“He and his family deserved better,” the Innocence Project of Florida said in a statement. “Lenny’s life mattered.”
Cure’s quest to rebuild his life after being wrongfully convicted in 2003 ended tragically on the shoulder of Interstate 95 in South Georgia on Monday morning.
On Wednesday, the Camden County, Georgia, sheriff’s office released body-worn and dash camera videos of the moments leading up to the shooting.
In the dash cam video, the deputy begins pursuing Cure with his sirens on after Cure’s vehicle passes his. The pursuit lasts about one minute and 20 seconds.
This man’s life was a tragedy. I feel so sorry for him. Mistreated the whole damn way.
This guy had a long history of violence before the crime for which he was eventually exonerated. He should have known better than the get violent with the police by this point. Yeah it’s very unfortunate that it led to this but he probably was far from an innocent. Sometimes the bleeding heart types around here remind me of the lady who decided it was her moral obligation to befriend her mother’s killer, only to eventually be killed by her mother’s killer.
Watch the video before making an imbecilic response.
so execute him?
A lot of people would be hostile to the police if the system they serve robbed you 16 years of your life.
After having his entire life destroyed by police and the prison system, I don’t blame him for being terrified. Not to mention how mentally broken he must have been at that point from being in a cage for a crime he didn’t commit. Perhaps you’re not aware of how fucked up a person can become after something like that. This man needed years of therapy. What he got instead were bullets.
Talk about a small minded thought, holy shit… How about you go and wrongfully spend 16 years in prison. You can’t draw similarities between another entirely different situation, they are not even closely the same. You’re being a big idiot with this “hot take”…
So you watched the video and made an imbecilic response. Irony so rich it cures anemia.
