i saw the video and it was a clear case of the black man being wrong from when he drove in such a manner to be pulled over and all that transpired thereafter;
Most headlines reported only that the police killed the man. The implication was that the shooting was unjustified.
- “Black Man Wrongfully Imprisoned For 16 Years Shot, Killed By Georgia Police,” Huffington Post, October 17, 2023
- “Exonerated man who spent 16 years in prison on wrongful conviction shot dead by Georgia deputy during traffic stop,” Washington Examiner, October 18, 2023
- “Georgia deputy kills Black man freed from prison after exoneration,” Reuters, October 17, 2023
- “Leonard Allan Cure, freed after wrongful conviction, is shot dead in a traffic stop,” NPR, October 18, 2023
His mother said she had lived in fear ever since his release.
I was uneasy every time he left because I was like, ‘Will he get a traffic stop? Is he going to be a victim of that? From the time that he was released, he was never set free. Lived in constant fear. . . Is this going to be the day that they’re gonna lock him up, beat him up, or kill him? I lived with that. That is torture.
Police-car footage suggested a much simpler story.......more.....
