Michael Blair's Time In Prison Case Study

Falsely accused people have been serving valuable time in prison for crimes they did not commit, and the reason for this issue is the fact that the justice system does not try as hard as they could to prove someone innocent. Two people in particular have experienced this horrible issue, Michael Blair, and Victor Burnette. Both of these guys have served an extreme amount of time in prison for crimes they did not commit, and here’s the case details in both of them. Michael Blair was faced with multiple charges and years in prison for something he did not do. First Blair would be faced with a really long time in prison for capital murder. Wednesday, Blair was charged with capital murder because of the death of Ashley Nicole Estell, who was abducted on Sept. 4 from a crowded park in Plano, Texas
First off, even though people told him he was in the clear he was not. "They said, `You are in the clear, nothing to worry about,"' he said. "But they are digging deeper and deeper. This don't sound like I'm in the clear. I know I'm in the clear because I'm innocent." (McFarland). From this, the audience sees how stressful all of this is for Blair when people are telling him that he’s good yet the cops are going deeper and deeper into the investigation. Second off, even though Blair was exonerated, he would still face life in prison. Even if Blair gets the new trial and is cleared for the murder in 1993, he will still probably spend the rest of his life behind bars because of four life sentences for child sex crimes that he admits in 2004 (Hundley). So in the end he still ends up serving a life sentence, so even tho he was found innocent he will still be in prison. Michael Blair was not the only one who served a lot of jail time for a crime that he did not commit, Victor Burnette knows this feeling all too
