Kwame Ajamu Is A Free Man After Being Falsely Imprisoned For 27 Years by Nobody: 5:50pm On Jun 03, 2019 |
He's the third Ohio man exonerated after being wrongly accused of the 1975 murder. Imprisoned after the testimony of a 13 year old witness who recanted his testimony last year, saying he was coerced by detectives at the time." "Kwame Ajamu, 56, was the last of three men exonerated in the 1975 robbery and murder of a Cleveland-area money order salesman. Ajamu was originally sentenced to death, but it was vacated because of a paperwork error. He later earned parole in 2003." Only now being exonerated of all charges. "The two other accused, Ajamu's brother, Wiley Bridgeman, 60, and Ricky Jackson, 57, were released from prison last month after 39 years." "Defense attorney Terry Gilbert said that Cuyahoga County prosecutors took a courageous stand not to fight the dismissal of charges against the men. Prosecutors also said they won't stop the trio from seeking more than $4.1 million in compensation from their wrongful imprisonments, reported Cleveland.com. " "“We were robbed,” Ajamu said. “There will be no offspring when I die. When my brother passes away, that is it. We don’t have children. There will never be another Ronnie Bridgeman." Damn. They really bleeped this up.

yemaldo: I am a man, I do not cry and I can never ever cry no matter how bad the situation is. Men don't cry, only sissy do. Never ever will I cry. But while reading the bolded part, I saw tears drop on my laptop. Life is really unfair. 2 Likes |
