The Exoneration of Thaddeus Jimenez
Loading...
Uploaded by wrongfulconvictions on May 4, 2009
Thaddeus Jimenez ("TJ") is the youngest person at the time of his arrest ever to be exonerated in Illinois and likely in all of the United States. In 1993, he was 13 years old and sentenced to 50 years as an adult for a crime he did not commit. TJ was exonerated on May 1, 2009 through the work of the Center on Wrongful Convictions. This short video features interviews with TJ's lawyers, as well as footage of him leaving prison and seeing his mother for the first time as a free man.

Our justice system really needs to be fixed up. Humans are flawed and not perfect.

@1stworlder It was distribution weight LSD . They also got him with digital scales, baggies, several stolen GPS devices, 3 illegal guns, several hundred rounds of ammunition, etc. Not exactly a pure-as-the-driven-snow kinda guy.

Funny the yahoo newsite that linked to this vid had "However, last December, Jimenez was convicted on drug possession charges and could be headed back to prison for up to three years. He sentencing is scheduled for February 1, according to CBS News."
Guess he wasn't inna cent even if he didn't kill this one.

Thank God that there are good people in America that will fight for Justice and Right. I wish they interview those that committed this judicial atrocity: the Judge – the Jury - the State Attorney – the Police! They must be quite sober now.

All the major players in this wrongful conviction at the prosecutors office should all be jailed . They stole 16 years of that man's life, I wouldn't know what I would have done had I been in Mr. Jimenez's position. What the prosecutors did here was seriously criminal. My best wishes to Mr. Jimenez, I hope the government gives him all that is owed to him.
