The entirety of his adult life was DESTROYED…
Thank God he had the will to live and fight for his innocence, despite the world judging him as something he wasn’t. That statistic about black men being wrongfully accused and incarcerated is mind blowing, but absolutely believable. #TeamDL 

nationalblackguide :
Via simonemyrie … “Free at last! Free at last! Thank God almighty, I’m free at last.” Leonard Mack, exonerated after 47 years. This is the longest wrongful conviction overturned by DNA in U.S. history.

Imagine being wrongfully convicted, with racial bias and unreliable witnesses - for 47  years  my heart breaks.  But this man refused parole hearings, as he would have to admit his crime. 
the justice system in America is anything but blind. imagine walking around for 50 years being wrongly labeled as rapist. at least Leonard Mack lived to see real justice

Finally DNA proves his innocence. DNA is forever freeing the falsely accused, but dang nearly 50 yrs of this man’s life??? Can’t imagine how he held on all these years, Leonard Mack sir write the book and tell us your story. #LeonardMack
