If the police want to talk to you, shut the fuck up.

Yeah, and if a conviction is based almost entirely on interrogation, be suspicious. Maybe torture doesn't get useful facts, but it does get false confessions.

Three most important rules of police questioning:

#1: Shut the fuck up.

#3: Shut the fuck up.

#3: Shut the fuck up.

Just remember kids: When it comes to pigs questioning you, EVERY day is Shut the Fuck Up Friday.

Even though that is an enormous win, I don't know if I would give up 10 years of my life for 50 million dollars. I'm glad it was dealt with while he's still relatively young and can hopefully spend some of that money to get therapy that he needs to get past that

Don’t know about you, but the last time I spent ten years I got a lot less than 50 millions out of it.

Well, considering I gave up 10 years of my life to be left with about 500 dollars tied up in future bills, with the promise of more work and more bills never balancing out to where I can ever save or progress further in society and enjoy life.. I think I would.

I'll never be awarded for my wrongful conviction.
