We all deserve justice.

For some, that's a seat on the NYC council. For others, it's the revocation of any right to do business in the state and hundreds of millions of dollars in fines, penalties, legal fee, and interest. And maybe a couple decades in a Georgia prison.

I don't mind, though, if in the interest of justice they let the prisoner post North Korean love notes on his cell wall.

This is awkward for me because I’m white so I should NOT make this about me. But I guess I’m going to?! (What a dick) I was a teen when this case happened and this was a pivotal moment in my life because all of the adults were acting insane. I knew these boys were innocent. Hi, they were accused of a gang rape but only one kind of semen was found and none of the boys was a match. HOW COULD THEY BE GUILTY? Oh because they confessed — yeah, and they all had bruises on their faces. The adults I knew all wanted them to be locked up forever. Even though it was obvious to me, an average teen, that they could not be guilty. It was a good lesson in adults not knowing that much and in not respecting authority too much.
