Yo this is the stuff I woke up to this morning.  Heard it on the radio. 


This guy:

The state agreed that back in 1980 he was wrongfully convicted of killing a girl he had been dating.


They realized this after finally looking DNA evidence.  The crazy part is that most of the other other cities in Texas threw away all their old DNA evidence.  To make it even more crazy, Woodard is the 17th man to be released using DNA evidence just from Dallas alone.  And so far they only looked into 40 cases. 


So that is 17 fuckups out of 40 investigations. 


There is a new guy in charge and they're supposed to be fixing everything (good luck completely fixing that) but they expect there are over 500 wrongfully accused people who have been locked up for decades. 


The whole situation is wack.  The article talks about how Woodard kept his head up for 27 years and refused to apologize for something he aint do, even when they offered him a lighter sentence.


That is somethin' to inspire us folk who think we got it bad.  At least we aint been locked up for three decades over some fallacy.
