How do we know he dindu?
Have you seen the evidence?
If he dindu and his lawyers ignored the evidence I would think he have grounds for an appeal and even a case against his lawyers.
Where are we on all that?
I’m not saying he did do or dindu for the record but most people in prison say they dindu.

Why is it you have nothing to say here about the misdeeds of LE?
By LE do mean the DA, the cops or both?

He should have been charged with Felon in possession of a gun.

I am 64 year old white republican. I do practice criminal law. The habitual offender law is often abused by prosecutors against white and black defendants. It is garbage.

Sounds like she's a lawyer and we know they're reliable and trustworthy, especially when they start using inflammatory language.
Reason mag does this crap all the time. Writes up the poor innocent victim who was innocently minding their own business, just trying to make a living in their field of choice, which just so happens to be armed robbery.
I'm not saying her story isn't true, but you can say anything if you're anonymous and no one can verify the facts.

LEO badly needs to adopt new best practices when it comes to eyewitness accounts and police lineups. Perhaps somewhat surprisingly, Texas is leading the way on adopting so-called "sequential lineups", which makes a lot of sense. Basically, eyewitnesses, get to see one suspect at a time (instead of a page of them all at once).
quote:
The reforms that have been instituted in Texas “are all good changes, and it’s not something that’s difficult,” Jason Lewis, a sergeant in Lubbock, told me. “This actually helps the investigation, because you want your witnesses to be credible and you want them to be correct.” Research carried out in Austin between 2008 and 2011 shows that the use of sequential lineups substantially “reduces mistaken identifications with little or no reduction in accurate identifications.” Jeff Blackburn said, “In terms of conducting eyewitness identification, Texas is doing better than any state in the Union.”

To be clear, there’s no evidence he was innocent. And there’s been no new evidence introduced.

You know that for a fact or you're guessing?

It’s a fact.
But, it’s a feel good story based on everyone wanting to feel good.
There was no new evidence introduced.
I’m a little cautious about stories like this. The Central Park guys definitely participated in the rape and beating of the jogger lady and New York City paid them millions and made them folk heroes to atone for the sins of slavery and racism.

He was still a felon in possession. That's an automatic five years federal time.

And to the other point, this is just because white people like to enslave blacks? Or a corrupt and abusive system everyone should be wary of?

That’s not quite accurate. The victim also said the gun Briley was holding when captured was the gun used in the robbery - a two-toned Smith and Wesson.
The girl that Briley said he was with never testified to that. That would have been an easy out.
The court not allowing a delay to get cellphone evidence seemed to be a bad decision.
The victim ID is fraught with difficulty.
I’m fine with Briley being let go on appeal. I’m not going to celebrate him as a hero or say he was definitely wrongfully convicted. He could have easily been the perp.
A rundown of the details:

That seems like a very uncharitable interpretation of what happened

. Given he was innocent
He was also a felon in possession of a firearm.
