YouTube Description
as posted by the channelGlenn Ford spent 30 years of his life behind bars for a murder that he did not commit. His exoneration has been wrought with injustice with the latest topping it all. Ford, who was recently diagnosed with stage four lung cancer, was denied any restitution for the time he served.
Cenk Uygur () and Ana Kasparian () of The Young Turks discuss.
"Glenn Ford was imprisoned nearly half his life for a murder he didn't commit. Now, the 65-year-old has been denied restitution for his nearly 30 years on Louisiana's death row.
Caddo Parish District Judge Katherine Dorroh on Friday denied Ford compensation, saying that while Ford did not commit the murder that led to his wrongful imprisonment, he was "proven to be guilty of lesser crimes and was not an innocent man." The judge said Ford knew about plans for the robbery that led to the killing and didn't stop it. Further, he attempted to destroy evidence by pawning items taken in the robbery and tried to find buyers for the murder weapon used by men Ford implicated in the murder.” *
