Can you imagine being one of these men, or one of their loved ones?
To go to your death with a guilty ruling while you were innocent. Too little too late seems so valid here.
Gov. Ron DeSantis issued a full pardon for all four members.

It's horrible. There were so many signs they were innocent, but people wanted to blame evil on someone. It's not right.

That is horrible. It has happened more than once that people were put in jail pleading innocent and were found guilty and then finding out the person was erally guilty. How does one get their life back after being found out they were innocent the whole time. What is terrible dying and then finding out the person was innocent the whole time and what was it worth killing them. Can you bring them back to their family? Can you imagine what their family is going through?

There are times people can only fix so much and they try but there are those set and will not budge as to thinking that the person could have been innocent and somebody looking like them was guility and still out there.

I always think of the moms, especially since I have a kid. To have your child swear their innocence, but die a "guilty man"... Only to really be innocent. As a mother they must have wanted to fix it more than life itself.

If only it were an isolated event. Sadly the prevalence of racism is still strong, and widely excused.

It was just not fair to him. Those who wrongfully punished deserved a long time compensation.

Very sad indeed. Justice denied and losing lives because of error in judgement

It is sad for them and their family members.
They have wasted their teenager yesars and any great memories with the family and friends. If some of them is just a newly father to their baby, they would not have the opportunity to hug their son or daughter. They also not able to pay their last visit to their parents. Even when they are being pardoned and released now, some of them may already passed away or in their older age.
There must be some problem when the judge finalised the case. Thing happened and cannot changed anymore.
