Ok, a man is imprisoned for 35 years for a murder he didn't commit. Pretty amazing.
Man is released after former fellow inmate starts petition for is release. Pretty amazing.
Man who is wrongfully imprisoned for more than a quarter century has the attitude "mistakes happen. I'm just happy to be out." Pretty amazing.
Now, maybe this says something about me, but the part that sticks out in my head is his name.
Really? That's his name?

and an awesome name it is.
it takes quite a man to know all he had to do was say he did it and he was sorry at a parole hearing to keep saying he was innocent, knowing it would keep him in prison.
I'd rather be in jail and be innocent, then be found guilty of something I didn't do.

I feel the same way, but I've never spent a minute in prison. That's a strong man to insist he's innocent for 35 years of hell.
The witness should go to jail for lying.

It's not as terrible as the TV makes it seem. I've known people.

Are you registered sir?
WHY YES I AM!

Depends a whole lot on where you are, and the alliances you make.
There's also a world of difference between a jail and a prison.
Wait, he isn't immediately suing the state for a few million bucks?

I'm sure some shyster will find him ….

I'm sure lots of places aren't as bad as TV makes it seem. But I don't want to be in the best prison that murder would land you in haha.

And they should share a cell with the cops that hid the evidence.

Aren't those 2 choices the exact same thing?

He would have been out on parole way earlier if he copped to it.
i wonder how he will adjust to life on the outside after being inside for so long? the world is a very, very different place than it was the last time he was out in it, and i wouldn't be too shocked to find out in a couple of years that he wound up getting into trouble just to get back in to the life that he's known for so long.
Wonder what will happen to the witnesses? Obviously, perjury should be charged. Can Mr. Register sue them?
That is a cool name btw.

Mom alway's knew he'd Kash out.

No, that is correct.
The best choice would be guilty and hiding on a Beach somewhere. As far as suing this is probably one occasion where he should be entitled to a few bucks. At least from the lying witness and police .
I watched a documentary about 5 or 6 people that were wrongfully convicted, some for more innocent reasons, but most were downright setup or railroaded. When they got out they basically got nothing. No money, no settlement, no job, nothing. I hope Kash Register finds his way.

I bet he's got a few bucks on the talk show circuit, and a book, and POSSIBLY a movie out of the deal. Maybe something on lifetime? Are made for TV movies a thing anymore?
