Awesome...

Thank u for helping David and not giving up on him and so many like him...good bless u

So kind from all of you and May Almighty Bless all of you happiness, joy , success ,peace, longevity and great health .. To David the light of God will remain with you for the rest of his life

I rarely comment on public forums like these BUT I simply could not resist saying THANK YOU to you Sir, as well as to all others who fought for justice in order to right this profound wrong. I am still crying tears of joy as I type this. You ARE indeed equally a hero. God Bless you.

Thank you for the update I’m so happy he got his wish to become a Father and is working in the community, David seems like a wonderful man. Do you have any advice for how people can offer more support to cases like David’s? It makes me so so sad to think of others wrongly convicted like him.

Totally agree.

You are so right 🙏🙏🙏💝

I was David's lawyer. Sadly Ernestine McCallum passed away yesterday after a long battle with cancer. She was remarkable woman of strength and love. She almost missed her son's exoneration because she was home baking every team member one of her special pound cakes and she didnt want to leave until they were ready. She made them for us a few times over the years we worked on David's case My wife asked her for the recipe and she said " Easy, one pound flour, one pound eggs, one pound sugar, one pound butter. Thats why its called pound cake." Who knew? May she rest in peace

@Oscar Michelen I am very sad to hear that, a remarkable woman, can you please pass on my condolences to him and his family, may God help them through this time, I maybe a stranger but I know what its like to lose a mother, and I wish David a blessed life and I hope he gets to be a father that he wishes to be 💛💛💛💛

Oscar Michelen It only warms my heart to think that she must’ve felt some degree of Joy during her final years spent with her son. Especially under the much better circumstances of being exonerated rather than being on parole! Her strength and beautiful soul made quite a difference to countless numbers of people. 🙏🏽 May her spirits rest peacefully. I pray for Her family to celebrate her life continuously. Blessings to you Mr. Michelen

❤️❤️❤️

Thank you for your comment! I hope you got a better job where you can be proud of yourself and what you do. Best wishes!

I was sitting here watching it wondering the exact same thing. Thank God he was exonerated and can live his life as a free man.

This is a heart breaking story, I hope God gives him a long and happy life!

hussein mohamed agreed

Agreed...but we should have NEVER surrendered our humanity, our human rights and dignity in the first place. It is going to be an uphill struggle to get ANY of those rights back!!

We need God back in our lives. The hopelessness of a generation will fall away

Agreed!

the central park 5 are yet another example of this mess

MANY......

Me too!!!

Yeah

More then I care to know about! Often wonder how these detectives sleep at night? Heart wrenching

I absolutely bawled like a baby when the judge overturned the verdict . The only thing I'm quite curious about that I dont believe was addressed is why Wiliiam STuckey lied about David being his accomplice ? I get that police threatened him into a false confession but why pick David McCallum , especially seeing as he was a friend ? Bizarre!

I just want to say I'm glad he's and I also want to say is when the cops smacked him and threatened to hit him with a chair to make a full statement he should be held accountable and who's his job or be prosecuted for putting this Innocent Man Behind bar but I hope he will read this and be proud that he's alive but Judgment Day is coming for him when the time comes he will have to deal with the Lord and he never forget

currupt cops in every country

@@markwall298 NYC in the 80s was really corrupt. it's really funny how "Murray's" sister said they were getting ready to make the arrest on him but he had "past shady dealings" with the police, and the whole case they were building was dropped and they picked up these 2 16 year old kids and squeezed the bullshit confessions out of them, without their parents or lawyer present, making them think that since they weren't the one that pulled the trigger if they just point the finger at the other guy they'll get off easy. "It's your only hope to not go to prison for life." You can just see from the confession tapes how intimidating that one cop, Boushay? Or whatever his name was, was sitting there. Definitely playing good cop bad cop.

@@Newjerseyblows NYC is still corrupt as is NYS gov't..

It’s deep mush

XpoSZioN 🙏🏽 Much like you, I was profoundly moved by this documentary. From the first introduction of David, I couldn’t help but to see his humbled and admirable characteristics. I’m just so appreciative for the folks who came together to fight on his behalf. Anyways, I enjoyed reading your comments. Your heartfelt words are delivered gracefully. Be Blessed 🙏🏽

Andrew Rodriguez 😊 aaaw that’s so sweet of you. I really appreciate your kind words and completely agree with your comment. Davids character is a true testament of someone who is a beautiful soul, that is just so genuine and was never once bitter. I too am appreciative of all the incredible people who supported him and made this happen. God Bless ❤️

Completely agree 100%. I was moved almost to tears by the whole thing. Just incredible... I hope David can go start a family like he wanted and start to build his life and his goals 🙏

JuJu Brown most definitely ❤️ I hope so too 🤗

Ok pro bono is ur favourite word lol

Q. If it's okay. Can I ask why the detective

Why should the detective

Why should the detective be investigated

@@AshL92 what god??? You mean your invisible friend in the sky???

That detective needs to be stripped of his badge and put in prison. No trial! He has had a life of luxury compared to David.

And they were minors. His mother was denied being there with him during questioning.

I don't disagree with your sentiment, but you must've missed the part when they explained that the cops and lawyers involved in this case were already dead before they even started.

tracishea they they should be allowed to sue the estate! We are tired of this crooked system and the discarding of people. Especially poor people

I agree. Anyone want to make a petition?

@@tracishea5053 of all cases they should be prosecuted

I couldn't take it. I was pulling for him so hard. I paused the video, looked it up and balled like a baby to see him free.

I almost cried when he made that call when his niece asked how he keeps strong.

There is so much injustices in America. The system is broken. Just so glad for David's resilience, positivity and persistence. What a strong individual. And thanks to his friends for being there for him. 🙏💚✌🌍🌎🌏

Maria da Luz America & the rest of the world! Every day waking up thinking "same again, another day same as every other" Painful.

Sinaida wochete I was just about to switch it off after his last parole board meeting result but I came to your comment and then watched it till the end. King David got his throne of freedom back

This keep happening, wrongfully convicted people

🙏🙏🙏🙏

Hi got 3.7 million

@@tonyca3338 Thats such an insult to the injustice this man suffered!

@@vanessababbage9409 I'm agree You Right, I believe that's part of the discrimination in the Justice system.

The judge and jury that found him guilty should have to pay this amount, otherwise the taxpayer dollars will pay for the injustice that this poor man has suffered. This happens way too often to black men and and a few white men unfortunately it also happens to women. Our justice system is appalling there are way too many liberal and Democrat judges unfortunately that decides how many years someone will spend in prison. Republican judges fall on the end of being more emotional I'm partial to the person that is on trial. This is statistically proven. This man should be compensated for every single year that he spent in prison unjustly. It truly makes me sick!

NO AMOUNT OF MONEY IS ENOUGH TO PAY FOR EVERYTHING ...HE WENT THROUGH ...IT CAN'T GIVE ALL HIS LOST YEARS..

Amen to that!!! We all take life and freedom for granted, hope he's at peace now, and hope his mother is doing well.

amen!

YES YES YES 🙌 AMEN TO THAT!!!

ozdorothyfan this is actually exactly what came to my mind.

Such a good point... putting things into perspective. It's crazy that one moment someone can be handcuffed and we form a negative opinion... then the next minute, they are free... and we would treat them differently... when they are the same person. I think it is sad that the parole board really didn't seem to get to speak to David. That some POS cops that just wanted to close a case no matter what, picked young kids they could bully and coerce. How is it that despite all that he has had taken away, or missed out on... I mean no relationships, or his own family. No real chance at education, no chance to dream, to work hard to be what he wanted to be... experiences, first loves, jobs, kids... the things we may take for granted... yet he has been positive this whole time...Not to mention the assumed violence in prison, especially being so young... Yes, we need to stop whining that we have to basically stay inside so that we don't die!

The Thinking Man I would love to meet him. Just talk on the phone with him. He is a wonderful Man..

Cigg butt man?

Thanks for your perspective, it helps others to see beyond the negative

I did the same and I am a 6 foot reasonably tough man.

layne doon There are So Many of these Cases😭

@@mariannehappiness2227..yes its awful to think there are so many cases that have come to light over the years,and innocent people who still remain unheard,

My father railroaded by ambitious prosecutor who got lots of publicity of my mothers suicide, declared my father a murderer in spite she tried every which way there was. He became a state Senator after the conviction because of the daily news and name recognition. He was assigned a blind attorney and family member stole the money for discovery that was raised in my dad's factory where he was a die sinker, and highly respected. Finally the Governor of Michigan, G. Mennen Williams gave my father the first pardon in 20 years. My father had been given ECT in prison, part of the testing they were doing then, my belief, and developed mental illness and could not adjust once released. The newspaper that prosecuted him during his trial continued to do so every year publish an article whether he should have been pardoned. It is cruel. He suffered greatly and my mother cried most all the time, had early hysterectomy which I think contributed to her depression in the early '50;s. No reparation because my dad developed mental illness so he was not deserving, apparently. But a miracle after six years of incarceration. My brother sister and I grew up in different foster homes, strangers to one another. Mothers insurance money taken by Catholic Social Services never accounted for, but was substantial at the time as she worked in factory. Caused much friction. Never any nurturing or hugs or caring how we felt. Worked in every home I went to. Slept with bed wetter every night. It is an ugly world, but that prosecutor was ambitious and held back facts that should have never had my father convicted. The senator was not re elected and died a few years later. Many people convicted because of egos of the representatives of the government. I told police my father was innocent as he was crying "why did you do it" when I discovered hem. They did not let me testify a the trial. I was 11 years old then. Our system sucks. So many innocent in prison and the guilty running the system. I got a college degree with High Honors, and worked for government and did my job honestly. Did not play politics with anyone. I was there for my clients, the people who lived in nursing homes, state facilities, and assisted living homes. My job was to protect them and I stuck my neck out and was not popular because that was just not the way it was done. Everyone working for themselves.

Yeah I agree! I want to see how long it took him to get him (somewhat) uninstitutionalized and what/how he's been doing. Good comment! 💜

Me too, God is good! Hallelujah!

Yeah so "good" that It let that guy rot 30 years in jail for nothing, an innocent being killed and a family with no answer...

Amen!

Amen

God is the greatest power! Thank you Lord Jesus!

byron elenica so very true 🏵✨❗️

I agree, I have lots of criminal content channels, but one thing I wish somebody would do, is upload all of the wrongfully convicted, it would be a lot of work but it would be worth it ,because yeah, I’m so pissed off right now I can barely see straight🤬,,,✌🏻😷

THAT'S THE SYSTEM IN A NUTSHELL.

It's all fuckin disgusting. Just wrong in every sense of the word

Combat Medic It reflects all walks of the society 'The Good Bad and Ugly.' Nice to see Good prevails.

I suppose they could dig up his coffin and put it there. Not sure what good that would do, though.

It deserves an A+!

That statement was golden 🏵✨❗️

@@shuoyang5546 surely more than that.

@@kitwanatyhimba5247 awww thanks

@@MaElenaBorresCanillas ❤

English accent I assume?

This is America thats why

It's common...sadly there are many more stories like David's.

Evil prevails when good people do nothing. Stand and be counted do what you know is right no matter the cost.

@@IntrovertAquarius No, it happens everywhere, even more so in those days. Today when it happens, in most cases it's a genuine mistake, back then it was much easier in certain cases to just push the blame to some poor sod like David just to get a result and move on.

Agreed

You heard what the sister said… the brother worked with some dirty cops. All of them shall reap what they sow.

So true

Intrust Games One is better than none. But there are few unsung heroes out helping the innocents who are caught in the web of lies and bureaucracy.

Open your eyes and you'll see that there are more.

true that!!!

Such great words Katie. How can the Police and Prosecution sleep at night? Knowing they locked up an innocent man. I hope David lives a happy, joyful life, away from them criminals in uniform.

money is a poor substitute for almost 30 years of wrongful incarceration but i totally agree with you, i hope he takes them to the cleaners but more i hope hes met someone and had the children he wanted .

R. Kelly need to hook him up with some hoes🤔

Money is the last thing he is worried about...he is free hopefully him telling his story will set him up financially...

He was awarded 3.7 million dollars. Hopefully that has enabled him to live happily while he enjoys experiences denied to him previously.

@@nawedlove5437 your dumb

ebo ... you’re right... well said!!😊

We need more good hearted people like you. :) We should look at a person's good works,and their character. It is the heart that matters afterall.

Is it really a happy ending,? This innocent man was robbed of 30 years of life. I don"t consider that a happy endind
