You're really trying to spin the corruption of Rikers as a universal fault of unions? Seriously?

Why does he need an ankle monitor if exonerated? Does exonerated not mean he's innocent?

That seems to be the reason. It looks like that he is being presumed guilty (maybe because he was found guilty) until the legal proceeds are concluded to reverse it.

You're right. It's a bad headline.

Realistically this guy probably is still a murderer. You can get off on a technicality, but that doesn’t mean you’re exonerated.

W- So the court system has admitted to making a mistake in imprisoning him and your view is “Nah he’s probably a murderer anyway”. What is wrong with you?

Wtf how does this have anything to do with unions? Please explain your thinking. I have got to hear this.

Could be worse. You could be exonerated after serving 26 yrs in prison only to die 14 months after your release.

Unaccountable evil bureaucracies, often captured by unions too.
Bust up the unions and then fire everyone obstructing, malingering, or failing to do their job.
