The Flawed Case of Jodi Parrack
Vložit
- čas přidán 2. 04. 2020
- When Jodi Parrack was found in the local graveyard in Constantine, Michigan, in 2007, the hunt for whoever did this began. Suspicious were rife in the small town, ultimately landing on the very man who suggested they look where she was found, Raymond McCann. After months of interrogations, the police were sure Raymond McCann was responsible. But, when Daniel Furlong emerges, the case would turn on its head.

They destroyed his whole life. He lost his job, family, reputation and lastly his freedom. Took 10 years of his life. I believe this man is owed millions of $
I couldn't agree more. There are many things thats bothers me. But injustice is maybe the number one. Happy 2021
He only got $40,000 what a shame
@@donerae8682 And that was probably taxed half. He needs to sue for millions
@@richardwolfe844 hopefully u get off papers soon
@@richardwolfe844 well you committed a armed robbery. You didn’t do “nothing” you aren’t a victim.i got in a bar fight and did 4 years. I’m not crying and I have never blamed any one but myself. Don’t do the crime if you can’t do the time. You are the exact reason you don’t do crimes with anyone else because you’d justify snitching on your codefendant lmao
made me extremely mad when that cop was like "no, i dont owe him an apology" like dude....you ruined his life and threw him in prison for over a year, you really do owe that innocent man an apology
For sexual assault and murdering of a child. Prisoners are humans as well
Cops are psychopaths.
dudes such a pos shit, stupid fucking pride
@Bryan-Michael Dungee obviously he deserved a more trusting wife
Yeah... screw that cop.. this is why people hate cops. If this were a just universe this cop would lose his pension and be facing jail time himself.
They interviewed over 1,000 people in this case in a town of 4,000, AND STILL failed to interview the real creep. Smfh. Such incompetence. Chief Laughingstock should've had HIS life and reputation ruined.
Can we just take a second to appreciate that the little girl not only escaped and then got that bastard convicted, but ended up solving the murder of another little girl?
She’s a hero!
I thought the same thing. She's a little bad ass
Totally!!!
Absolute boss! Hope all the bedr for her.
The cop that said he wouldn’t issue an apology died from cancer a year later. KARMA
makes me wonder if he had something to do with it and needed someone to blame it on.
good
Good he was a BAD cop.
Good cuz this dirt bag is burning in hell for making someone's life miserable. This is a case of cop lying just to put someone behind bars for his suspicions. This is abuse of power and he's getting Soul tortured in hell like he deserves.
@@patman0250 It's so disgusting. It's like they were more concerned with pinning the crime on SOMEONE than on actually serving justice
Wow. This is terrifying. They basically ruined his life with ZERO evidence.
It happens so often. The process is mental abuse.
This happens very often
just another day in law enforcement.
basically? they did
Yes this does happen way too much I’ll never understand why they just wanna close a case! No evidence no anything but ego and while the whole time the real criminals are out and about the sad part is they know this!
Immediately blaming the person who happened to suggest looking where you found her is just giving people reasons NOT to help, because heaven forbid they get something right and help so well that you find them!
THIS!! This is why ppl hesitate to help police. Bc they do this, even to their own. Now, I personally think ACAB, but damn.
@@jadeamodio82why would you think acab? That’s just beyond ignorant
Because police are allowed to lie when interviewing suspects..?all this b.s about how they have all this evidence, but they couldnt tell him,,,l would have lawyered up immediately. evidence@trgiun

I hope he filed a lawsuit, you can tell he’s being genuine and honest. This detective has no idea how to read a person
He did. They gave him 40K or something ridiculous like that.
@@ericalexander5890 40k? That's it? He should have gotten more. A lot more.
He just won a 14.5 million dollar lawsuit!
Right?? I've been deep into behavior and body language analysis the last few years and he is not showing any signs of deception. This is so frustrating.
@@effaroundfindoutYeah, I kept waiting for the signs of guilt. The standard Reid Technique was not working because he was really innocent, or he at least looked that way from the interrogations I saw. I’m so glad he didn’t fall for the bluffs. A guilty guy would not be laughing at how ludicrous all the baloney they were spewing at him was.
Almost nothing gets more under my skin than a shitty interrogator.
And this one is bottom-of-the-barrel.
He was terrible.
@@ayyubvernon1557 he’s definitely a laughing stock now, what a bum
I know you didn't mean to do it , it was an accident, I know you're a good guy 🙄
I was thinking the same thing.
@@smmacktalk The whole department isn't a laughing stock - it's actually a modern day example of how police work is NOT supposed to happen. Hearing those confirmed idiot so-called "detectives" try to force a false confession should be played for students in criminal justice courses to show how interrogations can lead to false confessions. Because police actually are trained to deceive when necessary but outright total lies based on no FACTS whatsoever can often lead to false confessions and other legal issues that can destroy a case.
His body language is clear, he is telling the truth. This is hard to watch, horrible detectives.
Very sad! The cop is lying his ass off.
Seriously, he's maintaining constant eye contact and he's not giving any tells.
Yep. Anyone that knows anything about body language can tell he’s innocent. As a detective they should have noticed that but they were more interested in “solving” the case than finding the truth. So pathetic. I wish those detectives could be charged with something but I’m sure they can’t and they will get to walk around with their stupid, low iq grins on their face.
I agree. I had a very hard time watching it myself, I felt so horrible for him. I was also horrified that t the police and the judicial system were able to convict him so easily and for so long for perjury. This could happen to anyone.
Everyone experts after they know the truth. You must be smarter than everyone else. I'm only human, I would have thought he did it. Now, I know I could be wrong.
Rewatching the playlist again for my millionth time… this one still ENRAGES me… I’m at work slamming things around…
It's like arguing with my father. I'm not asking you I'm telling you, always interrupting, and then surprised he doesn't understand anything in 20 years.
OMG. I wondered why (other than the obvious) that this interview was so triggering.
Do we have the same “father”?!
He voluntarily talked to the police and they destroyed his life. Don't talk to cops kids, lawyer up.
Fuckin right
So stupid for them to zone in on him just for a suggestion. That's why I never suggest anything. He literally said, ``has anyone looked over there,'' they looked over there, found her, and said, ``you did it.'' Wow. It was just a suggestion. Cemeteries are sort of park-like, some people like going to them, IDK, why not check? I have taken a little stroll thru a couple cemeteries in my life for no reason, just a nice day . . .it's not so weird, is it?!
Theyre snakes.
Actually fucking facts a lawyer would of solved this problem
YES 🙌
Probably the worst detectives I've seen on any if these shows
But you have seen them..
Agreed.
Yeah the county is tiny and never sees this kind of stuff. They're incompetent enough when it comes to petty crimes so doesn't surprise me how bad they fumbled this
Inbred...
Inspector gadget is more of a detective
He was SO respectful to the police even as they worked tirelessly to frame him. So sad
His mistake. They did not deserve any respect. They didn't care about evidence, they had a "gut feeling" and that was reason enough to absolutely destroy a man. Even worse, because they were focused on the wrong man a serial child killer walked free and other children were at risk of being killed. These men should lose their jobs, at the minimum. There has to be a point in society where we say there is NO EVIDENCE. That means you STOP.
This video was really hard to watch. That poor man. I can't imagine the helpless feeling and terror he went through. All he did was try to help find her and because he was a reserve he had access to cuffs he must have done it. Anyone can get cuffs! My heart breaks for him and I haven’t finished the video but I pray he's doing ok now 🙏 😔 ❤
For the first time watching one of Mike’s videos, I had to fast forward through much of the interviews, particularly the last one. Felt sick for this honest, pleading man.
"Constantine had a comparitavely high crime rate". Big surprise with the clowns passing for police around there.
They don't care about actually solving crimes, just getting a quick resolution
I came here to the comments to say that exact thing!
@@bec7080 same in fort collins Colorado, my dad got wrongly convicted of murder cause they found him smoking a few blocks away from the scene. Such an easy case for them since he had a few petty crimes on his record and mental health problems so he acted like a weirdo. But ofcourse no evidence past that, they just wanted someone to go down for it
Cops saying"there are lies here" there certainly is coming right out of cops dam mouths!!!!!!!
That hurts, I just passed as a police here in Constantine. Guess I’m a clown aswell 😩🤡😩🤡
“I’m the laughing stock of the police station”. Sorry if my truth is messing up your personal life. I’ll just go to prison for years & years so that you’ll be comfortable.
No there is no your/his/mine truth. He was speaking THE truth. Ray was speaking THE truth
Well, he did deserve to be the laughing stock, didn't he? Whiner.
Mich Ritch 😂😉You walked right into that one kid 😉😂
"Hey mate I'm really embarrassed. Just tell me what I want to hear so I can wipe this egg of my face. I'll back you up like always. I'm a police officer and I never lie."
Clang goes the cell door.
"Ha ha sucked in. See you in 20 years loser."
Cops, ya gotta love em.
YES! Exactly what I was thinking!! Like, wtf?! 🤦🏻♀️
it’s crazy how they were still trying to tie him to the crime after the other guy came forward and solely confessed, and both saying they didn’t know each other at all. I knew in that last interview that he was innocent. I hope he has moved forward enough to have a much better life, he deserves it after everything he went through.
Cops trying to fit a square peg in a round hole
Plus the whole being a coach, Raymond couched his son's 12yr old team, the other guy coached 8yr olds and the cops kept saying their teams might have played each other. Man I h8 cops.
What a traumatic thing for Raymond to go through. I hope he will heal fully from this and live to have a happy life.
Winning a $5M law suit should help.
The police never solved this... that little girl Mckenzie solved it
they had no intentions on solving this case outside of Ray being the guy.
@@jeanettec30 right
@@jeanettec30 Yup. Frigging cops. It's easier for them to frame an innocent man than to do the difficult detective work necessary to find the real culprit.
How many more little girls got killed by the real killer when the wrong guy was in prison ? They have no interest in finding the guy because they know who it is.
I live in branch county, just shy of a mile from St Joseph County. The cops are either corrupt or just don't give a shit. Another cold case (Brittany Shank) has yet to be solved. I as well as others have been trying to solve it on our own. So far I've found a phone belonging to ***** on the very road she was last seen running down before going missing. I also found an empty hole in the woods with a rusted shovel laying next to it. The closest area nearby to conceal a body and or murder someone. I had also found videos of him walking through the woods. And he just so happened to have conflict of interest. According to a source, Brittany had worked at a Marathon Gas Station that he had robbed and at that time she knew who he was.
Omg, Ray only got $40,000 in compensation for the abuse he suffered at the hands of law enforcement. That wouldn’t even cover his wages for the time he was incarcerated, let alone the suffering and loss of everything in his life?
only 40k? lol... Should have been at least 500k
He is suing for damages.
And what’s even more sad, the officers who did that to him don’t have to turn in their badge. They continue to get away with doing this to innocent lives you can’t fix a f up that bug with any amount
He needs a good new york lawyer to sue the pathetic ex cop who wouldnt apologize and the joker cop who said he was the laughing stock of his station...for 5mil
@@ludwigvonn9889 that was there point lol, that’s why they said he only got $40k even after they ruined his life. But yeah, should have been more than $500k too/:
the thing that gets me you tell them the truth over and over and they keep saying to you tell me the truth. all they want is to get you to admit it by pressuring you to confess. so they don’t have to do their job by looking for evidence to who really did it.
I live in a town of 700 people I don't know most of them it's so frustrating that even after they caught the horrible man who killed that poor little girl they still tried to make a connection between them this is so upsetting not only was that girls family destroyed but so was Raymond's life and still is hope he finds peace in his life
They wanted to connect them because the cops invented evidence and faked videos footage during Raymond's perjury trial, so they were trying to make a connection to cover their crimes.
Repeat after me: " I don't answer questions without my lawyer present."
And even then don't answer. They were obviously hoping to make a case against him, so why make their job any easier. Ask if you are being charged, and if not ask if you are free to leave.
LAWYER UP!
This! Always this!
Yes, lawyer up, but being stern with police does not end well (for poor people), as far as I've seen. Also, if they want to pin it on you, it will ALMOST CERTAINLY stick, and you will be convicted of the crime. It truly, is not about the guilty person being convicted and punished for their actions.
I been waiting for him to get up and tell them leave me alone and do your fucking jobs. Then just leave. Completely unjustified what happened to him
I hope this guy sued the dept for ruining his life..
He did. And only got $40,000.
@@gaaraxnaru that's upsetting. Years of harassment based on zero empirical evidence and a false conviction, he deserved more.
Cam Mackay he plead No Contest. I’m surprised he got any money in the suit. He was a suspect and it sucks what they did to him, but he took a plea on the charge.
@@jholl78 what is tbh
@@jholl78 ok ,right on
I cannot believe his family bailed on him so quickly and even after he was found innocent. What in the f kind of family is that
It's terrifying how easily this could happen.
Wow, the fact that the Ex Police Chief just shows zero guilt for likely knowingly convicting an innocent man and ruining his life for YEARS is infuriating. Stuff like that makes my blood absolutely boil
I REALLY hope this fool will get wrongfully imprisoned one day and see how it feels. Meh. I'll protest to keep him in there.
You'd think that Raymond McCann would have a nice, fat lawsuit lined up after all of this.
Vespairr ATTORNEY OR LAWYER! Once you’ve answered the questions and cooperated, yet it still obvious they’re completely laser focused on you and aren’t being open minded regarding looking at other theories. Yes it’s time to say those magical words, I want a LAWYER please. It made me literally sick as they went on because I could feel that he was innocent.
@Ben Siener No it isn't over. His life is ruined, his name is tarnished until the day he dies.
This triggered me too. Horrible.
This is why even when you’re innocent GET A LAWYER AND DON’T TALK TO COPS!!!!!
I guess he felt that being totally innocent he wouldn't need any council. I probably wouldn't get a Lawyer either, dumb move considering this, it's just that it would be the last thing on my mind if i didn't do something.
@@mariestreeting9145 That's what most people think, "If I'm innocent, I'll just talk to them and clear my name". The only thing is, they're after convictions and confessions and not necessarily the truth (not all of them, of course, but likely most). A lot of innocent people have been convicted and have confessed to things they didn't do. It's the tactics they use that coerce false confessions. Nobody thinks they'd confess to something they didn't do, but it happens all the time. If they get a confession, they get a conviction. Anyway, if you ever are questioned, exercise your Miranda right to remain silent and immediately ask for an attorney. Don't say anything without the attorney present. Even with an attorney, I'd probably still remain silent. They can't do anything with that. And, if they're not charging you, you are always free to leave. So, I'd leave.
*ESPECIALLY* when you're innocent.
ESPECIALLY when you're INNOCENT! :D
@@nicklibby3784 I agree. Plea deals are a top reason that some innocents confess to crimes. I just wouldn't say anything. That frustrates their tactics and leaves them nothing to work with or twist. I also would not consent to a lie detector test.
That detective should of been put in prison for ruining this man’s life.
*This should be turned into a film*
Should be a mandatory minimum of $1 million a year you're falsely imprisoned with a minimum of $1 million for anything this big.
And it should come off cops/prosecutors salaries...
@@cl1cka the cops and prosecutors should be in prison. All their assets should be sold and all their savings and whats been put towards their pension should be put towards the pay towards the falsely improsoned victim.
@@abccanada6248 They'd start moaning about how they're afraid to do their job, but they obviously aren't doing their job if they're pushing to put an innocent man in jail.
He should file a suit against the cops. They are totally incompetent!
In Texas, for someone exonerated, it's a 1.6M lump plus ~80k per year of incarceration.
This is why even innocent people, should talk to the police with their lawyer present.
If you don’t want to look guilty just remain silent until trial
@@Omni-Blast if he had asked for an attorney at the beginning none of this would of happened
Right!! Sad thing is u could have a idea that could help the case but u can't say shit...I'll die b4 I talk to cops.
The idea that getting a lawyer makes you guilty/seem guilty is pure propaganda tbh
NO talking =No perjury charge.
This is horrible. So horrible. That man was villainised, targeted and jailed for 20 months for something he didn’t do. He suffered so mentally and lost time he will never get back. To put him through that is one thing but then to show no remorse or apology after he is vindicated makes it even worse. I’m so so sorry for him.
Ironically, he was the only righteous Cop in the room during those interrogations. FYI in 2023 he was fully exonerated and awarded 14.3 million from the state.
The interrogators said that Ray wasn’t a good liar.... no shit, that’s because he was telling the truth! 😔
That is a great point!
Anybody is going to sound nervous when they're being interrogated. It's uncomfortable to be accused of things
@@frankcooke1692 And deprived of food, water and sleep. They often will say what the detective wants to hear to get him to shut the hell up

He deserves millions upon millions for this. More importantly, they deserve the punishment of having to pay it.
Trying to force an innocent person to confess to something they didn't do, I actually feel sick watching this.
it just shows you that any of us can end up in this situation.
Lazy police work. We think it’s this guy so let’s badger him until we can get something out of him
You must not watch that many of these crime shows
Yeah, you can feel his frustration and stress. I bet Ray felt sick to his stomach too.
I lived in Constantine and this event is still something people generally don't like to talk about. Some people thought it could have been a trucker driving through and is largely why the township voted to have a bypass go around the town.
How bloody awful. I can't imagine the pain and unbearable grief. It's just absolutely mind numbing, having to go through that for anyone. I feel very very sad and disgusted. I'm sure as HUMAN BEINGS, we're not supposed to suffer like this!!!!😪😪😫
Have seen enough JCS to see that this guy is not guilty. Poor him, it's hard to watch.

Sorry to ask.What is jsc?Cheers in advance.
@@mangusta800 its a guy who can't swim. His name is Jim
haha thats funny @Efeu me too, thats how i based my opinion on the interview, gotta love jcs. they need to do somemore vids, i dnt see them often anymore
100% agree. The fact the he gets so pissed off and never changes his story says it all.
“I’m the laughing stock of this whole department”.
Boy do I have some news for you.
This is exactly why you should never voluntarily talk to police.
The Ex Chief that said, They don't owe a wrongly accused man an apology or anything else, is just as evil as the murderer. How dare they ruin a man's life on purpose! I would hate to be in his shoes when karma hits or he is standing before God on judgement day!
"this poor girl was murdered! lets spend five years harassing a man we have no evidence for instead of putting effort in finding the culprit, allowing them to attack again!"
Cops taking the easy way out... we can make this shit stick ... they thought he’d cave if they keep bullying him! Lawyers people call you a lawyer.
Now with this coronavirus shit, they can actually utilize their police powers to solve some of the unsolved rape and murder cases that get put aside because they wanted to prove a guy had a personal use amount of drugs on him. Maybe they'll learn, but it's not likely. It takes a certain type of person to be a cop, or judge, or prosecutor. Unless they are corrupt, ALL of these people DO believe that it is their RIGHT to force their will onto other people. I know people say there are good cops, and that may be true, but find me ONE that DOESN"T believe that, and I'll give you a cookie!
Seems like cops knew what happened and just had to try to find someone to pin it on. Otherwise it makes no sense. Any junior detective would have known from that first interview that he didn't do it. Seems like some people in that town like to rape kids, and seems like they might wear badges to work.
You.are right, I been arrested twice for drug charges and delt with prosecutors, there worst than used car salesmen, and the cops! I still get pulled over all the time for bullshit reasons and they try to bully me cuz I got a possession charge 7 YEARS AGO, go find some real crimials
With a population that small, they could have found the guy with a DNA sweep in no time.
If I were Raymond, I'd sue the hell out of the justice system in that town.
Mike, you say the stuff most people are thinking! Love listening to your take on these terrible cases
People hate to know how wrong they are. Would much rather still believe that he is guilty rather than accept they were wrong. It’s easier to continue accusing someone rather than to apologize for accusing them of something so heinous.
Just because he’s out of prison doesn’t mean his life isn’t ruined. He lost everything...at the hands of the investigators.
Did he get compensated?
Cory Fuqua that’s crazy he should have sued the piss out of that city.
And it's just pure luck he wasn't murdered in prison because they thought he was a child murdered
And I'm sure they lost NO sleep after ruining his life over speculation...
Dude's probably got PTSD from what he endured...no amount of money he wins can erase those memories.
The egos on these guys. Unbelievable. Can’t even apologize for ruining a mans life.
what's your take on, .. like .. would the pd salvage some honor if they admitted to have been wrong?...
Marc Dufresne yes I think taking responsibility for mistakes made and actually feeling regret would be more honorable.

@@punkybrewstar83 I say this as someone whose family is mostly law enforcement and thus knows a ton of law enforcement.
The biggest mistake folks make with police is thinking the majority are either the saints and bastions of justice like freaking Superman, or all complete POS scumbags who just wanna crack skulls and use authority to persecute people.
Most cops are just folks doing a job. It's like any job really, there's some folks who really want to do it right and get things done as best as possible, and a LOT of folks who just want their paycheck, and then a few assholes.
The problem is with police work, like in this case, someone just doing it for the paycheck, looking for the easiest solution to get their job 'finished' costs people their lives.
It's not malevolence (in MOST cases) it's indifference .
@@TonySamedi Indifference and refusal to admit your mistake or budge your position is malevolent if it destroys people's lives. Seen it my whole life. On a personal note, 28 December last year I was assaulted with a sledgehammer by a man called Richard Mills. Richard Mills and Richard Walker had stolen my grandmother's keys from her rental and left the site unsecure with wide open windows. After a day of ignored calls, I loaded the painting shit in my car, and drove to their house. I put plaster on Richies car because I could hear him laughing at me inside. He came out, dragged me inside, and assaulted me. The strike to my forehead gave me a concussion, and I had a large, obvious bump on my head. I also said upon the police arrival that Richie had struck me with the sledgehammer. The white, male police officers, Joseph Le Fleming Burrow and Mitchell Cattell, from the Mount Wellington NZ police, arrested me for willful damage, and put me in handcuffs, and threatened me in the car on the way to the station because I was nauseous, forcing me to swallow my own vomit. I didn't get any medical assistance for 3 hours. Nothing happened to white, male, Richard Mills. When I finally got the disclosure, Joseph Le Fleming Burrows had written that I said I hurt my head on the car. Laziness or not, it is pure evil.
Exactly what I've been thinking! No wonder thier crime rate is completely out of control! Idiots whom I would guess are part of the high crime rate!
Rest eternally Jodi. All these years later, ur family still hold it down for you & your story is a cautionary tale thats helped many and brought tears to all with an ounce of a heart
i remember seeing this case on truecrimedaily years ago, and god damn i was so pissed off, listening to this case again im even more pissed off. ive heard its very common or innocent people to raise their voices and get mad when being accused of murder, so for them to say it was "suspicious" was maddening, i hope to god raymond mccann finds happiness and lives a good life. wha he went through was so undeserved, even after being proven innocent, the treatment he got was so incredibly saddening. im rambling but idc im just still pissed off at the incompetency and with the mob mentality that lives in that town
Never ever ever talk to the police without an attorney.
"he didn't even want to talk to us without an attorney so he must be guilty" is something I saw in another video
That happens a lot. People think you're guilty if you don't talk to officers by yourself and/or get a lawyer. It's called being smart because this crap can and does happen all the time!

When the detective tells you they want to help you, help yourself and get an attorney.
Yeah you can always be 100% sure that they only got you there to help themselves. A police interview is only about 1 thing, them gathering evidence to use against you. People think the police want to hear your story if you are innocent, they don't. You saying you're innocent don't count for shit in their eyes. In fact if you explain why you are innocent all they will be looking for is the slightest discrepancy they can use to twist the facts to make it look like you're lying, even if you are telling the truth. Even if they do genuinely think you're innocent they will still look for a way to prove you guilty. Otherwise why else would they have you there for? Horrible horrible people, they try to make out like they're all about helping and saving lives, but you know there's something very wrong about that when they achieve it by ruining others. Its all just smoke and mirrors designed to make them appear as hero's so the masses will accept them as their protectors. There is much power in that.
I couldn't agree more with you! Perfectly said
Poor bastard. Those cops took everything from him to protect their egos. And then the one that said he didn’t feel like he owed him an apology. Disgusting.
If you are genuinely innocent then its even more necessary to shut up as you will just be giving the cops and prosecutor the details of what your defence would be if you did go to court. Then they'd have months to work on the best course to dispute your version of events. its no different to a war, you wouldn't tell your enemy details of your strategy months in advance and still expect to win.
Im good friends w her bro Brian. They still do baloon releases every year & spread awareness. Rest in Paradise forever, Little Jodi
That interrogation had all the hallmarks of someone telling the truth. The anger, the frustration, the inability to even conceive of what it was, exactly, these "detectives" wanted to know...my god. I hope this poor guy got a lawyer, and I hope he is given millions for everything these idiots took from him.
The second worse thing after an actual crime is accusing an innocent man of it.
I like that.
@@thomasstump5279 it is a crime to accuse an inoccent men
@The Ghost of Eric Lynch ~~~

I don't think that's the second worse thing, both are relatively on par in terms of egregiousness. While incarcerated, innocent people they get abused in prison, some end up dying there. Plus even after some of the wrongfully convicted are finally vindicated and released (in many cases homeless and penniless), many of them still deal with the lost of public trust, resources, family, time, the stigma of the conviction of their record, etc.
And speaking of that conviction, many courts don't automatically remove it or amend it on your official record. Many still have to drudge up legal resources and go to court to legally get it removed. So try applying for anything from public assistance to jobs to housing, etc. with that still showing up on your record. If your are literally walking around with the papers showing you have been legally absolved from the crime, your life is still f**ked.
They should review every case those detectives were involved in. Guarantee they railroaded others.
And being a reserve officer, he likely aided them in doing the same to others. Karma is a comedian
I've noticed in so many of these videos that people rarely, almost never, ask for a lawyer... innocent or guilty, they never ask for a lawyer!
Sadly they try to convince people that only guilty people get a lawyer, another scumbag tactic
Lawyers costs a lot and only if you're legally arrested you'll, upon demand, be provided with one free of charge. And that's just a formality. They all work together, the whole system is against you and they don't care about providing you a genuine defense but they'll try to convince you to enter a plea. It's what usually happens. This guy lost his job, his entire family abandoned him, he was left all alone. You think he had money for a lawyer? They know he can't defend himself, this is why they do it so they can close the case and get a fat paycheck. It's their tactics, doesn't matter if you're guilty or not. All US prisons are private, it's the US dirty little secret...

A few words: "I want a lawyer." There is no amount of talking yourself out of it if the cops really think it is you.
And if you’re being interrogated they think it’s you.
He was a cop
Yes dmn right +, they have the right to judge you for lawyering up n not spe aking,well now we completely see n understnd why

@@strategic1710 yes or they just wish to pin the crime on someone,no mtter if they're innocent or not They just don't care Wicked
What they got him on was something he said the day of the incident and was not in interrogation, it was just om a report. And then 6yrs later when asked he left out (forgot) a few details. So even if he'd lawyered up they could have likely got him. The cops literally invented evidence to convict him, that was proved during his lawsuit against the cops.
I really love the work you do for all these victims
It's a shame that Ray isn't allowed to violently avenge himself against those detectives. He should be allowed to do to them what those inmates did to him in prison.
I hate those interviews.
"You did it!"
"What evidence do you have?"
"You tell us!"
"I was at home."
"No you weren't!"
"Where was I then?"
"YoU TeLl Us!"
They didn't even try to make any sort of connection.
the 'dossier technique'
The cops care more about convicting someone then convicting the actual perpetrator...
When he stood up & started freaking out...I said: ”THAT’S what I would have done if I KNEW I didn't do something that they were trying to pin on me!!” If he had a lot of money to fight the case (a GOOD defense attorney) he probably never would have went in for anything. Poor guy!! The ”save my face” pal owes him a huge apology!! I wonder if he ever got one.

That guy deserves millions for what he went through being accused by everyone labeled a child killer. Wow.
No, he doesn't, "deserve" anything. The police charged him with perjury even though he told the truth. He should be paid a large amount of money so he can try to start his life again. What he deserves is JUSTICE. Those police were the ones committing perjury, their lies destroyed a man's life and if the legal system can jail a man on false charges then the officers should be in prison in Gen Pop, so they can experience what happens to dirty cops in prison.
He got $40,000.

Seems we are heading that way too, which is sad, idiotic, and overall just a horrible idea. We need to be tougher on Crime! Not easier.
That man saying hes still proud he put an innocent man in prison and ruined his life is disgusting. They had a chance to someehat redeem themselves but chose to just assert how ignorant they are..shameful
So horrible. Jody's mother saying the McCanns were like family. NOPE! She did not care about the injustice. Must have enjoyed feeling "right"
Trying to save face. He put his reputation above an innocent man's life.
@Denis Litvinov they are lazy and they want to do their jobs? Lol. This is absolutely a case of cops being dicks. They are not always dicks. When I was a teenager, I was arrested for curfew with weed on me. That cop could have ruined my future by charging me with posession. He didn't and I was able to get student loans and create a good life for myself. Please stop generalizing. If I said all (insert group here) were the same, you would absolutely not agree with my statement.
I watched a documentary series on people on death row. I was totally shocked at the detectives one-track minds. You’d learn about these people and their crimes, and really get a good understanding of how this human being had come to be where they were. Some were clearly accidents, wrong place/wrong time with a shitty friend or acquaintance, honestly had been raised not to know much better, or had mitigating factors (like mountains of evidence of sexual abuse before one kid snapped and killed his abuser).
These detectives ALL discounted any and all evidence or testimony (from very credible witnesses, too) in the suspect’s favor, while basically (and sometimes literally!) falsifying or twisting evidence- *because they’re a bad guy.* They called the people “pure evil” basically no matter what. There’s no gray area, everyone’s just evil or not evil... and who cares what happens to the “evil” ones? (And theyre always evil according to the detectives, of course).
I can understand why it might be necessary in that job to not second guess yourself or let yourself see any humanity in a suspect, but when they’re proven innocent after the facfrsor got extremely unfair deals and you still say you don’t regret ANYTHING? That freaks me out.
@@aquanaut4life721 One weed charge prevents you from getting student loans, ever. That one act of kindness allowed me to go to and graduate college.

If you're guilty, you need a lawyer, if you're innocent, you need a lawyer before they ask you anything.

Same reason I don't believe in the death penalty, can't fix that with a cheque once you've discovered your mistake, 🤝
It's supposed to be about 4% of the people on death row, I would at least double that number for US-prisons in general.
He may have just suggested the cemetery as it is a small town and its a place where you could take a child at night and do stuff. Good man though for not buckling under police pressure to confess.
The cop saying that he’s a laughingstock because he’s been standing up for the suspect, and “oh please sir, fess up so that my reputation doesn’t stay as me being a laughingstock???” Is so cringe and so lame!!! You have NOTHING better in your arsenal??? That’s such an embarrassing tactic! 😂😂😂

Literally while lying.

@@ArtFiendz People often feel that talking without a lawyer somehow helps show their innocence. Like they have nothing to hide.
Ya that pissed me off. It’s crazy they get so stuck on their theory they just pushed one way (which was clearly wrong).
My thoughts during the interview, If this guy is guilty, he's the best actor I've ever seen.
LESismore seriously. Never waivers, never shows signs of being defensive. Never shakes his head in opposition to his yes or no answers. Instantly argues to the opposite of what they’re accusing him of without hesitation, because he doesn’t need to think of a lie. If he’s guilty he fooled me.
Yeah, I'm a good judge of character. This man is completely harmless and innocent.
Phew, I’m a pretty bad judge of character, and hate when I can’t tell when someone is lying or untrustworthy. This guy seems innocent to me, and I was wondering what other people’s instincts were telling them 😅

@eatmywords While the cops or detectives were interrogating him I was getting very angry because it was so obvious they just wanted to be able to say they got the killer. They knew they had nothing but kept at it. Part of it, a big part, was performance on their part, since it was being filmed and all. They wanted to seem cool and competent and all that jazz. Assholes need to lose THEIR jobs and families and freedom for what they did to this poor guy. And what they did The the victim's mother as well
They convinced themselves he was the killer and were reaching. Clearly had no evidence and were hoping to trick him into confessing.
I feel so incredibly bad for Ray. Him sitting there in that first interview being told he did it, over and over, you can see the breath leave his body out of sadness, fear and frustration. Poor guy lost his whole life because the police were too lazy to find another suspect. Absolutely heartbreaking to watch.
A total miscarriage of justice and sickening lack of compensation for an innocent man. :(
The cop died of cancer
@@husk1919 The detective? If so good.
Stop talking and ask for a lawyer.
So many stories on this channel and others show that most false convictions result from police laziness.
Interigators should be forced to watch every JCS back to back. From what ive learned, He was leaning forward most of the time, raised his voice and was visibally frustrated, he maintains eye contact, and his body language showed no tell tail signs he was lying, he didnt look away, his shoulders remained slouched and even, he nodded his head consistent to his answers. Unbeleivable!
I cant believe the egos at work during the interrogations! It should not be legal to show that kind of bias and tunnel vision. Very unprofessional!!!

Cops can literally NEVER ADMIT WHEN THEY ARE WRONG.
I know of one who did. She said it was the time when she "thought" she was wrong, but ended up being right and it was the "thinking she was wrong" that ended up being the "actual wrong".
Sad but true. They never admit it and they are never held to account. That's usually the case when it comes to police violence and also in cases like this and even if they do bad stuff like this, they still wonder why some people just don't like or trust them. What a mystery...
Watch the innocence project on Netflix. You are 100% correct! They don't even apologize when they ruin a person's life. They think they're so damned perfect and everyone else is a criminal
That cop is a pile of shit no sympathy no sorry makes me think he was a dirty cop
Cops and the government will NEVER admit when they are wrong.
Never ever speak a word until the Lawyer is there. NO EXCEPTIONS. NO EXCEPTIONS. NO NO NO EXCEPTIONS.
I couldn't live with myself accusing and putting someone in prison with no evidence. This makes me never want to assist in a search for a missing person.
There is be nothing more terrifying than a cop who tells you “I’m trying to help you”.
Or "listen am the only one trying help you here' please don't fall for it.
Absolutely correct - when these words come out thier mouth if you dont have a lawyer, get one. If you do have one, upgrade.

Well said Mike. Your closing was priceless.
What I find frightening is they’d rather put anyone in jail for this horrible crime and the real killer is still on the loose.
Dude needs to sue the crap outta everyone involved in railroading him.
When @7:57 Bad Cop said “I’m a laughing stock around here.” I said out loud: “This ain’t about you, you little baby!” He botched the case, he SHOULD be the laughing stock.
It would have been so good if that guy had fired back "how are you going to look if you convict the wrong man on zero evidence only to find the real killer months down the road?"
He was the only one left on the lawsuit, which ruled against him. He’s officially a laughing stock now.
I hope those detectives who put an innocent man in jail face some repercussions
I never understand why people don’t get lawyers under these circumstances. Even if the person is guilty, they deserve to be represented by counsel. When these cops stated that they weren’t lying to him was a lie. If they had any real evidence, he would of been charged long ago. Confessing to a crime is not necessary for an arrest and conviction!
