WHAT'S REALLY GOING ON???

The wait is over for Alton Logan. Logan was released earlier this year after spending 26 years in prison for a killing another man confessed to. He had been waiting 5 months to see whether prosecutors would retry him. Thursday morning, charges were formally dropped and vacated. Logan had been telling everyone who would listen for the last 26 years he didn't do it and finally he was heard...Earlier this year, lawyers Jamie Kunz and Dale Coventry said that Andrew Wilson — a convicted cop killer who was their client — years ago admitted to them he had killed the man in which Logan was imprisoned for killing. The lawyers said they were bound by attorney-client privilege to keep Wilson's secret until Wilson died in prison last November. What makes this even more FUCKED UP is that Logan can only be awarded up to $200,000 in compensation for his pardon...THAT'S LESS THAN $8,000 A YEAR!!! Logan has admitted he's had a hard time finding a job in construction, building maintenance and plumbing — the fields he's trained for...even after being proved innocent.The justice system can eat a "COCK MEAT SANDWICH" for the way shit is set up! At 55, the prime of his life has been taken from him...priceless time, which he can never get back...time which proved to be costly for his mother, who passed away and he was unable to attended her funeral...That's fucked up, and I'm really hurt by this...$200,000...huh! Another innocent brother taken it up the ass! Between this and watching O.J. pay out $33.5 million after an innocent verdict, I'm looking for a new country to relocate to...
