This made me cry…oh my this really sad.
This one got at my heart strings y'all 😥
As a child victim involved with the death of a parent and being the only witness, it IS hard. Memories, dreams and adults opinions do impact what you believe happened on that day. Especially when I had my parent's family who believed what they wanted to believe despite my testimony even though I was there!! Luckily, I was 10 and a little older and I stuck to my guns and didn't let others sway me.
This is why I don’t agree with the death penalty. Now the real killer can’t say what he has done or admit his guilt.. and also imagine if he was given death penalty.. and he’s innocent !
I am so glad Melissa came forward! This is so sad the way the law manipulates witnesses, especially when there children! He is such a good man not to be scorned by having his whole life taken from him! #hero
Maybe I am completely off, but the compassion for this man feels wrong to me. I think he did it. And, if not, what's with his other murder? He said something like "This guy stole my ax and I killed him with a rock". But he would never hurt a child. ??? That is a very intense thing to do to a person. No pity here.
What would he be doing in the real world after 36 years behind bars? He should be giving dime kind of compensation to last the rest of his life
Melissa is so brave for standing up and recanting! How many people would just live out theit lives on that shame? Probably many cowards out there
😭😭😭so sad and happy at the same time I feel bad for what Rodney went through
I literally started crying
How sad. He needs to be free.
OMG This really breaks my heart😥😥
I feel so sorry for this man, we don't get cases like this in the UK I just can't imagine what horrors he's been through.
"33y 6m 2w 1d, but who's counting" that is the most inspirational thing for some reason
It’s too late for him.Hes too old and won’t last.
She’s a crazy bitch just pointing the finger. The bad bitch
so sad free Mr Rodney
this man is making me as emotional as the victim made me! he seems to be such a sweet old guy, I feel bad about him missing his youth, but MAYBE, if this didn't happen, something worse could have happened to him, like death in some accident…who knows, I just want to see him free
This has brought tears to my eyes. Melissa is extremely brave for stepping forward and correcting a wrong, and I hope and pray that Rodney will be released so that he may attend his granddaughter's birth to her baby.
I'm cheering for Rodney Lincoln!!!!!
