    Only slightly the same thing nowhere near the same but… A story I feel the need to share. One time I got arrested over a petty little warrant. Over a broken windshield. Guilty. I was an idiot letting it go to warrant. My only defense is I was a fucking stupid ass 22-year-old. This happened at like 1:00 in the morning like 20 years ago. We didn’t have a working phone so I couldn’t call home but as soon as I was getting arrested my friend that was with me said he would go talk to my mom and get my bail taken care of.

    Less than 45 minutes after I got there the bus that was supposed to pick people up and take them to county showed up and they said… Well nobody’s got you in this amount of time we’re sending you to county.

    And then for 3 days… They fucking lost me. My mom made my bail like 20 minutes after they bussed me away. But I was in there for 3 days because somehow in the system they couldn’t figure out where the fuck I had been sent.

    When they finally found me they didn’t even take me all the way home even though it was only less than a mile from the original police station. They insisted that was the farthest they would go. One more fucking mile on a main road.

    This post is all over the place?

    They are “blocking the release”, but a judge did overturn the conviction?

    I haven’t clicked the link yet before getting confused, but I feel like this post is giving mixed signals.

      They’re appealing the ruling. And so they want to keep him in prison until that’s done. Which is ridiculous.

      Are you actually asking this question? Do you really have difficulty figuring out whether or not there are two different stories, or if the person in the story changed genders overnight?

      The article (that you didn’t read) references the story about the exonerated woman you are thinking of, so not only is this a remarkably stupid question, but the article you are responding to includes the answer…
