i don't know how much of smooth's appraisal of the "guilty until proven innocent" subject i'd agree with, but...
this truly is an awful thing to hear of. being held in prison innocent of charges for 22 years is... i'm not sure there are many things worse that can happen to a person in our society. the state of florida should be ashamed. it should pony up enough money to make sure this man is comfortable for the rest of his life.
no bus fare? ridiculous.
