From YouTube: Public Comment on Eric Riddick 6-14-2018
Description
From the Stated Meeting of Philadelphia City Council held Thursday, June 14, 2018.
Public comment relating to ongoing efforts to free Eric Riddick.
B
Regarding
my
son's
case,
it's
been
26
years
in
eight
months
of
injustice
in
my
son's
case
and
believe
it
or
not
in
all
the
thousands
of
thousands
of
others
behind
the
walls
who
have
not
received
justice
right
now
in
Philadelphia,
justice
is
in
season,
there's
a
movement
to
actually
pursue
and
introduce
legislation
to
change
some
of
the
old
antiquated
laws.
That's
on
the
books
that
keep
innocent
people
or
those
that
have
been
sentenced
excessively
with
life
sentences.
B
So
I
want
to
thank
everyone
again
in
City
Council,
for
joining
Councilman
o
in
this
resolution
and
having
this
resolution
pass.
I
hope
everyone
will
get
on
board
with
the
movement
of
justice
reform.
There's
a
lot
of
work
here
in
Philadelphia
has
to
be
done.
We've
taken
the
first
step
with
electing
someone
in
the
district
attorney's
office
that
can
make
a
change
a
most
necessary
change
here
in
Philadelphia
in
terms
of
the
laws
in
terms
of
those
that
are
employed
by
the
district
attorney.
B
That's
just
they're
receiving
a
paycheck
and
actually
not
doing
anywhere,
and
he
has
taken
the
first
steps
to
let
the
public
know
that
he's
trying
to
regain
the
trust
of
the
people
of
Philadelphia
by
making
the
necessary
horrors,
letting
go
those
that
just
sit
there
and
receive
a
paycheck
and
never
do
anything
in
terms
of
the
pursuit
of
justice.
So
again,
I
like
to
thank
everyone
in
City
Council,
not
just
for
my
son,
but
for
all
those
who
may
not
have
a
voice
and
hope
that
you
all
will
join
the
bandwagon.
