not to be bitter,” and to move forward with with his life.
Thank you, Lester Holt at NBC for sharing this “amazing story” of what to be truly free really looks like.
Lk.12:32, 1jn5:15 &21 “little ones…” YHVH YShuah Ruach HOSANNA maranatha
All of those officers should have to forfeit their pensions to this man. That would be a small mess of justice.
They STOLE 19 years of that man’s life!!! WTF!!!
And yet the two guys from “Making a murderer” are still in jail for a murder they never committed.
god bless you mr. hicks! love the t-shirt!
dude sees the new reality: ccp big tech masked agenda & corona fear mania.. & he’s like nah I’m goin back in
even after all he had to live through, he still has the face and eyes of a good man
He about to be rich and sitting wonderful while they suffer
Police should getting thrown in prison for life for actions like this.
If a police officer lies and you end up doing jail and if the time coms that the truth comes to light that officer should receive the same punishment + 25% so if you do 10 years he does 12 and a half and you get all hes stuff house car and yes even their bank account
Proof the justice system does NOT function. Every innocent man/woman sitting in a cell or murdered by the state is a systemic failure.
2001 a long time ago. Twin towers were still up. God bless this man. I hope he can build a good life now.
What Happened to them Dirty Cop’s that Lied on this Man????????? Probably Nothing!!!!👎🏿
America is a shame nation
19 years baby! …Time to get a lawyer and sue🤦♀️
Keep releasing innocent and wrongly convicted prisoners. Yeah, punish the cops involved…Stop the electrocution now!
Too much money to made. They dont care if your inocent or guilty do time so we can make $$$$
Two DECADES! Wow I’m gonna need that back in blood!
Cops/pigs lie and murder just gangsters. I know they must be good cops out there somewhere. Please sue the city. God bless you on your journey Sir.
Who are these officers
Praise God!
Lock those guys up. They not police.
He not bitter, he should be. Some money should sweeten him up for sure.👍
How many more are like him?
$$$
Bruh
cleared by man blessed by god.
He’s about to get paid if files a lawsuit with the right attorney ‘s
He should be bitter!
Thank you God for getting this man home. I pray his parents were there for his homecoming. This man says he isnt bitter but this is something that makes this man a freer man than any other. He was robbed of a family and children and still says he isn’t a bitter man. This makes him a beautiful man with a beautiful soul. I pray 🙏 that he will have a wonderful life because he deserves nothing but the best. I pray 🙏 the state makes him a payment for lost earnings at twice the rate. There is nothing they can give him to take the nightmare away. God bless him. xx
the US needs to pay this man millions and millions…. and then lock everyone up involved with putting him in jail… take their freedom
Just a “few bad apples” huh trump? The PD sucks and shld be defunded PERIOD!
So what happens to the corrupt policemen who accused him?
One more example of why our federal government has no business executing anyone. If they can’t get convictions right, innocent people will be murdered with our tax dollars 😔
They owe him 19 million
I can’t imagine going through something that horrible. You run down an ally to help somebody and get shot in the back and locked up for 19 years.
How completely unfair.
Why wasn’t a DNA test done during the investigation, two decades ago? Un-believable and a prime example of mishandled justice. Glad this man is finally free….
I love to hear stories like this unfortunately for everyone of these types of cases there are thousands out there that are not prosecuted for crimes they’ve committed….
The steady physician dewailly fit because trouble delightfully explain against a shaggy lock. accurate, itchy option
20 years behind bars just extended his life by 20 more outside
Lying Cops!!!
So glad he’s out.. But 19 years he could never get back due to usual suspects RACIST COPS…NOW PAY HIM AND ARREST THOSE OFFICERS THAT LIED UNDER YALL SO CALL BS oath. Thank you.
He was gone 19 years too long …how can anything give that back? Poor man but I’m glad he’s out…I hope those responsible for his incarceration are also responsible for paying him on the outside for 19 years!
An innocent man spends twenty plus years for something he didn’t do while Derek chauvin the monster is sitting home after what he did for the whole world to see.
