Comments
My question is, what about his wife and children's lack of financial stability after the incarceration of Emmerson Stevens? They have suffered greatly which there relatives including myself have witnessed in the face of this injustice. Do they not deserve some compensation for their pain, suffering and financial loss all those years. They never recovered from their traumatic experience or being treated as outcasts all those years. For your consideration.
It's a shame his children and myself weren't included in this bill. We were in both court cases with him, had to testified, we went through hell with all the late night calls and threats. Me and my children went to the parole board in his behalf. When he got out I gave him a place to stay, helped him get a job, get his license and took him to work every day until he got his own vehicle. It was his choice to leave, I wasn't the one he wanted but that should not have stopped him from helping us.
