Sad story...No amount of money can bring back 43 years
Two black men wrongfully convicted of murder freed after 43 years
Two black men who were wrongfully convicted of murder in Florida were freed earlier this week after serving more than 40 years behind bars.
Clifford Williams Jr. was 34 years old and his nephew, Hubert Nathan Myers, was just 18 when they were arrested in May 1976 after the shooting of two women, CNN reports.
The two were reportedly at a party in Jacksonville when the two women were shot, one fatally, in an apartment nearby. But they were quickly arrested, wrongfully convicted and subsequently handed life sentences after just a two-day trial at the time.
It wasn’t until Thursday that Williams, who is now 76, and Myers, 61, had their convictions vacated.
"I'm nervous because I feel like I'm still locked up," Williams told CNN Thursday. "Once I get with my family and know I can look back ... and the reality hits in, I think I'll be all right."
The news comes after a review of the men’s case under the Conviction Integrity Review (CIR) division of the State’s Attorney’s Office in Florida found that the state “no longer has confidence in the integrity of the convictions or guilt of the accused,” a report on the state's investigation seen by ABC News read.
The two men reportedly filed multiple motions for "postconviction relief” that would eventually fail before they began to see a change of luck after petitioning the CIR unit in 2017.
Among the findings from their work with the unit, officials also reportedly discovered another man, Nathaniel Lawson, had confessed to the 1976 shooting years after Williams and Myers were convicted for it.
Why weren't they released when this occurred?
The comprehensive review of the case would later lead to the state throwing out Williams's and Myers’s convictions and setting them free.
According to The Florida Times-Union, Myers will be eligible for compensation from the state for his wrongful imprisonment but Williams will not due to his past criminal record prior to the wrongful conviction.
Really...43 years in jail for something he didn't do?
Ex-lawmaker says Biden inappropriately touched her in 2014
Creepy Joe
Anyone surprised?
---------------------------
Lucy Flores
Flores revealed on Friday in a personal essay that Biden planted a 'big slow kiss' on the back of her head before she went on stage at a rally for her campaign on November 1, 2014 in Las Vegas, Nevada
Washington (AFP) - Joe Biden, who is leading polls for the Democratic presidential nomination, on Friday faced a misconduct accusation by a Nevada ex-lawmaker claiming the then-vice president inappropriately kissed her before a campaign event.
Lucy Flores, the state's Democratic nominee for lieutenant governor in 2014, said she was beside the stage awaiting her turn to address a rally when Biden put his hands on her shoulders from behind, then leaned in and smelled her hair.
Joe 'on stage'.
Tough for Joe to deny Flores' accusation judging by past performances.
"I was mortified," Flores, 39, recounted in New York magazine.
"He proceeded to plant a big slow kiss on the back of my head," she added.
"My brain couldn't process what was happening. I was embarrassed. I was shocked. I was confused," and "I wanted nothing more than to get Biden away from me."
It was unclear just how the accusation might impact Biden's decision to officially enter the race. Those close to the Democrat have reportedly said Biden, 76, could announce his plans in April.
Biden's spokesman Bill Russo said Friday that Biden was "pleased" to support Flores's candidacy, but does not recall the incident.
"Neither then, nor in the years since, did he or the staff with him at the time have an inkling that Ms. Flores had been at any time uncomfortable, nor do they recall what she describes," Russo said in a statement.
He added that Biden "believes that Ms. Flores has every right to share her own recollections and reflections and that it is a change for better in our society that she has the opportunity to do so."
Biden's overly familiar approach with women has been a subject of discussion for years.
He has had a reputation for awkwardly touching the wives, mothers or daughters of senators during swearing-in ceremonies, and he came under criticism for massaging the shoulders of new defense secretary Ash Carter's wife in 2015.
Biden's behavior is receiving renewed attention in the #MeToo era when the movement against sexual assault has led to the downfall of dozens of politicians, entertainment figures and businessmen.
At a Democratic Party dinner in Delaware this month, he acknowledged how his physical style has raised questions.
"I'm a tactile politician, always have been. That's what gets me in trouble as well," Biden said.
Flores wrote that the celebrated Democrat ignores the "power imbalance" that exists between Biden and the women he touches.
"Even if his behavior wasn't violent or sexual, it was demeaning and disrespectful," she added.

'They could have worn white face': Jussie Smollett lawyer offers bizarre explanation as to why the Empire actor told police his Nigerian assailants were white
It was all just an honest mistake.
I'm not bullshitting she actually said this.
Jussie Smollett's lawyer Tina Glandian suggested on Thursday that the reason he told police his Nigerian attackers were white was because they 'might have been wearing white face' and had disguised themselves. Her evidence of the theory is 2016 video of Abel Osundairo dressed up as the Joker
Finally, we got to the bottom of it.
Meanwhile..at Kim Foxx’s office.
Wonder if they're related?
