    16 KB Man freed after nearly 29 years for rape he didn't commit Anonymous 05/06/10(Thu)23:36 No.858655  
    CLEVELAND - The judge who set Ray Towler free tearfully wished him well with an Irish blessing.

    His attorneys handed him $1,500 in credit cards to buy whatever he needed.

    The media gave him more than ample opportunity to spew venom at a justice system that locked him away for nearly 29 years for a rape he didn't commit.

    But all Towler really wanted yesterday, on his first day of freedom, was to eat big slices of gooey pizza and hug a small group of family and friends.

    "I know some people might expect me to feel bitter about this, but I feel blessed, truly blessed, to have this chance at life," said the 52-year-old Cleveland native between bites of cheese, pepperoni, sausage and green peppers. "I just wanted the sun to come up this morning, and it did. And it was nice to walk in the sunshine outside the prison walls."

    The soft-spoken Towler, who was proved innocent by DNA testing, was declared a free man yesterday in Cuyahoga County Common Pleas Court by Judge Eileen A. Gallagher and officially released from the Grafton Correctional Institution.

    Towler was serving 12 years to life for rape, felonious assault and kidnapping for an abduction on May 24, 1981. The victims, a 12-year-old girl and 13-year-old boy, said a man lured them into the woods at the Rocky River Reservation in Cuyahoga County. The victims could not be reached for comment. DNA testing proved that semen found in the girl's underwear didn't match Towler.

    No need for that,

    >Towler plans to file a civil suit against the state, and he is likely to receive at least $1.4 million for being wrongly convicted. That figure could go much higher when lost wages are factored in.

    He may get $1.4 million dollars if he wins, more than enough to start a new life. And I hope he wins his case, as there are many others who do not get this type of compensation when they get out of prison because of a wrongful/unsafe conviction.

    29 fucking years. I would sue the children, who are now adults for wrongly ruining my reputation, false imprisonment, and whatever his wages and what not would have been if he worked the same job he likely had before he was arrested.

    The kids didnt send him to jail. The state did.

    The kids were victims of a terrible crime.

    He was a victim of the state.

    Fuck him, he's a nigger, odds are he would have ended up chimping out over something and gotten locked up anyway. All niggers should be preemptively imprisoned.

    What the fuck was he going to be doing outside of prison anyways? It was inevitable that since he is a nigger, he would have been incarcerated at some point in his life. big fuckin' deal. now he's got $1500 to go and spend on hoodies and nigger style tennis shoes.

    Like they said, he had every chance in the world (and was probably very much egged on by the media) to spew hate about what was done to him (and who could blame him if he had?) But he didn't. He has every right to be the angriest most bitter person in the world, but instead he looks forward to the future and is thankful for the chance to start over.

    What a classy guy. I wish him the best. (And a shitpile of money from the state).
