In 2014, filmmaker Jessica Villerius met death row inmate, Clinton Young, who had been convicted of a double homicide and became convinced of his innocence. Her documentary ‘Innocent on Death Row’ exposed the weakness of the whole case, proving the shootings could not possibly have taken place the way the prosecutor alleged. These and other new facts, including serious misconduct by the prosecution, led to Young’s execution being halted just 8 days before it was due to take place. He is granted a new trial and freed on given bail to await his new trial.
Clinton was 19 when he was imprisoned. He is now 38. After almost 20 years of solitary confinement, how do you adapt to life outside? In addition, the strict conditions of his bail prevent him from living in the same state as his family and even going to the supermarket across the road from his house. He’s terrified of making the slightest mistake and being sent back to prison. He’s free but not free.

This man is one among many on death sentence for a crime not committed..There are many BLACK HUMANS ON DEATH ROW AS INNOCENT MEN…
So glad he's free I new he was innocent. Good luck for the future Clinton stay strong .
If he is off deaths row,,??..He should have never been in the first place..
Wait a moment…Is he FREEE??
Oh my goodness…I am so happy for him…God bless his life….
Please my friend…Stay away from bad friends….They are no good….
Im sorry you went through all this America unjustified system corruptions….
It took foreigner to help you….Not even your own peoples from America… Shame on YOUR LAND AND GOVERNMENT…
I believe for every year this man spent in prison, he should receive $1000000 double exclamation
After the misconduct if the judge and prosecutors, his case should be dismissed with prejudice and the judge and prosecutors should be disbarred. They knew what they were doing.
Where would the justice system be today without intervention from civilians, they still double dealing and have their own agenda right to Dept Of Justice shame on them
“I’m not done yet!” I love it!
im really happy for clinton… incredible story .. made me cried
Imagine what would have happened if these wonderful women hadn't stepped in and had the faith that nobody else had in him. Love and luck in everything you all do restored my faith in humanity.
Unfortunately I could not see the entire programme as the adds came in every 5 min
Really moving story.
Dude is back in prison on another murder rap
You can't be strong and wrong. 3 day's away from the death penalty. Talk about psychological torture. No amount of money can justify wot the system has put that man through. I always wondered wot happened to him because I've been following his story. It's definitely a happy sad story all at the same time. You can't beat a true story
The system is truly broken. They wouldn't think twice about putting an innocent man back in prison. There still putting him through psychological torture with his conditions
What a lovely young man and a beautiful story 👌🏽 I’m only 36 minutes in but I’m excited for him and, thank you to everyone who helped this young man with his case 👏🏽🙏🏽❤️
What an amazing story. Thanks to all the people who worked to bring to the forefront. 👍👍
Where can I find more information about Clinton’s case ? I hope he is doing well and living his best life . May God shine all his blessings on him . And again a massive thank you to all those who helped him get through this tough ordeal . ❤️👏🏽🙏🏽😊
I've been following Clinton's story for a couple of years. I'm glad he got out, good for him!
OMG
WHAT STORY
ANYWAY
THANK GOD
Im so glad u guys went back and were able to see the next part of Clinton's story!!
Can you imagine how many others failed to find their angels.
Criminals are all innocent they say, why would you admit to something you didn't do.
He seems to be a bit ungrateful… Yet I have to remind myself he was jailed at 18, and lacks the social skills that real life provide. I'm sure that between wanting to appear "hard" in case he does go back, and being locked into a young mindset, it's difficult to express. His childlike smile says more than words…
I'm thankful there's people like them that go above and beyond to help when it seems a horrible injustice has occurred. Thank you all.
The ovaries on this woman; the only thing I can think of why they gave you the deal is because YOU'RE the killer. WOW.
Poor guy…he’s traumatized everytime he hear the sirens. I always knew he was innocent and there was something fishy about David.
Just imagine how many innocent people would have given anything for someone to listen to them, even if they had to wear a bracelet but never got or will get that chance. I do understand him though about how stressful that would be to be watched so closely and to fear getting re-arrested at any time and not even suspect it. It has happened to me, although I have never been in a situation as harsh as Clinton's. I wish I could find out what happened to that Page freak because those are the people that need to get convicted
I just can't understand how some people are ok with taking an inocent life. Do this people have family,kids etc. You work for the Law? But you are braking the law. by lying and doing everything to hurt a person. I am happy for Clinton and his family.
From my own understanding, you need to invest wisely, if you need the good things of life. so far i've made over $470k in raw profits from just q4 of the market from my diversified portfolio strategy and i believe anyone can do it you have the right strategy. mutual funds takes a while but investing wisely is the key for short term. Most of us pay more attention to the easy position in the market to the cost of proper diversification.
Awww, this guy ❤ now I’m outside appreciating the stars ❤
💛💛💛💛💛💛💛💛💛💛💛💛💛💛💛💛💛💛💛💛
A GIRL CAN GET ALOT MORE DONE IN A MAN WORLD.
LAW IS THE MANS CARREE
MY PERSONAL OPINION.
Dresses super sharp you can pull a lot things off .
NO LADY DONT HANG ALL OUT .
I got a judge too signed off something.
For a family member.
The world is a very bad place.
Fantastic 🎉
What an amazing story! I pray for each and everyone of you that Clinton gets the permanent freedom he rightfully deserves, with much love and prayers from Scotland UK ❤xx
someone PLEASE hook him up with a social worker who checks in at least twice a week and helps to transition him away from being institutionalized. the situation is great but precarious. in best case, he is granted to visit the social worker/psychologist away from his apartment in an office. he should be going to see a social worker the entire time he has to wear the ankle bracelet.
😮 wow
I say Mr. Young here will be put back in Prison very soon and executed by 2030. Very commendable of this very nice very beautiful hearted young lady from the U.K. Texas does not play with murderers in their State. Rightfully so they execute killers and in a professional manner. She at least has bought Clinton another decade of life very unselfish of her.
These results of this case and our government elections shows clearly it may not be possible to get a fair trial anywhere here in the states unless you end up in a constitutional state. It's sad that it takes a loudly squeaking wheel to get properly greased. It shouldn't take this with the facts shown.
12:20 👍
Just watching David's interview, you can tell by his body language he lying from the go.
That girl needs a husband. She hooking with killers.
Clinton Young was incarcerated on the same death row as Jeff Wood who has been sitting there since 1998 despite never killing anyone.
Under 2 or more witnesses can a person be given The Death Sentence.
A witness can be people or finger prints or DNA. Now we know that people are liars and can lie about a person but in a murder case if 2 or more people lie about a person and that person receives The Death Sentence, the lying witnesses need to know that if they lie and a person is Executed and it's found that the witnesses lied they too will receive The Death Sentence and Executed.
This is God Almighty telling us how to handle murderers and witnesses.
It seems like all these young beautiful Dutch ladies have a bit of an infatuation with Clint. Wonder if the feelings are mutual
He was arrested again and bailed for a second time after this video was filmed. Is there any current update on him?
This needs to reach the wider public. You can't use the death sentence with a flawed legal system. It just makes us murderers too.
What a story that was to watch amazing
