YouTube Description

as posted by the channel

According to an Innocence Project report, Blacks are seven-times more likely than Whites to be wrongfully convicted of murder and three times more likely than White people to be wrongfully convicted of sexual assault.

Such is the case of Lamar Johnson...

In 1994, the ACLU believes that the St. Louis Circuit Attorney's Office committed gross prosecutorial misconduct in order to convict him of murder. They knowingly presented perjured testimony, fabricated facts to negate Johnson's strongly corroborated alibi, and buried the fact that a prime witness against him was a paid jailhouse informant.

Somil Trivedi, Senior Staff Attorney for the Criminal Law Reform Project at the ACLU spoke with Roland Martin during Monday's edition of #RolandMartinUnfiltered about Here to talk what's happening with this disturbing case.
