3. 0:05bringing you the news and
4. 0:08I'm going to do a report on a man named
5. 0:11Glenn Ford now before I get into that I
6. 0:13wanted to say that there has been an
7. 0:14explosion in New York and uh massive
8. 0:18structures have like just crumbled it's
9. 0:21not terrorism as far as they know it's
10. 0:22just something exploded in the building
11. 0:24and I guess it was the old building I
12. 0:27don't know but you can look that up I'll
13. 0:28link that in the description but we're
14. 0:30not here to talk about that
15. 0:30unfortunately so far they say that there
16. 0:32are at least two deaths I might report
17. 0:34on that later when they get some more
18. 0:36updated information now
19. 0:39what I want to talk about right now is a
20. 0:42man named Glenn Ford and uh I'm reading
21. 0:46it I just read an article about it today
22. 0:47he was Louisiana's longest serving death
23. 0:51row prisoner he was locked up and on
24. 0:53death row for over 30 years 30 years now
25. 0:57they just recently found out that this
26. 0:59man was innocent after all this time
27. 1:03and they've released him from Death Row
28. 1:04released him from prison all that uh
29. 1:06cleared his name or whatever but good
30. 1:08God people we got to get the justice
31. 1:10system fixed think about this this man
32. 1:13lost 30 years of his life he said he had
33. 1:17children when he went to prison and now
34. 1:18they are grown men with children that's
35. 1:21one of the statements that he made
36. 1:23um
37. 1:24I don't know I see this [ __ ] all the
38. 1:25time I'd be looking through the news I'd
39. 1:27be seeing [ __ ] like this all the time
40. 1:28and I'm telling you we have a flawed
41. 1:30justice system they need to fix that
42. 1:31[ __ ] think about 30 years he could have
43. 1:34died in there now I think if he would
44. 1:36have died in there and they maybe never
45. 1:37even known they would have never found
46. 1:39out that he was innocent or what if he
47. 1:41would have died and then they would have
48. 1:42said oh yeah he was innocent like think
49. 1:45about how many people might be sitting
50. 1:47in jail right now doing long prison
51. 1:49terms and could possibly be innocent I
52. 1:52don't know I know it's hard because I
53. 1:55know that when we think somebody did
54. 1:56something we want to make them you know
55. 1:57we want to punish them for it and things
56. 1:59like that but the world just doesn't
57. 2:01work like that because we have a lot of
58. 2:03things a lot of forces working against
59. 2:05Justice you have crooked cops crooked
60. 2:08lawyers uh just uh people that are
61. 2:10crooked in general then you have uh
62. 2:13people like for instance there's people
63. 2:15that are
64. 2:16um confessing the crimes they didn't
65. 2:17even do trying to be popular
66. 2:20um and you might say well that's their
67. 2:22their dumb you know they're dumb for
68. 2:24that but if somebody was to confess for
69. 2:26a crime they didn't do purposely then
70. 2:28there's a criminal running around or if
71. 2:30somebody gets locked up for something
72. 2:32that they didn't do then there's
73. 2:35you know a criminal running around
74. 2:37um I know we want to get criminals off
75. 2:39the street I know we want to make people
76. 2:40pay for doing bad things like if you
77. 2:42kill somebody you want them to be
78. 2:44murdered whatever but if there's not a
79. 2:46hundred percent evidence against someone
80. 2:48I think we need to stop locking people
81. 2:50up we need to have stronger cases
82. 2:52against these people some of these
83. 2:54circumstantial cases are not even that
84. 2:55good now if you want to go forensically
85. 2:58I I'd say it holds a stronger case but
86. 3:00circumstantial evidence oh the guy was
87. 3:02in the vicinity of the area uh you know
88. 3:05he matches the description type of [ __ ]
89. 3:06to me that [ __ ] don't fly anymore
90. 3:08there's so much DNA so much forensic
91. 3:11science out there that we should be able
92. 3:12to to capture criminals and quit locking
93. 3:15up innocent people I'm gonna link you to
94. 3:17the story in the bottom here and uh
95. 3:18hopefully you guys enjoyed the video and
