How does this not fall under “Fruit of the poisoned tree”? The original conviction was in error, any charges stemming from the consequences of that conviction should also be in error. I hope she’s able to resolve this and get some part of her life back.
How does it make sense? She’s got 12 years to serve for what happened while serving 43 years for a crime she didn’t commit, that means she served 31 extra years already! And that’s not even giving her the benefit of the doubt that she could potentially have spent 0 years in prison had she not been incarcerated in the first place meaning that the 12 years aren’t her fault but the fault of the system that put her in prison even though she was innocent!
Seriously. She’s banked a little time. She should be able to commit a few minor crimes and use her credit.
She should be allowed to commit 1 nonviolent felony and 4 misdemeanors by my math. More if any of them are victimless.
Just a little crime. Ya know, as a treat.
I agree with all the other reasons this is fucked, but let’s all step back and have a shudder about this:
In 2015, after Holman’s death, authorities searched his house to find gold horseshoe-shaped earrings in a closet, which Jeschke’s father said he had given his daughter.
If dude had just thrown those earrings away she’d have had no hope of ever being released.
This is America
While i do agree with you, that is the correct word for it. Much like how if an Archeologists found the remains Caucasian people they would be called Caucasoid and Asian is called mongoloid.
A quick Google search tells me that the term is outdated and no longer used, having been refuted by modern genetics research.
I appreciate you letting me know. I will no longer use that word.
Asian is called mongoloid.
One archeologist to another: looks like this person was … happier than you and me.

I don’t get it.
It’s from a Devo song called Mongoloid.
It goes:
Mongoloid, he was a mongoloid
Happier than you and me
Hemme had a two-year sentence imposed July 16, 1984, and a 10-year sentence imposed October 24, 1996, that were both supposed to run consecutive to the murder sentence, which the court overturned in June. Both sentences were related to violence while in prison.
Are you fucking kidding me? She already served 43 years for a crime she didn’t commit. Now the AG’s office wants to keep her in prison for charges that occurred as a direct result of her incarceration, when she has already served more time than the sentences combined?!?
I can only assume that they’re looking for any possible excuse to keep her in because they’re afraid of the looming civil suit when they finally let her out.
This isn’t the first time I’ve see a story like this. I don’t remember the specifics but it was a man who was wrongfully convicted and then was attacked in prison. He wound up accidently killing the guy so now he’s stuck in prison even though he never should have been there in the first place. I tried googling the case but couldn’t find it among the sea of other wrongful convictions.
She doesn’t have to be out to sue. My guess is prison did the opposite of rehabilitate. And now because of it, she isn’t fit to be released. Which is even worse.
Whilst this was happening, someone had the thought that they could do something to stop this woman getting out of prison. That person would either need a specific reason, something to gain, or just be one of the smallest people/biggest cunts to ever grace the planet.
Wait a minute, if she gets released, people will know our prosecutors made at least one bad mistake two decades ago. I know, to prevent people from knowing this public information, I will prevent the release of this innocent person. That will surely safeguard the reputation of this office
if she gets released, people will know our prosecutors made at least one bad mistake two decades ago
And that might just start people thinking that the death penalty is barbaric. Can’t allow that to happen…
That poor girl. Lost her whole life to some nonsense. So sad. I wish I could do more to stop things like this from happening
