After 3 Trials, Memphis Prisoner Timothy McKinney Wins Freedom by Pleading Guilty to Crime He Denies

http://www.democracynow.org - In order to win his newfound freedom, Memphis death row prisoner Timothy McKinney had to plead guilty to a murder he maintains he did not commit. McKinney was initially convicted of first-degree murder and sentenced to death for the fatal shooting of police officer Don Williams in December 1997. McKinney appealed and won a new trial, which ended with a deadlocked jury. A third trial earlier this year also ended in a hung jury. As part of a plea deal that could set him free as early as today, McKinney pleaded guilty to second-degree murder. Since McKinney has spent almost 16 years in prison -- including 11 on death row. He is immediately eligible for release on time served. We're joined by The Nation magazine's Liliana Segura, who has extensively covered McKinney's case.

If you are black or brown and live in New York City, don't get caught dead without a camera or face extortion or arrest at the hands of corrupt cops with quotas. This brutal criminal crime syndicate sees blacks and Latinos as nothing more then animals that should be terrorized, extorted and caged for profit.
