Mpagi Edward Edmary from Uganda spent over 18 years on death row, accused of killing a man who was later found to be alive.
Mr. Mpagi's family successfully campaigned for his release, providing evidence that the alleged victim was still alive. Sentenced to death for murder in 1982, the Attorney General proved that the man Mr Mpagi was accused of murdering was still alive in 1989. However it was not until 2000 when a nine member presidential committee released Mr Mpagi, deciding he was innocent.
Held for many years in the Luzira Upper Prison, Mr. Mpagi taught his fellow inmates to read and write. He became one of the longest serving inmates and a prison elder. Mr. Mpagi is now an advocate for the abolition of the death penalty and is a committed religious leader. A graduate from a Catholic Diocese he regularly tours prisons providing inspiration and hope to prisoners.

Transcript please!!!!! Many of the wisest among us, being well over 50 years old, cannot hear well enough to understand many of the web presentations' verbal content. Nature has seen fit to filter out the nescient din for us so that we can THINK in order to integrate our knowledge into wisdom. Help us out her—when we choose to raise our heads above the surface of our sea calmness—by providing written transcripts.
I can hardly understand him myself, BoobToobMan and I am under 50 years old. All I can say is, he is lucky to be acquitted and live to tell the tale. Many others are not. It is difficult for me to decide whether or not I am for or against the death penalty for individual cases, such as the one described in this video, but I think that there should be a death sentence for dictators committing genocide.
