#Repost @innocenceproject with @make_repost ・・・ “That guy put us away for years for a crime that everyone knows we did not commit.”—Marvin Reeves __ Marvin Reeves spent 18 years in prison after he and his co-defendant Ronald Kitchen were wrongfully convicted in 1991 for the arson murder that killed two women and three children in their Chicago apartment building. __ They became suspects after a jailhouse informant named Willie Williams contacted a Chicago Police officer and claimed that Kitchen had admitted to committing the crime with Reeves during a phone call Williams made to him from jail. __ Telephone records indicated that no such call had been made on the dates Williams claimed. Nevertheless, police arrested Kitchen, and interrogated him for 16 hours, led by, Detective Michael Kill, an underling of Commander Jon Burge, who would be fired in 1993 for engaging with Kill and others in the systematic torture of scores of black criminal suspects. __ After hours of abuse and torture, Kitchen signed a confession implicating Reeves. Reeves was subsequently convicted of the murders in 1991 and sentenced to life in prison. __ Both men were finally exonerated in 2009. Since then, Reeves has been instrumental in convincing Illinois lawmakers to fix the jailhouse informant system with a new law, which passed towards the end of 2018. #jailhouseinformants __ Read more by clicking the link in our bio.
