Oh, i am mad for him!
Can you imagine spending 35 years in prison, i mean that is a lifetime, in prison for a crime you did not commit! I mean, he must have so much faith and patience. All he could say was “I got God in my head” Wow!
I just read this story on Cnn.com James Bain, 54 who sentenced to life in prison after being convicted on charges of kidnapping, burglary and strong-arm rape when he was 19 years old. Bain was set free after DNA test showed he did not kidnap and rape the 9-year-old boy accused of, in 1974.
It is stories like this that make you stop and think, How many other innocent people are still out there serving life sentences for crimes that they did not commit. This man went to jail at 19, and now he is coming out at 54 years old. Very sad indeed. This is someone’s son, cousin, uncle who missed a lot of family moments serving time for something he didn’t do.
As reported on CNN, In 1974, the 9-year-old Lake Wales, Florida, victim had told police that his attacker had bushy sideburns and a mustache. After being shown five photos of potential suspects, the victim picked out one of Bain, the police report said.
So, some outstanding issues here, for one the real criminal here went free and innocent man served time. This boy who is now what 44 is going to have to re-live all that ordeal and am thinking maybe full of Guilt for causing someone else to be wrongfully punished, and the fact that he may never get real justice for the crime commited against him.
One thing is for sure, James Bain’s mother is in cloud 9 right now. I mean, this is the perfect christmas present for this entire family!
I wish all of the people affected here some peace.
