Oswald in the doorway: the blog of the Oswald Innocence Campaign, by Ralph Cinque

Another man has been released from prison after having been falsely convicted of murder. Tyrone Hood has spent the last 22 years in prison. He has three children, and he missed out on their childhoods. 

I watched this story about about it on Yahoo News, and incredibly, they didn't say a word about how it happened to him.

The state did this to him, and they reported it without explaining why or how? That's unbelievable in itself. 

So, I looked it up elsewhere, and I was able to get the facts, and they are bizarre. The victim was a college basketball player, Marshall Morgan Jr., and the real killer was his own father, Marshall Morgan, Sr., who had taken out a life insurance policy on him and then killed him for the money. 

The way Tyrone Hood got connected to it is that Morgan Sr., after killing his own son in his car, gathered up some trash and put it in the car, precisely to have stuff with other people's fingerprints on it to throw off police.  And the Chicago Police fell for that- even though there were fingerprints to multiple people who had no connection to the victim. The trash was taken from a high school trash can where Tyrone Hood worked as a janitor. 

What worsens this case is that after they locked up Tyrone Hood, Morgan went on to kill someone else, his girlfriend, who was his third victim. He had already killed someone in 1977 and had served time for it. And police knew about that in 1993 when his son was killed. And they knew about the life insurance policy. And even after he killed his girlfriend and got convicted for it, they still didn't re-look at the other case. And even as Hood's lawyers and lawyers for the insurance company who had paid Morgan were pleading with prosecutors to look at Morgan, they refused to do it.

"While the People concede that Morgan Sr. is a bad person and has committed crimes subsequent to Hood's trial, none of his crimes or bad acts connect him to the murder at issue here." That's what they said. 

There wasn't the slightest connection between the victim and Hood. There wasn't the slightest evidence of any motive. There was no gain to him. The victim was a complete stranger to him. They had no association whatsoever. It would have been just a random, pointless, meaningless, purposeless killing. 

Vincent Bugliosi says that, as a prosecutor, he doesn't have to establish motive, that he can convict someone without establishing the slightest motive.  Oh really, Vince? Well, this is the outcome of that.  

It makes you wonder why they didn't go with the motive they assigned and still assign to Oswald, that he killed Kennedy to be famous, to get attention, to obtain the importance that he longed for. Yeah, that's the ticket. Tyrone Hood was a loser; he hated the system; and this was his way of getting back and making his mark on the world. Isn't that pretty much the case against Oswald? Isn't that the only case against Oswald?  

And where does Yahoo News get off reporting this case without addressing the guilt of the State? And there was plenty to go around, from the police detectives, to the judge who convicted him, to the prosecutors who refused to reopen the case. 

Now, it is time to assess damages. How much is 22 years of a man's life worth? Can you even put a dollar value on it? 

So, do you think they got this case wrong but they got the Kennedy case right? Do you think Tyrone Hood was innocent while Lee Harvey Oswald was guilty? Is that what you think, Vincent Bugliosi????  Go to Hell, Vince.
