Kevin Strickland, 62, was exonerated Tuesday morning after serving decades at Western Missouri Correctional Center in Cameron, Missouri. Strickland was convicted in 1979 of one count of capital murder and two counts of second-degree murder in a triple homicide. He received a 50-year life sentence without the possibility for parole for a crime that, over the years, he maintained he had not been involved in.Senior Judge James Welsh dismissed all criminal counts against Strickland.
"To know my mother was underneath that dirt and I hadn't gotten a chance to visit with her in the last years ... I revisited those tears that I did when they told me I was guilty of a crime I didn't commit," Strickland told CNN's Brianna Keilar Wednesday.
And those who sent him there purposefully and unfairly are likely gonna spend the next infinity years here in eternity regretting it likely in endlessly scaling emotional and material suffering upward and forever possibly...
The jacked up thing is. He can’t get his time back. This is why our judicial system needs fixed so badly.
Happy to help make a good thing out of a bad ✊🏻

I will never forget this day, but the worst for me was yet to come, after this everything was worse 💔 my case start in 2017 our son was born in 2018, I’m still waiting for justice,My son don’t deserve all of this 💙JUSTICE4US 💙 justice4noahisaacandamandagarcia
This is ashame, this has happened to many black men, even without evidence! This is how the white system works!
I can’t get any help with my fund. PLEASE HELP💙PLEASE SHARE❤️Our Dog Wader Died We Need help with medical bills 😥
So what did the state of Missouri give him?
The state need to pay him millions of dollars
Mmmm are we surprised this happened in Missouri? That he was punished for a crime they DIDN'T try to solve but decided to pin on someone of color?
They took his entire life from him. He should sue.
Unfortunately he can’t get those 43 wasted years back.
I think he deserves at least 43 million and the state should make sure he doesn’t have a need for the rest of his life
Raising this amount of money shows that there are still a lot of good people left in the world 😇🙏🏽!
A fucked up society
Money can never compensate enough for time lost
Why do ordinary citizens do this and why are those who put him in prison not named?
I hope one of these people is a financial advisor who will help him invest and show him how to navigate paying bills. And another a lawyer to help him sue the state for wrongful incarceration.
Great news.
