#ABCNLPrime #Hertz #OverturnedConviction
That's unacceptable of them.
…"failed to produce"…. srsly? they ignored and neglected sevral subpoenas over years in this case and tried to lie at the end of this clowfiesta that those datas are deleted
and they didnt promptly provide it… weeks before they gave out the data their own lawyers stated that those data do not exist
On what evidence did they find him guilty if he was innocent? The system is unjust.
Whats sad is they done nothing or said nothing at all when they demanded the records from Hertz multiple times.
WTF!? …I would like to the know iwhat evidence did they use to actually convict him!?
Please BOYCOTT Hertz! This can only happen. to a POC. In no white person's world would something happen like this. It is disgusting. The fact that something so outrageous like this can happen is sickening- 5 years and no one cared to do a damned thing about it.
I think the prosecution and/or police had something to do with hertz “ losing his receiptâ€Â.
Hertz needs to be exposed and boycotted.
…………. stop the race-baiting ……. good friggin grief ……….. you're talking BS and speculation ……… it seems like it was a mistake. Yes – Hertz make a MISTAKE and will pay up ……… quit trying to make it bigger than it is ……….
Boycotting Hertz. Also, fu-k those jury members.
I Hope He Gets Millions Hertz Company Is DIRTY
what.about video of him being there
They need to pay something, but the lawyer using racism is stupid. Happens to Brown's and white all the time too. It's black privelage for making the news if anything.
Lesson: go to the office, sit down and wait for help at Hertz. Emails, voicemails and letters sometimes does not work.
GTFOH search technology or what the hell ever wasn’t the issue here in 2011 boyyyy they big lying!!! There are forensic data analysis now, they can see whether or not any searches were done in 2011. This will be an easy win. They’ll settle quietly.
Fk Hertz
So they didn't interview the worker or see surveillance?!
Nope, he better get paid
Everything I did on paper I take pictures in save in my emails or my google accounts because people are awful
Shame on Hertz for blowing him off and enabling the system wheels of injustice to send an innocent man to prison and taking a loving father away from his young kids! I hope his life will be better and they will find healing and some resolution for what happened. 💙
This is sad 😥! How come the credit card didn't have a record of the transfer if Hertz was dragging?
How could he been convicted if he wasnt there in the first place? The police did a bad job. The prosecutor did a bad job.
Sadly Hertz did a bad job too. But Hertz is not the problem here. The justice system is.
You should keep all your bills and receipts. Business people do that all the time. Normally for 7 years.
Lawyer did not do enough!
I will never rent a car through Hertz again. If they don't care about someone's life enough to find a stinkin' receipt, then I don't want to deal with them. This man was forced to lose five years with his family because of their indifference. Not to mention that the killer is still out there somewhere and the family of the murder victim still doesn't have justice after all this time. I hope he wins in court.
The uncovered van extremely push because show internally fix outside a cowardly swiss. knowledgeable, ragged oboe
So I guess their tax records is in bad favor..Filing taxes on their businesses..
Hertz owes this man and his family, everything! I hope everyone in that Hertz office dies of Covid. Instant Karma
Hertz needs to be history.
Hertz needs to be held responsible. That's wicked!! What nonsense. Why didn't the judge hold Hertz accountable. So, how was he convicted? What evidence did they have other than his rap sheet and description?
He deserves 10 million dollars.
that excuse from Hertz is complete BS, if it was maybe 1980s or early 90s yeah, but 2000 no way.
Hertz's tech people must be incompetent beyond belief.
So what evidence was used to convict him in court, if he clearly wasn't there? Not having an alibi should not automatically mean he's guilty.
Hertz MUST compensate this man for the years he spent unlawfully incarcerated because of their incompetence and failure to respond.
This is absolutely appalling- this innocent man spent 5 years in jail for no reason. I hope he sues them OUT of business. Just disgusting, infuriating and criminal! 😡
So sad so sorry ðŸ™ÂðŸÂ¾â¤ï¸Â

Instead of focusing on the DA or the system.
He could sue them for every day he was in prison. Even if he loses? The company would lose more they would settle out of court. Make him their priority public relation issue.
Thou Hertz took three fucking years to find a receipt (WTF) how was an innocent man found guilty? Wasn't there footage of rental place? Witnesses who worked or picked up car around the same time? Seriously his shitty public defender is just as bad as the rental place! I hope he get 5 million tax free. It won't replace his time or his life but it will help make it easier.
Bet if he was the CEO of Hertz, they'd have found that receipt within hours, not years!
That alone is a good reason to go to Enterprise.
