Jury Awards $120 Million to Illinois Men Wrongfully Convicted of Murder
A federal jury in Chicago awarded $120 million on Monday to two Illinois men who spent more than 16 years behind bars for a 2003 murder they did not commit. John Fulton and Anthony Mitchell were teenagers when they were convicted in 2006 for the murder of Christopher Collazo, whose body was found bound and partly burned in an alley on the South Side of Chicago in the early hours of March 10,…

The daughter of a wrongfully convicted Nova Scotia man says burying her father next month will renew her intense grief — especially if a criminal investigation into his case remains stalled. Amanda Huckle says when her father Glen Assoun died about two years ago, she felt the accumulated injustice of the almost 17 years he spent in a federal prison for a crime he was found not guilty of committing. "As his life left his body, it's like all his pain just sat in the palm of our hands and we're left to carry this," she said in a telephone interview Wednesday.

Kathleen Folbigg's children most likely suffered from various genetic conditions that led to their deaths. Folbigg was wrongfully imprisoned in 2003 and ordered to serve a minimum of 25 years for the suffocation murders of three of her children and manslaughter for the fourth.

tbh shri’iia’s stats in game are from me min-maxing it so her build is optimal but now i kinda want to keep the low int and wis 😭 like she is really Not the smartest, i fear, but she is however very charismatic! and shri’iia’s charisma isn’t just on how she speaks - it’s in her presence and body language as well. like i think she’s rather charming when you interact with her to the point that she can say the most crass things but it’s sounds like a joke - and almost endearing - when it comes from her mouth. she’s a person who you’d love to have a drink with because you know you’re gonna have a good time - she’s great company! - except she’s not genuine most of the time, and she’s actually fishing information from you when she asks you things about yourself but it’s not so obvious. anyway i like the idea of shri’iia having this natural charm about her, and whenever she is doing something related to her oath, she does it with so much belief and conviction that you feel compelled to believe it as well.
but she’s not smart LMFAO
#like oathbreaker shri’iia telling you the imprisoned spawns that she’s going to free them (per her oath)#that they believe her despite her promise sounding so impossible but it’s just the way she says it and the conviction in her eyes#that makes it seem she might just do the impossible <- that’s the kind of charisma she has#in contrast to astarion who is not as charismatic as her actually his own charm and way of seducing people#is very much practiced. it is the same lines he has recited over and over to the point that it becomes second nature but#it doesn’t come as naturally as shri’iia’s charm. he’s less charismatic than her tbh#but that charisma def worked to her favor in act 1 when she’s pretending to be Not a drow cultist. she just amped up the sweetness and the#pleasantry to distract you from the fact that she answers very vaguely when you try to get her to talk abt herself#but shri’iia not being smart is kinda my fav thing dkdnkNdnd#she has a very ? what like it’s hard? attitude then she’ll trip over fail family guy death pose

PLEASE READ
If you could take a second to read this and maybe sign the petition, share it, call etc, that would be awesome. The US justice system in all of its bullshit wisdom is disregarding clear evidence of innocence yet again even by a prosecuting DA and since a ruling by the Supreme Court that basically says innocence doesn’t matter, Missouri is going to execute a man in five days for a crime that he didn’t commit and they can very well get away with it unless we do something. Check the link below by the Innocence Project for more info. Reblogs are greatly appreciated 🖤

Erik and Lyle Menendez were verbally, physically, and sexually abused horrifically by their parents from early childhood. In 1989, the brothers took the lives of their abusers, fearful for how the abuse was progressing and concerned it would never end without their intervention. Their father was a powerful man, and they likely would have been dismissed by law enforcement and then harmed even worse by their parents for daring to speak their truth. Erik and Lyle have been in jail since the early 90’s.
Erik and Lyle’s family have created a petition to help voice the support of the public for their release as the DA reviews new evidence. This is an infuriating case and one I have been endlessly passionate about for a very, very long time. Please consider lending your voice to this cause. The Menendez brothers have suffered enough.

Adnan Syed Will Not Return to Prison, Judge Rules
Adnan Syed will not return to prison after prosecutors in Baltimore withdrew a motion last week to vacate his murder conviction despite efforts to clear his record, a Maryland judge ruled on Thursday. The case has gone back and forth since it became the subject of widespread attention in 2014, when the podcast “Serial” raised questions about the investigation into the 1999 killing of Hae Min Lee,…

This is perhaps premature, but I've gotten through to 214 & while Barnabas has gotten some heavy-duty foreshadowing, talked up as a force of inscrutable malice and evil, haunting the narrative as a disembodied heartbeat- thusfar, he's mostly been strangely charming, flirted with people who may or may not be his direct descendants, and monologued about home construction and evil in The Old House at Vicki. I know it's coming, but.
#where else in the world can i go for plot developments like this? god.#there's something going on here where antagonists are always - hmm. not given the benefit of the doubt. but given some great wrong.#burke's got his betrayal & wrongful conviction & years of imprisonment; barnabas - however he became a vampire - now has;#his conflict with his father which he speaks of as betrayal & you know. more than a century of being buried alive. undead. whatever.#i'm not saying i'd be rabid but i'd consider biting people.#polkaknox talks#the news from collinsport
