Florida is a cesspool of systemic racism
Mr. Green needs to be released!

There are so many wrongs in this case that he should have never been convicted in the first place. Common sense comes in to play from the start. The girlfriend Kim is who I would have looked at from the get go. The prosecutor White is worried about his self instead of admitting he was wrong (that’s very sad due to the job he held). I’ve never been behind bars and I can’t even begin to imagine what it would feel like being in Mr Green’s shoes all this time. I wonder if Mr White has ever thought of that.. I doubt it. The whole justice system has let Mr. Green down completely. NO ONE in the county is willing to own up to the mistakes made and admit Mr Green is not guilty (Disgrace). NO ONE at the state level has done right by using common sense and holding anyone accountable for Mr Green not getting a fair trial (big disgrace). Finally NO ONE at the federal level has done right by making sure the court systems are keep in check and that this type of thing doesn’t happen to an innocent person (BIGGER DISGRACE). For all the people who looked at this case at all levels, you have forgotten why you went to law school and you should feel ashamed that you didn’t do the right thing. Last but not least, the Florida parole commission board needs to have everyone resign or be investigated for not doing the right thing when the board made a mistake. They made the mistake and they should be dealt the consequences. Mr Green didn’t do anything with the parole board, that’s 100% them. You have one job do it and do it correctly. Everyone that has done Mr Green wrong through this whole case needs to look in the mirror and call themselves a failure.
