An innocent man Anthony Graves spent 18 years in jail and now Texas is denying him compensation because of "wording" in his release papers. Yup, Texas has come up with a new way to take away innocent people of color's freedom.
The Texas justice system has come up with a new way to screw over black men who are innocent. Black Americans face it, we're living in the NEW JIM CROW era. America the land of the FREE does not include black people in the FREE part if you live in TEXAS. Well...what do you expect with a governor like Rick Perry who is a confederate sympathizer.
Texas appears to be a little backwards and evidently does not like diverse communities since they have a history of locking up innocent black men. Graves is not the first black man that was found innocent in Texas.
It was just a few months ago that Texas was rewriting history and leaving people of color out it. Deep in the heart of Texas are some racial preferences for incarcerating innocent black men.
This man has spent 18 years of his life in prison and now Texas wants to renege and refuse to obey the law to compensate him for those wasted years of his life. A man did not break the law, but the state of Texas is breaking a law and denying him what is rightfully due him. It is something wrong with the justice system if they can lock an innocent man up, take away 18 years of his life, and then spit in his face when they realize that they made a mistake. Folks there is no justice like Texas' injustice!

No doubt they can't understand why he'd complain when they were KIND enough to provide him with room and board for eighteen years.
does anybody know where granny is? she needs to be more responsible with her blog. As a mentally challenged bm, I get tired of sitting at my computer waiting on her. I think she is flirting with me cause of the way she treats me...they have different ways of showing interest in each other in Oakland.:) I got your number, granny. I know what you are trying to do.
