Duryea Green was falsely arrested and charged, convicted and imprisoned for the attempted murder of two Baltimore teenagers. Two witnesses were pressured by police to identify Duryea as the shooter.Â
Sixteen years later, Green remains in prison as the COVID pandemic rages; furthermore, he is currently battling cancer and is thus vulnerable to the virus.
The corruption and racism manifest in the Baltimore Police Department is well documented in mainstream news. This heinous record includes not only a long history of racist murder, but also planting evidence, beating suspects, and paying witnesses to provide false testimony.
