you're a brooklyn guy you go down to marksville i felt like my cousin vinnie i mean it was like country
00:00:09
okay [Music] i know the truth and no matter how many times they knock you down keep getting up
00:01:00
we were shocked and she told me you know you should take this case she basically
00:01:05
said you need to write him and it wasn't really a suggestion it was write him and that's what i did
00:01:13
[Music] it's over like he doesn't have any more appeals i was like nah that's not true
00:01:26
it's never true absolutely not we have no reason to lie why would we lie why would we let someone spend their
00:01:41
life in prison if we even had the slightest doubt that it wouldn't heal [Music] believe it or not
00:01:55
all night long we called him simmons he told us to call him simmons at trial they all say simmons simmons
00:02:05
the man told us his name was simmons what'd you think then i thought they were crazy
00:02:11
i actually thought they were crazy you mean to tell me i'm gonna do something to y'all and let y'all know my
00:02:17

00:02:32
they didn't say the name simmons no what name did they say they didn't give a name
00:02:47
so what did you say when they asked you to identify the man i said all blacks look alike
00:02:52
[Music] when you saw that line of photo what'd you think what i said this is crazy
00:03:10
nuts highly suggested when you put the cuffs on them you're telling them that's who we want
00:03:16
you to pick [Music] they call it the lineup it was a photo of the lineup after he was identified and placed in
00:03:31
cuffs but how do you know it was after because the girls told me that so when you picked him out of the lineup was he
00:03:37
wearing handcuffs no he was not not at all i mean we were scared of him and see i don't know why i didn't i mean
00:03:52
i think when i was here we were afraid of him there's no hairs no fibers no blood no sweat no semen there's nothing
00:04:02
vincent simmons is an innocent man who was railroaded by a racist system is it possible
00:04:10
