Full Episode
said Ernest just came out the house and like saying it's gonna be okay mom and he went into custody of uh of the police in 99 and now we're in 2023 and he's never been out of that right ever from the age of 17 Lamar decides to play take the stand which is uh you know either courageous or really not very intelligent you know thought out because you got to convince a jury that not only am I uh
Not guilty, but I'm telling you, I'm a shooter. He gets up on the stand and says, I have a gun. And I shot at them. And I had met him, so I knew him around the yard. And I read his case. And I was like, dude, this is the first. You are in prison for a non-crime because you can't have murder if the shooter is acquitted of self-defense.
Right.
And he was like, wait, what?
Hey, this is Matt Cox and I am here with Jay Whitmore and he is a peer support specialist. And we're going to be talking about the Ernest Jackson case. And I will let, I will let Jason explain in more detail. So check it out. Ernest is a guy that was found guilty of being at a murder that he says he wasn't there. And there's tons of evidence that says he wasn't there.
And yet he's still in prison because essentially you believe or I guess everybody pretty much involved in it believes that that the district attorney or the state in general doesn't want to release him because they would have to. Then, of course, they would have to pay him for being wrongfully incarcerated for how many years?
99.
Um, all right. So. And anyway, so they're completely resistant to it.
And this has happened over and over again throughout like throughout the country where prosecutors, they don't want to release guys because their, their fear is if I wrote, if we release them or if it, you know, you know, and the evidence shows that, you know, he was set up or it was a wrongful prosecution, then we have to pay him depending on what state, some states have caps where they say, look, we owe the guy $12,000 a year.
