The sad thing is, his case is not unique. Way too many people are convicted for crimes in the same way where some "cell mate" has heard the other person confess to crimes, and then the "informant" gets rewarded.

We seriously need to change how things are done especially in cases where the only evidence is from incentivized informant testimony.

If the Missouri governor won't pardon him, shouldn't Biden be able to pardon him? Hopefully enough noise is made that he takes notice.

Unfortunately we've all seen this play out before where someone who can prove they are innocent is still executed.

President can’t pardon state crimes. I’m assuming it’s be state since that is what’s referenced in the YouTube description.

Unfortunately, you’re dependent on the state/judicial system that convicted you to decide that they made a mistake, which is not always possible when they don’t want to admit to it.

I know I’m preaching to the choir, but are should be no death penalty ever.
