On October 11,
60 Minutes aired one of the most moving, disturbing, flagrant stories of injustice I've ever seen in my life. This is one of those posts where
you just need you to see it for yourself, okay?
In it, you will meet Glenn Ford, who recently died of Stage 4 lung cancer after serving 30 years on death row in Louisiana's notorious Angola prison. He was completely exonerated and set free after spending half of his life behind bars for a crime he did not commit.
You will also meet two other people, and they must be seen to be believed.
One is Marty Stroud, the repentant prosecutor who helped convict Glenn Ford and is about the only man on earth you'll ever hear express remorse for such a thing.
The other is Caddo Parish District Attorney Dale Cox, who I've long believed to be an evil human being.
This interview proved it—so much so that it was stranger than fiction. If I wrote a fictional prosecutor and made him say the things that Dale Cox says, people would call me heavy-handed. He is truly a sick man.
Please watch it and see how they somehow justify Glenn Ford not receiving any compensation from the state other than a $20 gift card. It's horrible.
