Patterson case

There was this case that our Supreme Court heard, called the Patterson case. His case was the groundbreaker on the police torture claims. Ironically the court still refused to grant him release. Our former governor (Ryan) granted four of these individuals full clemency and released them. The court system just turned a blind eye.

The only thing that upset me about their cases and mine is that the only reason they got so much attention was because they were high profile cases (death penalty). The average case gets swept under the rug. Second, it is no doubt that these individuals were beaten y the police but none had evidence showing they were actually innocent. No witnesses came forth and most had other evidence besides their statements adding to their guilt. I do and that is why I am pushing hard for my case.
