the pro-Trump news. Guys, listen. Everybody knows by now Kamala Harris was a tough as nails
0:45
prosecutor. In fact, she was so tough she prosecuted people over simple marijuana possession
0:51
It's crazy stuff, right? Well in the case of this one man, his name is Jamal Truelove. He's now an
0:58
actor. He's a celebrity now but he wasn't at the time he was prosecuted by Kamala Harris's office
1:06
and Kamala Harris actually showed up the day he got sentenced to life in prison for ending the
1:11
life of somebody else. There's just one problem. He didn't do it. An innocent man was sent to prison
1:19
for life. Now years later that got overturned and he was freed and justice was done but he was put
1:26
behind bars for life for a crime he didn't commit by Kamala Harris's office and she was there
1:32
on the day he got sentenced. Maybe to apply pressure, I don't know. Maybe just to celebrate
1:39
the fact that she got a life sentence for this innocent man and now he's telling his story. I
1:44
want you to hear it. It's a very short clip and then I want you to let me know what you think
1:49
in the comments. The district attorney of San Francisco Kamala Harris appeared in the courtroom
1:54
during your trial twice. Yeah, the two times that Kamala Harris showed up to my trial was
2:02
the when I got convicted and also when they laid down the sentencing. When you saw her on the day
2:12
that the verdict was handed down, did you take that as a bad sign? It felt to me that she was
2:18
well aware about my case and she was there to set her presence, almost take pride in getting a conviction
2:35
When I put in my appeal, the people that's fighting against my appeal to keep the conviction
2:41
is the attorney general's office. I learned it reading their reply to my appeal and you
2:49
see Kamala Harris's name at the bottom and now it's starting to feel a little personal
2:55
When you win the $13.1 million, it's a massive settlement. Did you feel like that was enough
3:00
There's not an amount that could get back those seven years, well six and a half years that I
3:08
spent in prison. But instead of me coming home feeling like I was a victim, I wanted to prove
3:14
that I'm a survivor and I will not let my story go unheard. You know, I'm not necessarily saying
3:22
I'm looking for an apology, but some acknowledgement from her that she could have messed up
3:28
would be, of course, that'd be huge. You could have made some mistakes. You could have missed
3:33
some things. For me, it was a big miss. You know, I had life in prison
