Story Of Exonerated Man Returning To Works Gets Backlash
A news story that was supposed to play the heartstrings of readers is leaving a sting in comments when ABC ran the updated story on exonerated, falsely accused Nevis Coleman returning to work. Coleman was released from prison back in November 2017, after spending 23 years there for a crime he didn’t commit. Forensic testing had confirmed that Coleman and another man serving life sentences in Illinois for a 1994 murder-rape were not connected to the crime. In fact, the DNA was linked to a known serial rapist.
So why is this man returning to work??? The court system robbed him of 23 years!
Reportedly, Coleman’s friends and family reached out to the White Sox after his release. Sports Illustrated says Coleman is scheduled to return to the baseball field Monday.
The team says it is grateful “justice has been carried out” and thrilled to welcome Coleman “back to the White Sox family.”
Whyyyy haven’t they reached out to lawyers? Twitter wasn’t feeling this propaganda…

Hit the flip for reactions.
This is a nice story but, if you do 23 years for a crime you didn't commit, YOU SHOULD NEVER HAVE TO WORK AGAIN. https://t.co/SdUDix66or

I'm glad he got his old job back but he should not need to work. The State needs to give him enough money to live on for the rest of his life. It's the least they can do after robbing this man of the last two decades. https://t.co/Ns1keUidMH

The state should see that this man not have to work another day in his life. Such a horrible thing to have happen to someone.
