BREAKING: The Philadelphia DA’s Office, led by @LarryKrasner, just exonerated their 24th wrongfully convicted person. This is right here is why we do the work we do.
Willie Stokes, seen kneeling in this photo, has been in prison for 37 years for a murder he didn’t commit. He’s been in there since 1984.
While his conviction has just been vacated, Willie might remain in jail for a few more weeks or months until everything is finalized.
What’s so painful, is that the ONLY man that testified against Willie was later found guilty of perjury, for lying ABOUT WILLIE, but prosecutors hid this from Willie and his attorneys.
It’s crazy. Every officer and prosecutor on this case should be penalized. They should lose their pensions and law licenses.
Not only that, but it has been discovered that the @PhillyPolice were offering incarcerated men SEX with women they’d bring in, or offers to reduce their time, if they’d provide false testimony against men they didn’t even know.
