The spirit of “a Black guy did it” lived on long after Chuck Stuart. From Susan Smith, the white South Carolina woman who drove her two kids into a lake, to the Florida case of Crosley Green, a Black grandfather who was briefly freed by a judge who agreed his three decades behind bars was a racial hoax, white suspects have sought to use stereotypes about Black criminality to fool the public. The employment of this tired trope goes beyond crime and punishment, especially in an America soaking in an ugly backlash against a record of uneven progress on diversity in the six decades since the passage of the Civil Rights Act.

#ExoneratedAgain: 44 years in prison for a crime he did not commit…The Chief of Police and County Sheriff inexplicably removed nearly all of the Black potential jurors ... No physical evidence tied Long to the rape and burglary… and the prosecution’s main piece of evidence — the victim’s identification of Long weeks after the attack — was the product of a suggestive identification procedure arranged by the police to target Long, who did not match her original description
Numerous pieces of forensic evidence that could have helped exonerate Long, including 43 fingerprints and a suspect hair collected at the crime scene, none of which were from Long, were tested by investigators but not disclosed, and officers with the Concord Police Department gave false testimony about the evidence at trial... a rape kit collected at a local hospital and provided to the Concord police went missing and has never been found.

#ProsecutorialMisconduct: “He has to get hooked up to a chemo machine every two weeks.”
The failures that for decades defined, constrained and robbed Simmons’s life — racial bias, inadequate representation, police misconduct — are familiar ones in sagas such as his.
