What are some examples of human cruelty?

In 1991, John Bunn, age 14, was framed by a detective and charged with the murder and attempted murder of two correctional officers in Brooklyn. He was given a one-day trial followed by 27 years in prison. During his term, he didn’t receive an education.

In 2018, Bunn was freed with the help of The Exoneration Initiative, a foundation dedicated to freeing the wrongfully convicted.

This man wasted 27 years of his life in prison for an offense that he never committed.

Damn, that was cruel...

Update: For some of us in the comment session that are curious to know what happened to the police detective officer, here it is: The lead detective of the case was Louis Scarcella. He has since been disgraced as it was proved he was as corrupt as can be. Look at this picture of the man that caused the whole catastrophe.

Edit: Thanks for all the upvotes and comments. I'm indeed overwhelmed as I never expected it. The views and reshare are incredible.

He was just 14 when he was wrongly arrested for the murder of an off-duty correction officer and now, almost 30 years later, John Bunn breaks down in tears as he was pardoned in court.

Bunn was one of at least 6 other black males convicted based on false evidence supplied by disgraced NYPD Detective, Louis Scarcella. Over 70 other cases are under review.

Cyntoia was 16

Korey Wise was 16

Khalif Browder was 16

Some people will assume that Cyntoia’s story is an isolated incident with a happy ending... but in actuality the over-criminalization, excessive sentencing and mass incarceration of Black & Brown youth is an American epidemic.

Tears flowed down the face of a newly exonerated murder suspect as he railed about the crooked process that stole 17 years of his life.

Remembering another Black man who was wrongfully convicted.
