JOHANNESBURG - A Durban man who spent 16 years in prison for crimes he did not commit is considering suing the state.He was jailed for murder, attempted murder and robbery after ballistic evidence that cleared him was overlooked during the trial.KZN man wrongfully accused of rape free after 14-years "I would love to be compensated because, in my community, everyone knew that a guy from that house is a murderer. When I was in jail, none of my friends could come and see me, when I was arrested no one wanted to be associated with me, up until today - the day I'm out," he said.
Blose was released by the High Court in KwaZulu-Natal on Tuesday and says he is hoping to clear his name and get his life back. Derrick Mdlulu from Justice for Prisoners and Detainees Trust believes there are many people serving sentences for crimes they did not commit.
ArthurBrown02 errors like these will be fatal... With that kind of power...
alfred_cabonena ... This is why we cannot trust our law for the death penalty... With all the technology we have... We don't have the will nor skill.... u see the stats.. imagine giving this power to them...🙈
SAPS again evidence evidence evidence, justice system experiencing turmoil
A gross injustice. Reason number 1001 why the death penalty must never be reinstated. The innocent can never be brought back to life.
He shouldn't take legal action. We're broke and can't afford to pay him. He should love his country and take this in the stomach for the team
He must sue them big time fo lost time, physical n mental torture
Considers? He should do it there's nothing to consider
Going to jail for crimes you didn't commit has got to be in the top 3 WORST😣!
Wrongful arrest can break you into pieces that can't be mended.
Terrible thing to happen to someone. So sorry man
Sue the state R160 million 😁
He must sue the judges who put him away as well as the state.
Such flawed Justice System
I would
16 years? He definitely need to sue the state.
Will the case be re-opened again? Surely the murderer have been walking the streets for 16 years while this man was in jail...Will the police go looking for the real culprit this time?
He should. It is terrible.
And yet some dumkops keep asking for death sentence
Sibusiso you have been given a raw deal yes sue the state! No amount of money will ever recompense your for your loss. But you now need to live in comfort with your family. Our corrupt justice system continues those that have raped our country are still free ?
Still not gonna get those 16 years back but getting paid won't hurt
A woman was definitely involved in this case, it can only be that way an innocent man can be thrown right into jail in this country regardless
Sue brother.
'Consider? He better sue them for millions.
That's why death penalty will never work in this country.
Incompetence is a curse on society. Now we have people calling for the death penalty, which would work, but only in a society where excellence is a culture.
It took 16 years before that choice?
