I am calling for the release of Marquis Thomas, my brother. He is in SCI Smithfield prison and has just been convicted and sentenced to life for a crime he did not commit. His ex girlfriend lied on him and we even have paperwork saying it was his ex girlfriends father who abused the kids. We have transcripts saying the grandfather did this. Marquis and our lawyer have the paperwork but the DA said they don't care. Please help my family. He's innocent and is being racially profiled in Montgomery county. He has no record, no history and no motive. This could be the biggest case in the United States if it gets out. We also have autopsy reports and records indicating this was not a homicide. During trial the autopsy person said the child's death was due to cpr. We also have assumption and hearsay in this case. Which is wrong. Hearsay was thrown out in Pennsylvania in July 2020. His ex coached her son to lie on my brother. Also the jury was deadlocked on first degree murder. We overheard the judge tell someone that they need first degree. He also told the jury to go for a walk after a few jurors passed out and could not decide. He then told them to deliberate on third degree murder since they are hung on first but 30 minutes later they came back with first degree. They set my brother up. He is innocent sitting in prison for a crime he did not do. Please help us Thank you.

Thank you for bringing this story to light. This is an empowering journey of a triumph of right over injustice. Focus in the face delusion, and how truth can and will outshine any justice. ..no matter how long it takes!

With an absolute transcendent performance from LaKeith Stanfield which totally makes up for the fact the film is a little underwritten. This follows the true story of Colin Warner just another to fall victim to persecution only dude to the way he looks. One thing leads to another wrong time wrong place scenario Colin finds himself wrongly convicted of murder, the type of crime Colin is not capable of. Nevertheless he is faced with a rather lengthy prison sentence for a crime he truly did not commit. You can only imagine before this film what it really may look like to have to endure prison knowing or a fact you don't belong there. His best friend Carl King knows the facts and devotes his life to somehow fins a way to prove Colin's innocence. Here we see yet another powerfully touching role here played by former cornerback in the NFL Nnamdi Asomugha believe it or not. Only having a few acting credits himself his performance was rather impressive and really personifies what it really means to be 'Best friends for life.' I also love the fact that the film really makes an effort to focus on the broken prison system exclusively as opposed to racial tones as at this point it's been shown so much racism is to be assumed at this point. Also shows great insight on the connection to the brokenness in also the judicial system and flat out Policing in general. The question remains if Carl has what it takes to find this 'Needle in a haystack' solution and can Colin survive a hell hole while living with the fact he shouldn't be there disallowing him to just fall in line.

This movie is worth the watch! Awesome cast, great acting! I really felt i was back in BK.

Lakeith Stanfield played wrongfully convicted Colin Warner who spent 21 years in prison for a murder he didn't commit. But what made this movie different to me was his best friend KC played by the very handsome and talented Namdi Asomugha and his wife Antoinette. KC spent 20 years trying to prove the innocence of his friend. He took out loans he couldn't afford for attorneys, his wife left him, and he even learned how to be a court processor so he could take that on as a second job and meet attorneys who could him help his friend. It worked. The commitment and loyalty to his friend was touching, and Namdi was so believable in this role. Antoinette has been a childhood friend but they never dated until Colin was already in prison for many years. They married there and had a child. She continued to investigate and fight along with KC and the new lawyer until they finally able to get him freed. The kid that actually did the murder was freed after 9 years. Colin served 21 and might have served longer as he kept maintaining his innocence and the parole board didn't want to hear that. This was a great movie. I'm usually not for the content in my entertainment but the storytelling of this one was incredible and the acting superb.

A very moving true story of a young Trinidadian young man and the Brooklyn Police Department.

Once again, the enormous weaknesses of a country's judicial and prison system are demonstrated. Once again, it is clear the level of poverty and misery of several black families, which survive as means of drug distribution in many cases. According to a statistic that appeared at the end of the film, there are more than 2.5 million convicts in the United States, of whom an estimated 120,000 are innocent. Imagine an innocent sentenced to life imprisonment, who returns the life lost in prison? That, if it is finally proven innocent, which does not always seem very likely. The plot of this film is a sharp nail to assimilate for those who proclaim the existence of another pleasant and unreal environment. Tyrannies and dictatorships without mercy are condemned, something very fair, but criticism of the imperfections of the so-called democracy is not accepted, it is scary to speak about it when it comes to gross violations of human rights. Congratulations to the director and the rest of the team that made this movie.
