I just watched a program on this -

This single individual has ruined the lives of so many people. It was so patently bleeding obvious Tom Coleman is a liar.
I'm flabberghasted that this could even get remotely close to going to court, let alone result in 800 years of prison sentences.
The alleged Mr Big lives in a wooden shack with no lighting. He collects and crushes (underfoot) old tin cans. He plead guilty because he didn't stand a chance....he knew it.
I'm not knocking the US judicial system per se...
But how can travesties of justice on this scale happen in a country as advanced as the USA?
I'm stunned, not a single shred of evidence....just the words of one man.
EDIT. I know it was 1999 but the program didn't elaborate on any changes made, and 4 years isn't so long ago.
