Man spends over 2 Decades in prison wrongly

Unless you live in the Buffalo area you may not know about Anthony Capozzi. I personally do not know him either but I feel sorry for the torture he has endured. To make a long story short Anthony was convicted of 2 rapes over 20 years ago. Just today the State of New York proved using DNA evidence that they convicted the wrong person of these rapes.

So any normal person would think they would let him out today. If you think that you are totally wrong, he may have to spend 30 more days in prison for a crime he did not commit 22 years ago. According to a media source in the area that spoke with a Judge they are trying to expedite the process but the earliest he believes Anthony will be released is Monday which is 6 days away.

You may think that I have gone overboard by using the word torture to describe the treatment Anthony went through but I can not think of a better word. This man is innocent you know it I know it the State knows it but they are still going to keep him locked up in a cell. If I kept you locked in a room for 6 days I would be charged with kidnapping and probably a bunch of other crimes, the State of New York does it and they call it wrapping up paperwork not to mention the 22 years this man had to spend locked behind steel bars and concrete.

I don't know about you but I think that someone should be punished for this crime against Anthony. As you and I know nothing will come from this except some press, I would make a bet that no one will even lose their job.
