Innocent Dad Spent 17 Years In Jail For An Armed Robbery Carried Out By His Look by sexyZee(f): 3:34pm On Jun 11, 2017 |
An Innocent dad, Richard Jones spent 17 years in a US jail for an armed robbery carried out by a LOOKALIKE who shared the same name with him. Richard from Kansas City, Kansas, who was locked up for a crime he did not do has been set free after cops found his lookalike. Jones had been jailed for armed robbery in 1999 after an eyewitness said he was the robber. But during a new hearing into his case this same witness could not tell Jones from a man called Ricky who looks just like him. Jones also lived on the other side of Kansas while his lookalike lived where the robbery happened.. From the side they look just the same It also turned out that there was no physical, DNA or fingerprint evidence. After being released, Jones told the Kansas City Star.: “I don’t believe in luck, I believe I was blessed.” Jones had unsuccessfully appealed his case several times. But two years ago he heard about a man in jail who looked just like him and even shared his first name. After realising this could be the man who committed the crime, Jones contacted the Midwest Innocent Project, a non-profit organisation that provides legal services to the wrongly-convicted. An attorney working on Jones’ case said: “We were floored by how much they looked alike. lookalike Jones is reunited with his family after spending nearly 17 years banged up for something he did not do Everybody has a doppelgänger, luckily we found his.” Jones is now getting used to life on the outside and says he is happy to be back with his kids He said: “When it comes to my kids, it’s been a rough ride, but they are now at an age where they can understand.” http://www.gistallover.com/innocent-dad-spent-17-years-jail-armed-robbery-carried-lookalike/ 1 Like

If am to judge this, I will say the doppelgänger already knew the innocent man hence the reason he shaved exactly like him. He made his appearance look exactly like the innocent man so he could get away easily which he did. You can look like someone but the same Hair style Beard shave and everything? It doesn't werk that way |

When you look like a criminal, anything can happen. However, I refuse to believe that the only evidence used in convicting him was his look, if that is the case his lawyers should be disbarred for being incompetent. |
