Man jailed after clerical error kept him free for 13 years (1 Viewer)

[DiStefano]

There's not a day goes by I don't feel regret. Not because I'm in here, because you think I should. I look back on the way I was then: a young, stupid kid who committed that terrible crime. I want to talk to him. I want to try to talk some sense to him, tell him the way things are. But I can't. That kid's long gone, and this old man is all that's left. I got to live with that. Rehabilitated? It's just a bull#### word. So you go on and stamp your form, sonny, and stop wasting my time. Because to tell you the truth, I don't give a ####.

It was a dream.

Maybe it's not?

This man almost certainly would not have ended up contributing to society if he had been placed in jail for 13 years.
