Comments by "Jim Werther" (@jimwerther) on "Clinton Young: The Wrong Man on Death Row? | Real Stories True Crime Documentary" video.

@lsad705 I wonder about your bias here. The "evidence" you list makes little sense. One example: An 18 year old boy driving to see a 17 year old girl makes him a double murderer?

Really not

@dappppppppt Your claim is absolutely, unequivocally, statistically, factually false. I don't know where you get your information from, but you repeated fatuous propaganda.

ella More than a technicality, really.

Page may well be guilty, but mindreading such as the type presented here is proven to be utterly worthless. Evidence matters, the rest doesn't.

@grass I'm sorry you were unable to understand my comment, and instead went the ad hominem route instead. As I noted above, the claim that "there are so many innocent people on death row and in prison" is without basis.

@HandbagDiva Yeah, that's sad. At the same time, prosecutors have got to know that they have a very poor chance of convicting him of murder this time around, two decades later. My guess is, and it's only a guess, they want to hold the prospect of another trial (and possible guilty verdict) over his head so he pleads to a lower charge and gets time served, and walks right away. This lets the prosecutors save face, and saves the state or county from paying out millions in a lawsuit.

1. This doc is around seven years old. 2. Clinton Young's conviction was thrown out around three months ago. One assistant DA was simultaneously working for the judge, an obvious conflict. 3. This doc was nice, but sloppy at times. Early on it made almost no attempt to explain the different versions presented. And the onscreen type contained not only typos, but also one occasion when the language was Dutch instead of English. Whoops.

@grass Sorry you went the childish route once you misunderstood my comment. In fact, the claim that "There are so many innocent people on death row and in prison" is baseless.

@grass Sorry that my choice of words is beyond your third grade level language skills. Improve your grammar and spelling instead of lashing out at those more educated and intelligent than yourself. My comments stand on their own merits. If you can't decipher them, have someone at your local grocery store explain them to you.

@Dmc841 I have an interest in and knowledge of true crime. Since DNA went mainstream a generation ago in the minds of both law enforcement and juries, very few innocents get convicted, and bad convictions get reviewed. It's a different world than it was.

@Enoughalready20237 YT disallows links. Ask anyone with a knowledge of true crime, and they can tell you that the mainstreaming of DNA as well as other scientific advances has entirely changed the world of criminology so as to be virtually unrecognizable to what it was as recently as 35 years ago, or even later. Notice that the Innocence Project and similar organizations achieved exoneration for a large number of convicts dating to the 1980s and 1990s, but precious few since. Why? Many cases that resulted in conviction pre-DNA wouldn't even get prosecuted now. Not only is law enforcement far more equipped to solve crimes properly, but juries are infinitely-better informed as to the limitations of previously relied-upon "evidence" such as bite marks, hair consistency, witness identification, and jailhouse snitches. Prosecutors rarely get convictions anymore without airtight evidence, a different world than existed for thousands of years prior to very, very recent times.
