I tell you what the wildest part about it was, and it makes me really feel for those who are wrongfully accused of more major offenses. Even though he did not do it and he knew he was not guilty, he said that after time he began to feel or think that he was there b/c he deserved to be there or that he belonged there. Not that he felt he was involved in a crime, but as time wore on, he said you are there with criminals and you have very little association with people other than criminals that he began to get a certain mindset that he really could not describe except only to say that he had 2 options, sit there and do nothing but think about how he was being wronged or accept that he was there and there was nothing he could do about it. I personally would have likely done something while in there, out of anger, that would land me additional time regardless of my guilt or innocence of the crime I was tried for. And while somewhat joking, that is why I made the earlier "ex-con" post.
Ok, I'm gettin visions of a new reality TV show. "Girls who date ex-cons who weren't guilty in the first place."
I think that if someone is falsely convicted of a crime they should get the prosecutor's and judge's salary who convicted them for the same amount of time they were in prison. And the judge and lawyer have to work for free.
