An innocent man behind bars, a guilty one, Paul Manafort, already at home released; from a prison that has zero cases.

@nateman10 I know enough about the case to know without much of a doubt that there’s a good chance he’s innocent, why does he remain on death row if the actual prosecutors office that tried him says for a series of reasons he should be retried. Maybe you should actually look into the facts before going only on what you’ve seen on NBC News.
nateman10
ocean buoy He hasn’t even had his court case and they already convinced you that a child murderer should be released…by just telling you that he should and not giving any proof whatsoever. And you automatically believed it.
nateman10
So he hasn’t even had his case, and NBC is calling him wrongfully convicted? That is like calling someone who is innocent until proven guilty a “dirty rotten murderer”. They know what they are doing calling him innocent before he has had his case, as if NBC thinks they control our court system. Why is NBC trying to free a CHILD MURDERER?
nateman10
What makes him innocent? The fact that NBC told you, or the fact that that woman told you, that woman who didn’t even work there back when the case happened who claims she heard some stuff. Maybe that woman took the job in the first place to get this murder of a small child out of prison. Certainly nothing in this video explained why we wouldn’t believe the original court case where he confessed to murdering a little girl.

He confessed, you can look at him and can tell he is a murderer with his cold dead eyes.
