Joy Reid Instagram – The US criminal “justice” system is almost scientifically designed to incarcerate Black people. The 13th amendment loophole is a powerful motive, as is plain old racism and racial bias. This injustice is as unsurprising as it is unbearable. Free these men! . Repost from @redactedhistory_ • Terence Jerome Richardson and Ferrone Claiborne (also known as The Waverly 2), two innocent men who have spent over 25 years behind bars despite being found not guilty of murdering a police officer. ——— Recently, three key pieces of exculpatory evidence that were never turned over to Petitioner’s counsel during the course of Petitioner’s proceedings in State Court have come to light, including (1) a handwritten statement of an eyewitness to the scene of the crime, (2) a photo array identification procedure conducted by state investigators in which the eyewitness identified another suspect as the “man with dreadlocks,” and (3) an anonymous message on the State police answering machine on April 30, 1998 with a tip that identified that same suspect as a person involved, that they had dreads, and that they had since cut their dreads. I’m working with @lifeafterjustice to spread the word so we can get these guys FREE. Their evidentiary hearing starts MAY 22nd, 2024! ##uspresidents #ushistory #americanhistory #blackhistory #redactedhistory #podcast #historypodcast #ferroneclaiborne #terencerichardson #prisonsystem #prisonindustrialcomplex #schooltoprisonpipeline
