A touching story of the man who was done wrong the most by the justice system?

 



Richard A. Jones was picked out of a lineup of potential robbers 20 years ago.


He was 25 at the time and had two daughters.


The problem? He didn’t commit the crime.


Incredibly, he met a man in prison who was nearly identical in appearance to him and also had the same first name. Inmates kept confusing the two for each other.


Richard Jones on the left and Richard Amos on the right.


It turned out Amos was the one who actually committed the robberies. Richard spent 19 years behind bars for a crime he didn’t commit.


He got out at 42 and is now suing for $1.2 million in damages. You can only hope he gets his money

The greatest and worse mystery of all time?

This story is one of the craziest and most absurd mysteries ever seen and known. In 1959, 69 black adolescents (ages 13 to 17) were locked inside a dormitory at the Industrial School for Negro Boys in Wrightsville. A mysterious fire occurred at night while they were sleeping. 21 of them died and 48 managed to escape by tearing the metal mesh from the windows. It is the worst fire record ever recorded in Arkansas history. The guys got engaged for a variety of reasons. Some were orphans or homeless. Others were there for petty crimes. A boy named William Piggee rode a white boy's bike despite his mother saying he was fine. "The science of crime scene preservation existed in 1959. Yet the very morning these children were murdered, they were dismantling the entire scene with hoses and rakes and shovels. They were tearing it apart as if they were trying to cover something up." ," said Frank Lawrence, whose brother (Lindsey Cross) died in the fire.
