A Black man in Georgis will be in jail until 2022, even though he was found not guilty.
Ramad Chatman was on probation for breaking into an apartment and stealing a television in 2012. He paid his fines, did community service and never broke the terms of his probation.
Then in 2014, a store clerk was robbed at gunpoint. The security footage was too grainy to definitely identify the suspect but a year later, scrolling through Facebook, the clerk saw a picture of Chatman and testified in court that “it triggered something in me, it just made me freak out”.
So over a year later, finding out he was a suspect, Chatman turned himself into a police station knowing he was innocent.
He was arrested and during the trial, the clerk’s testimony constantly changed. A jury found Chatman not guilty of the robbery.
Despite this, the judge decided to jail him anyway, for 10 years, dating back to 2012!
This is a serious miscarriage of justice and we need to spread this and make sure someone who can help hears his story.
Can’t take a single word in the article into any credibility with the title you’ve got here.
“Black Man Found NOT GUILTY BUT He’s Was Jailed For 10 Years Anyway!”
Illiterate motherfucker much? Bet you don’t even see the error in your posting.
