The Sun Does Shine | Anthony Ray Hinton | Talks at Google – Blog

For those who were involved in sending an innocent man to death row and ensuring he stayed on death row for 30 years: HOW CAN YOU LIVE WITH YOURSELF AND SLEEP PEACEFULLY AT NIGHT? God have mercy on their souls. Such a tragic story.

I’m reading his book at the moment. Absolutely fantastic.

Chris DiDonna
Men that spend years after being wrongfully convicted should be compensated

The first unspeakable wrong is to send somebody knowingly innocent to death row. An equally unspeakable wrong is to free somebody for a crime they did not do after 30 long years without an apology and without a cent of compensation! Shame on the state of Alabama!!

No words just tears… listening to this has changed my life for the rest of my life..

Shelly Muir
I am so touched by this mans testimony. Thank God he is free. Really hope he will live a long happy life with compensation
Samurai Stand
I am so touched by this brave man’s story. Having my uncle doing life even though he’s innocent. It breaks my heart to know that there are so many other inmates paying for a crime they didn’t commit. God bless all this men to carry on and the Lord have mercy on those who put them where they are.

State of Alabama should pay for his living costs for the rest of his life!! Plus restore his mama’s house!! Bless you Mr. Hinton❤️🙏
Patrick Wenzel
I truly hope your story will move the biggest mountains and bring about positive change. The world is not fair, but at the very least truth and justice should prevail.
Chris DiDonna
Justice needs to be served on all that wrongfully convicted this man
Jack D
I just finished reading the book. what a corrupt government system.
Ms Nutrients
What a HORRIFIC INJUSTICE to humanity, society and all things moral!!!  Every living human being responsible for this judicial lynching, from the malicious prosecutors, venomous public defender to the vile judge, should be charged for attempted murder!! The shocking reality is that Mr. Hinton is just ONE of thousands!  God BLESS the entire EQUAL JUSTICE INITIATIVE team for being true to their calling!
Antony Brown
Even though this brother lost 30 years of his life my beautiful mother which is no longer with me always said that God sits high and looks low and don’t miss anything St Louis at the house

“Bitterness kills the soul”. So powerful statement.😥
OblaXXX
It breaks my heart when he said they take away my 30s my 40s my 50s. It’s just pure sadness.

Mr. Hinton wondered several times, out loud, why nobody had the decency to say to him: “I’m sorry.” The truth is, soulless men cannot apologize for their mistakes or for their intentional evils. A good example is Donald Trump, and the Central Park 5. Despite their exoneration, on evidence and proof that is rock -solid, Trump has not been able to express any regret for his zeal to see those teens lives ended, and his using full-page newspaper ads to make that wish known. Since they were cleared in 2002, Trump has taken the opportunity several times to double-down on his belief in their guilt and that they should not have been cleared. It particularly goads him that they men received compensation for their lost years.

Make the justice have to mandatorily pay innocent victim’s of justice a high and I mean high monetary price for condemned to death prisoners released from death row for being convicted of sentence’s of crimes they did not commit.Hit the unfair system in their pockets in all of the united states for tragedies of justice like Hintons.
Brittany Fraser
This is so sad. I hope he gets the money he needs to fix up his and his moms house ❤️❤️

So very sad that a system is lazy and slow and blunt in its delivery of justice. A matter of life and death for this man in the hands of careless and indifferent professionals.

Teresia Wachira
How can a just system in a first world or developed world soooooo broken? I do not have any words to describe about this case. Just because of race?

WHAT A HEART WRENCHING LIFE STORY, MAY GOD JUDGING THOSE WHO JUDGED MR. HINTON WITH INJUSTICE.
StephMo
Just Sad!! This was 1986!! Someone on another post said: “this is why football players are takin a knee” so true! My question is: how did they get his name?
Latranay Eakins
His message is one of forgiveness but, it’ll be hard for you to find forgiveness while reading Mr. Hinton’s book. This reading will leave you with the feeling of anger and helplessness. It’s a true tear jerker so get your tissues ready
Busayo Adekolurejo
Humans can be wicked. But God truly vindicates, no matter how long. This is HOPE.
Gifty Agyekum
This man has thought me never to loss my faith in Christ Jesus no matter what I go through in life.🙏

Judy Scott
Thank God Sir for telling your journey 🥲👍🏽🙏🏽🙌
Michael
Hearing him telling his story is probably as good as a movie told by a director This makes me think of The Green Mile And when he speaks, I see places, I see faces and hear voices There is absolutely no pride in being white for me as it is not a choice I made My legacy comes from a people who didn’t feel and didn’t think for those who were not like them I won’t apologize for them because they do not deserve any apology of any kind They are the ones who should have been executed for being such horrible human beings and such a poison to humanity And even if some of them might have been my ancestors, I wish I wasn’t born if it was for one more innocent life saved
The Great Spirit
All of us should help contribute in some way to the fight to get those who are innocent and those who are given too harsh a sentences to free them or unto the harsh sentences. To have the opportunity to help would give so much joy to those who would like to help but don’t have the resources or education.

Mr Hinton: I am sorry for all the pain and suffering that u went thru, even more so unjustifiably. I’m truly sorry. But u got me a bit confused on the “white thing” bro. U pointed out the evils of the white police, white accuser, white jury, white judge, yet during ur sufferings at the hands of white people, u chose to visit and have tea with the white queen Elizabeth and later divorce ur beautiful and faithful black wife Halle Berry to marry a white woman Sandra Bullock. What’s up with u and this love/hate of white people brother? Hmm…
Patricia Shields
No dear sir, not because the color of YOUR sin, but the color of THEIRS.

I hate these type of stories, however it is good for us to understand just how bad United States of America need to change the justice system to be equal and fair, but I forgot there is no such thing when you are a minority. How some people can lay down and state they are a Christian and do these types of things I just don’t understand. That’s a heart of pure evil, misery and bigotry. Lord please take the wheel and bless Mr. Hinton.

30 years ??? sounds like a choice ,huh ?? >> someone send this Kanye
