Missouri woman's murder conviction tossed after 43 years. Her lawyers say a police officer did it

[iku]

This discussion will be on Wrongful conviction/incarceration. I provided one example. The question is, what is one year of your life worth $$
Do you believe there should be monetary compensation that is the same for all states? Some states pay very little, some much more. No sate pays enough.


Judge Ryan Horsman ruled late Friday that Sandra Hemme, who has spent 43 years behind bars, had established evidence of actual innocence and must be freed within 30 days unless prosecutors retry her. He said her trial counsel was ineffective and prosecutors failed to disclose evidence that would have helped her.

Her attorneys say this is the longest time a women has been been incarcerated for a wrongful conviction. They filed a motion seeking her immediate release.

Missouri woman's murder conviction tossed after 43 years. Her lawyers say a police officer did it

A judge has overturned the conviction of a Missouri woman who was a psychiatric patient when she incriminated herself in a 1980 killing that her attorneys argue was actually committed by a now-discredited police officer. Judge Ryan Horsman ruled late Friday that Sandra Hemme, who has spent 43...

Just because someone is innocent doesn't make the taxpayers responsible to pay a dime to them.

There has to be actual wrongdoing proven, and that will be very difficult with the detectives and other involved in the case are retired or have even passed into their decedencies.

Besides a wrongful conviction that should have never happened, the initial suspect was clearly involved in the crime, had the dead womans posessions, no alibi, and used the dead womans credit card.

But he was a cop, and it was all covered up.

Our police officers are hard working and do not deserve the crap they get from liberal lawyers. Those convicted of murder should remain in prison, and not be released just because liberal lawyers claim there are technical reasons for their release. I'm sure this woman now thinks she won the lottery and will file a civil lawsuit.

Police violate the constitutional rights of American citizens. So they deserve what they get.

That being the case abolish all police departments, no law enforcement at all, let citizens fend for themselves. LOL

No, the solution is reform the justice system and set national standards for policing.

If it ain't broke, don't fix it. "Shoot first and ask questions later" has worked well for police departments in America for over 200 years.

There absolutely was.

She should collect BILLIONS, and EVERYONE responsible for railroading her should hang.

And I posted this last week.

Innocent woman spent 43 years in prison

43 years locked up based solely on a fairy tale "confession" the police got while she was in a mental hospital, and drugged to the gills. Notably, the ACTUAL killer was...a cop...

Another case where it looks like law enforcement framed an innocent person to cover for the crimes of a fellow officer.

Then we have the current prosecutor arguing to keep her behind bars despite the fact a judge (and Missouri Supreme Court) said release her.

I could certainly understand her being bitter behind bars.

How did you come to the conclusion that she was framed?

By reading the article.

By reading the article.

The article doesn't say anything about her being framed.

They are just suggesting that some dead guy (who cannot defend himself) may have did it. And thier client only confessed because she is a loon.

It says nothing about anyone getting framed.
