Greg Taylor was sentenced to 16 years in prison for the murder of Jacquetta Thomas back 1991. The N.C. Innocence Inquiry Commission asked for Taylor's case be reviewed by a three-judge panel. The three judges found him innocence of all charges and released Taylor. Taylor made the most of the time he spent in prison. Taylor read 833 books since 1994 and 2000, he lifted weights, and went to school all while in prison. The best thing that Taylor learned while in prison was sobriety. Taylor said after 9 years he no long has the craving for the drugs he was once addicted to.
What a crock of bull. I mean this poor guy my have got in shape and got an education, but at what price. He has missed his kids growing up. I mean they in the past decade times have really changed, and now he has to figure out how to live all over again. I think what really gets under my skin is that they gave him $45 dollars to get a new start. What the !@#$!!!! I mean $45 dollars wouldn't even buy him a new set of cloths.
I mean I am sure that he is so happy to be out of prison. I would be too, but I think after all the newness wares off I would be pissed!!! I me this man set in prison for 16 years for something he didn't do. I think that the state owes him more then $45 dollars and a oh sorry we made a mistake. I think that they owe this me some kind of compensation for the time he has been away from his family.
It is scary to think that at any given time you could be arrested for being in the wrong place at the wrong time. People are all the time be put in prison for crimes they didn't do. What is even scarier is what about the people who are executed. I mean you can't retry there cases and let them go.
