Too close to home w/ this one. In 92 I was 26yrs old accused of a crime in my hometown St Louis, Missouri. I was driving trucks and in Riverside CA at the time of the crime. Despite witness statements, logs, video evidence that I wasn't in St Louis at the time. The D.A. still tried his best to lock me up for the crime, a couple weeks before my trial they caught the real person who did the crime.
No harm no foul most would say, not me. I sued the cops, the D.A. and won my case and got a decent settlement. A month later I moved to Miami Florida, never looked back only went back to see my mom for a few days a year. As far as I'm concerned my hometown doesn't exist I'm a Floridian once my mom moved to Florida, I haven't been back since.
Sorry that you went through that smh. I can tell it has caused you trauma just from the few words of you comment. I wish you well as you slowly transform into a "Florida Man". JK đ
I can't imagine the repercussions of being wrongfully charged of a crime you did not commit. Your reputation would be destroyed even if you have been proven innocent.
Often that's what people what is the destination of credibility regardless of guilt or Innocents. There are just evil people (mostly racist people), just what to be quick to judge with out knowing the person there judging.
You're a good man Mike. Your compassion for these people is very obvious and authentic, thank you for the bravery you show in being yourself.
And has anyone noticed how many of these people were of color? Women and men of color, every time; black, Native American.. and white women, a rainbow of prejudice. Tragic and very telling about the culture our Police live in so blithely.
One story not mentioned here is that of Christopher Tapp. A man who spent 20 years behind bars for the brutal murder and rape of Angie Dodge. The case was eventually overturned due to the tireless work of Angie Dodge's own mother not being convinced of how the case went. She never believed that they had the right man. This eventually led to DNA evidence convicting Brian Dripps in 2021.
Bravo to List 25 for this amazing list. keep them coming. I've loved your show for years.
I really hope these people filed suit. They absolutely deserve recompense.
Of all the "creepiest" and "disturbed" videos this is the actual scariest. Following the law or just being helpful can still get you into a lot of trouble anyway
I've been watching this channel for years, and it's one of thr only "list channels " I watch. I love that you guys always have different and unique lists. Thank you for educating us all!
Wow, thank you!
Hearing these cases remind me that some horrible people believe that "innocent until proven guilty" doesn't exist and that if you like criminal, you're the criminal.
As for future topics, Mike, may i recommend list of famous people affected by HIV/AIDS?
Much love and keep up the goods!
God Bless them all! I think anyone wrongly convicted should be paid handsomely for their time served!
This is why I love doing my job. I work for the public defenderâs office in my area. Iâm not an attorney, but we celebrate every not guilty and appeal we get!
Thank you sir for your public service.You are a hero.
Having gone through enough that is in the extent of false accusation, something has always bothered me in this sense and your comment gives me a context to posit, logically:
How many people who did deeds, make more progress getting away, when the people wrongfully charged are waiting for their own "not guilty"s
"WE WERE TAUGHT:
ALWAYS USE OUR
BEST JUDGEMENT"
in false convictions,
when this happens
because of an
inadequate study
or incompetence,
the state may be
sued for those
'eager officer(s)'s'
poor actions &
judgements..
perhaps, if the law
would make them at
least partly held to
pay that civil rights
lawsuit - wouldn't
it help a haphazard
investigation get the
'improvements' that should be in the
best interest of a
righteous arrest,
instead of the score
of convictions
which meet in the
arena of wasted
time & their hasty
conclusions ?
i personally escaped
being railroaded
by zealous cops,
when the retiring
judge reviewed
and promptly chose
'dismissal'
i moved away from that town & went to
care for my aging
grandmother
shortly afterwards
if an officer saw a
possibility of paying
for his wrongfully
based decisions, the
states might see
less problems
to this issue

@@warrior--poet5418 Iâm happy your case was dismissed!
Unfortunately, itâs not just overzealous cops. There is a judge in our county who will send people to jail if they donât come sign up for a public defender. Itâs bullshit and I absolutely hate it and every time I get a call from the jail itâs pretty much bitching about the specific judge. And they have every right to bitch. Yes, we have people on the court to sign you up but there are days where people come in to court and we donât have people there to do the paperwork for our clients.
Every day I sit across from inmates who need more than an attorney. We use a holistic defense system. So our clients who are at risk for recidivism are referred to our in house social worker department. The recidivism rates are dropping on the individual level, meaning a client who has repeated contacts with the criminal justice system. Weâre also saving taxpayerâs money, in the millions. Thatâs just in my county and my state. This defense model was created by The Bronx Defenderâs and you should totally check them out.
@@dsxa918 I will admit I am exhausted right now. This is causing me to not understand your question that well. So Iâm going to explain my office and how we work.
@@dsxa918
Thank you for doing this video. It's very important for these people to be known and their stories heard.
This is my chief argument against the death penalty. If a person is falsely imprisoned they could get at least some of their life back but if executedâŠ
Exactly. Its hard to imagine but theres been many if not hundreds to thousands of innocent ppl wrongly executed through the years. We just have no way of knowing the true number. Honestly I don't think I'd even want to know. đ„
@@debbylou5729 but what if they really didnt do it? Do you know how many innocent ppl have been proven innocent only after they've been wrongly executed? I'd suggest you look into it. I think you might change your mind. And I can only pray that you or one of your loved ones never end up in a situation similar.
â@@stellamay5986 it not hard to imagine when it happens on a daily basisđ€Šđżââïž
Very well done!
Thank you very much!
@@list25 I cannot deny the level of quality in any of your presentations. Though I am curious how you arrived back at List25âŠ
Makes us wonder how many others are innocent.
In Missouri and other states with contrary laws, the wrongfully convicted should be able to sue the police, city, county sheriff, coroner, and state, even the unions involved based on new evidence aloneâŁïžâïž
While these innocent people were in prison, the real criminals were free to continue to walk the streets. That's a scary thought.
I think of the fact that you can't replace that time. Not one minute. People who are wrongfully convicted and lose the same time as if they committed the crime, should be able to go through the rest of their life being able to point and say "I want that" and the government should have to pay for it. No telling what they could have accomplished in 10 years, with a clean record, without the stress of having been prosecuted. I guarantee their mugshots and finger prints don't get removed from the system either. Their goal isn't justice, it's to get everyone in the system by making enough laws everyone will break one at some point in their life.
â@@snafubare~
the modern culture agrees with you by copying & tracking, then recording all of us in everything that we are or do - those records keep us not free, but assimilated
we give out our face
and prints, lately the technology is taking our retina patterns & there's some hidden,
dark possibilities to this information use as we move forward
@@warrior--poet5418 I love the new apps. "Get cash back on everything you buy!" You mean keep track of everything I buy. "Get paid for walking!" You mean track my location 24/7. Etc.
Mike, well done on highlighting these cases. I DID find some portions really hard to watch. Like many woman, I have been a victim of sexual assault, so seeing the background images was extremely difficult. Still, the information should be shared.
What's Crazy is that after these people on this list were exhonorated, that's more than 1 decade or 2, in the Low-End! And even with today's modern technology and break through in justice, those years of life taken from them can Never be returned back to them.
Not one second. 12mill for 30 years? That's half my life of possible love interests, people I could have met, knowledge and experience I could have gained... There's no saying someone wouldn't be worth 100 million in 30 years. (Cliffords case) 12 million doesn't even BEGIN to pay for it. He should be tax exempt for life for one. Secondly if he sees a 200 ft yacht and wants it, the gov should have to buy it for him. Anything he wants. Any celebrity he wants to meet, any pro sports game he wants to see from the presidential box, gov should have to pay for everything but investments and gambling. Anything material he wants he should get.
47 year framing and couldn't collect compensation? That hurts.
I'm so glad you guys are back
Great video!
Cases like this are the reason why Iâm against the death penalty. A life sentence, we have a shot at correcting a wrong. Once someone is executed, thereâs no chance of correction.
Iâve been an witness for a crime before. Luckily it wasnât a murder (car theft) and the police had a strong case without my testimony. I later found out I made a mistake in my account to police. I got the logo on the suspectâs shirt wrong.
I love your lists! †Very entertaining!
hi there, would you consider a follow up video but with wrongful convictions of the UK, because we have many. Thankyou for bringing this type of Content to us.
I only discovered you were back yesterday when you came back into my feed. So I caught up on a bunch. đ
Welcome back!
Well done
Imagine loosing ur child in a fire and going to prison for starting the fire that you didnât do. Talk about being kicked when ur down. Rip to the poor child.
Our system in the US has so many flaws. This is why the death penalty should be abolished nationwide.
I could not warch past half way. It just made my heart cry. I am a victim of crime.
So sad at the horrific injustice these people faced with public defenders probably with no experience
6:33 Itâs really infuriating how science is seen as definite and infallible, when so often itâs later found to be flawed or even completely incorrect.
I'm surprised Michael Morton of Round Rock, Texas isn't on this list. He spent over 23 years in prison before being exonerated.
WALTER SWIFT, BIRMINGHAM 6, EVEN WITH JUST THE MOST KNOWN CASES THIS WOULDN`T BE A 25`S LIST IT WOULD BE IN THE THOUSANDS!
If someone did something awful to me and the sent the wrong person to prison, I would be pissed the actual person is still walking around. The system sometimes just wants to get the case over with and Don't care.
Hello Mike, I know someone this happened too. My brother was convicted for opening a checking account in his name with his friends ss number. He swore to me he didn't do it. When he got out after 5 years my old neighbor came buy and said thanks for doing my time for me. Her and my brothers girlfriend did this together
this is the most scary from the death penalty information center The death penalty carries the inherent risk of executing an innocent person. Since 1973, at least 190 people who had been wrongly convicted and sentenced to death in the U.S. have been exonerated.
Mike is awesome. â€â€â€
Got blamed for a lot of crap when I was younger that I didn't do. So I did it later, then blamed it on others and provided "evidence" that it was them.
What the hell?
@@stellamay5986 An example would be when I was accused of stealing a large amount of money, I didn't. While shopping in a group, including the accuser, I slipped merchandise into her bag. Everything was good till we walked out and the alarms went off. Cops arrested her and she got trespassed. I got my revenge on at least one person. She was also fired once her employer got wind she "stole" stuff that they also sold where she worked. Had a difficult time finding a new job an had to sell her car because she couldn't pay it off.
Honestly what could you do? Besides obviously protesting your innocence. Once you're locked up the absolute most you can do is make a phone call or write a hand written letter. Unless you're wealthy or hold some kind of power of some sort you basically screwed. They say you're innocent until proven guilty but its really you're guilty until proven innocent.
It's bad enough to be accused of a crime but then being found guilty knowing that you didn't do it would be so much worse. Your life would be completely ruined. Not only would you be in prison for who knows how long. Even if you were eventually proven to innocent, you wouldn't be able to get that time or the relationships you had before then back. I feel horrible for anyone that finds themselves in that situation. I pray for all the people that are going through this.
imagine torturing countless people as a member of law enforcement and all you get is "fired" and not a "firing squad". And people cannot understand why theres constant calls for justice and reforms
This is why when people say that if you do t want to be kicked up don't break the law I tell them to f--- off.
When the parent or family member doesn't believe you're guilty - that says a lot.
What about Andy Dufresne?
1:55 Why are bad judges never held accountable? People arenât really presumed innocent until their verdict - itâs innocent until theyâre trial. And once convicted, any shadow of a doubt of innocence is gone - despite so many wrongful convictions and even executions
ââ ïžWARNING â ïžâif you're falsely arrested dont speak and ask for a lawyer when the police officer reads your rights immediately ask for a lawyer. You won't talk your way out of it.
Mike I bet you can make several more videos on wrongful conviction
That's a topic I wish we couldn't find material for.
Honorable mention should be Kaleif Browder... kid spent years in jail without even a trail over the alleged theft of a backpack. He ended up so mentally traumatized when he was released, he ended up committing suicide.
and this is one of the main reasons we shouldnt sentence anyone to death.
Or allow someone to make an accusation of rape from 30 years prior with no evidence it wasn't consensual.
Also; I wouldn't say anyone. Technically reasonable doubt is supposed to exonerate someone (unless your name is Masterson then they suspend your right to not be illegally subject to double Jeopardy apparently) but it doesn't anymore. However if you do something that's 100% no doubt you did it and it's monstrous? No point in paying for that person to be in prison for 50 years. I'm not talking cases like these, I'm talking 100% have CCTV, DNA, Multiple witnesses, confession, guilty plea, etc.
and this is why the majority of rapes go unreported
even then
@@peterq1978 death is a part of life. So your argument is that a man can rape and murder 30x8 year olds with the parents knowing about it, one of the dads walked in during the intercourse, and there's video evidence and multiple victim testimonies; taxpayers should have to house, feed, clothe, and treat him like a human being for 50 years while he mentally and psychologically rots due to incarceration? I respectfully disagree. I don't condone capitol punishment, but I do believe every situation is unique and the punishment should fit the crime, but only if it is 100% no room for any doubt. E.G. Danny Masterson should be free. A judge subjected him to double Jeopardy. First jury was hung and that is supposed to mean innocent in this country. But a judge said "no I'm sure he's guilty so we are going to keep trying him until he's found guilty"
That's BS
But Dennis Raider? Head of a church group, installs security, and confesses to serial murder? 100% don't think we as taxpayers should be responsible for extending his life. At least put him on an island and make him survive.
Wrongful convictions also allow a criminal to get away with their crime.
Jon Burge got less than 5 years in prison. I wonder what confessions Jon Burge would have beaten out of Jon Burge.đź
Canât help but notice a commonality with many of these wrongly convicted people. I am so tired.
You will also notice a commonality of those rightfully convicted.
đź I fight for my freedom like they did and I wouldn't stand there and take it I fight all the way bye
I could have been one of these. That crap scares me.
I will definitely tell you what I would do. Get a new lawyer (since the first one didn't do a good job) and I would sue for all the years that was taken from me because I was innocent.
$850,000 is nowhere near enough for all that time in prison.
Sadly this is why innocent people take plea deals
12 ppl who are suppose to seriously determine if someone is innocent or guilty with bias no wonder 1/20 ppl are wrongfully convicted
The West Memphis 3 is another interesting tale of wrongful conviction
Could you please do one on wrongful executions?
Dont understand how one guy got 12 million and another got 850 thousand for almost the same amount of time wrongfully convicted.
How is someone released from jail on their own recognizance? ROR is a promise to return to court unless she had a court date later or was supposed to report back to the jail i dont get how she could be released on recognizance
How many innocent people are sitting in prison
It could potentially be 5-10 percent of all people in prison
â@@timothyskidmore1554probably more like 40 to 50 percent.
Thats just f,ed up
There is no amount of money that can compensate for spending decades in prison. I canât understand why DAs/cops would prosecute people they know are innocent. Thatâs why people in those professions shouldnât be rewarded for arrests or convictions. Am I too naive?
I'd pass the buck and blame my own dad, it'd be believable since he's already been in prison before for child abuse and hitting his now ex-girlfriend.
How about the fairbanks four
This is why I don't support the death penalty.
Definitely against mass shootings but i can see them attacking the same system that took their life
I wonder how many innocent people have been executedâŠ
Jacob Chansley
So sad THE PPLE s life has been ruined so in a sense there still in prison. No1 gives then chances 2 get there life back 2gether.
"It wasn't till 2011 after spending 95 years in prison"
95 years wow!
I know America uses different metric than here in Europe but... wow!
I thought it was a total for the people who were accused.
Youve only talked about one person receiving money from the state i hope all these people got big money
16:37 in the case of Keith Allen Harward, Mike says, âThe _persecutionâs_ case an Harwardâs conviction âŠâ
Was that an incorrect pronunciation or a correct characterization?
9:29
False imprisonment is because Layers [ judges are lawyers too now ] changed our "Justice System" with their " Legal System ". Add to that Prosecutors steadily changed the way a trial is handled giving the State more control , and elimination of facts that exonerate defendants .
Expl: original order of procedure : Prosecution states the State's case against the defendant . Then the Defense states their basis of innocence . Followed by the State presenting evidence & witnesses .defense gets to question witnesses as the State brings them to the chair. Then the defense present's their evidence & witnesses where the State cross questions witnesses as they are introduced . Lastly the State has their Closing Statements followed by the defense gives their closing statements before it to to Jury decision . Now the State has the advantage of being 1st & last heard which has been proven to influence juries commonly short attention spans .
Don't forget Cameron Todd Willingham. He was executed for a crime never committed: 3 counts of murder by arson.
They bought all kind of stuff with bad checks and made my brother's friend which was my neighbors boyfriend beleive it was my brother and got him to testify against him. So some get off and some have to just do the time because Noone will believe someone with multiple people saying the same thing against them. They all had this setup and already Knew the story they were going to tell
This list is terrifying...
Right?
Colin Campbell Ross should be on this list.
ravencwal rlz bro!
Yay
Maybe you didn't hear about the 14-year-old black boy in South Carolina that was accused of rape and murder and was given the electric chair several years after his death they found he was innocent via DNA
In England 1953 Derek Bentley 19 and Chris craig 16 committed an armed robbery and fled during the pursuit on foot a police officer was shot and killed . Bentley despite not having fired a shot was convicted of murder the actual shots were fire d by Craig . Under UK law at the time anyone under 18 was exempt from the death sentence Craig instead was handed a life sentence meanwhile Bentley was executed by hanging . During the chase Bentley was heard to have said " Let him have it Chris " . Bentley was eventually given a posthumous pardon . There's a movie on the subject named Let Him Have It .
First here we litty
Normally on list subjects like this itâs just 25 not top or anything like that.
You can go in swinging or accept that it's a list of 25 that is among all the others on this channel, brotherlover.
Call it "top 25 reasons why you can't trust many strangers you meet" (because presumably at least 25 people out there did not get caught)
Sometimes we have specific rankings and other times we don't.
It's important that we get AI to investigate and see most objectively.
I know some others who have been set free after being found innocent, but they can never get that time back.
Although, we need better AI, it seems to be just as flawed as humans, which shouldn't be, if done correctly...What a terrible waste of metals!!!!
Yay yay yay
for DNA !
I inocent and i was broken apart for bread.
Notice how many of these happened in Illinois (especially Chicago), California, and NYC....
Trumpâs will be justified.
With Trumpâs famous words â Lock Him Up! â
DNA testing 40 years ago ?
Sigh
'Rubbish dump" and "Flat" --- are you from America?? lol
No but I've visited
ignore the evedence, thats the american way
First
Central Park 5 better not be on this list. They're as guilty as OJ is.
TRUMP
Exactly
He would probably brag about getting special treatment or for how good his cell was
Very nicely done. I would have gone with Randall Dale Adams though. He was arrested and sentenced to death in 1976 for the murder of a Dallas police officer. The real murderer accused Adams of the murder, telling police that Adams told him facts about the case that only the murderer would know. There were many inconsistencies in the prosecution's case, but they were overlooked. However, in 1988, a film called The Thin Blue Line cast doubts on Adams' guilt. One other important aspect was the involvement of Dr. James Grigson, known better as Dr. Death, because he certified many people who were criminally insane as fit to stand trial. (On another case, Grigson was accused of shocking a defendant with an electrical cord and when that defendant recoiled from the shock, certified him as being fit to stand trial.). Grigson stated that Adams was "obviously lying" about things.
If it was me that, that cop put me away at least now it would be worth it being put away â°ïžđȘŠđ!!!
