November 26, 2019
LISTEN UP. LOOK WITH COMMITMENT. This is wrong.
It seems to only happen to African Americans, in Mass. THIRTY-SIX (36) YEARS - 3 DECADES PLUS 6 YEARS. TWO OF THESE MEN HAVE NEVER DRIVEN A CAR - A PRIDE/Rightof Passage OF MOST MALES.
===============================
Alfred Chestnut, Andrew Stewart, and Ransom Watkins had been sentenced to life in 1984 for killing a 14-year-old boy a year earlier.
They were freed in Baltimore on Monday, November 25, 2019, after a judge cleared their convictions following a review of their case.
The case was reopened this year after Mr. Chestnut sent a letter to Baltimore's Conviction Integrity Unit.
He included evidence he had uncovered last year.
Mr. Chestnut, Mr. Stewart, and Mr. Watkins were arrested as teenagers in November 1983 following the death of DeWitt Duckett, who was shot in the neck on his way to class at a Baltimore junior high school and had his Georgetown University jacket stolen.
DeWitt's death received widespread press coverage. It was the first fatal shooting of a student in a Baltimore public school. BBC
