A Tennessee man who served 31 years in jail for a crime he didn't commit is petitioning the state to compensate him $1 million for the years of his life that were taken away. All he's gotten so far is $75.

In October 1977 a Memphis woman was raped in her home by two intruders. She later identified one of them as her neighbor, Lawrence McKinney, who was 22 at the time. He was convicted on rape and burglary charges in 1978 and sentenced to 115 years in jail.

DNA evidence cleared him of the charges in 2008, and when he was released in 2009, the Tennessee Department of Corrections gave him a $75 check to restart his life.

"Because I had no ID it took me three months before I was able to cash it," McKinney told CNN.
Now the 61-year-old is asking Tennessee Gov. Bill Haslam to exonerate him. The Tennessee Board of Parole, which makes recommendations to the governor, denied McKinney's request by a 7-0 vote at a hearing in September.

Board voted against McKinney's exoneration

A formal exoneration could open a pathway to $1 million in compensation from the state Board of Claims for the decades McKinney was wrongfully imprisoned.

"The (parole) board reviewed all relevant information related to the crime, conviction and subsequent appeals, as well as all information provided by the petitioner," said Melissa McDonald, spokesperson for the Tennessee Board of Parole. "After considering all of the evidence, the board did not find clear and convincing evidence of innocence and declined to recommend clemency in this matter."

'I just want to be treated right and fair'

Since his release, Hunn said, McKinney has worked hard to put his life back together and salvage the time he has left. In 2010 he married a pen pal with whom he corresponded during his time in jail. The two attend Immanuel Baptist Church in Lebanon, Tennessee, where McKinney participates in a Bible study five nights a week and where he has found a supportive community that has rallied around him time and time again.

"Although I've spent more than half of my life locked up for a crime I did not do, I am not bitter or angry at anyone, because I have found the Lord and married a good wife," McKinney said. "All I ask is that I be treated right and fair for what has happened to me. I didn't do nothing, and I just want to be treated right."

Francis Odega has finally reacted to allegation of beating and sending his wife away alongside their daughter, as reported on news platforms days ago.

Recall that one of Odega’s in-laws few days ago revealed he almost raped her sometime, beats his wife and doesn’t bring anything home. Her post read in parts;

“One faithful night, I was home sleeping and my sister was at the hospital, Mr Odega came home and tried to rape me and I managed to run out of the house. So many times he has beaten my sister to the point that she will have to wake up at the hospital and each time all he will say is that my family will do nothing, that we don’t even have money to make any case with him.

Most times he locks her outside overnight and most times he will embarrass her in public by calling her name, stripping her naked, accusing her of so many things. So this year, he sent her packing with her daughter, the only child they both have, but he has refused to pay her school fees. As for my sister, she wants nothing to do with him again because the embarrassment is too much.

He sleeps with the girls working for her. Even in the house they lived, he slept with a married woman and the husband saw them and sent the wife away. I can go on and on.I want Nigerians to help us tell this man to pay her daughters school fees that’s all. Attached is a video of when he beat my sister and sent her packing after locking her out for two nights.”

However Francis Odega who reacted to the allegation of beating and sending his wife away, wrote as he shared his video ‘For those of you judging me without hearing my own side of the story, this is the little I can say for now. Am ara here…’

Here is his video below;

Controversial actress Tonto Dikeh may have opened a new chapter in her life as she took to her social media page this morning to preach on the word of God.

In her Sunday sermon, the actress wrote on taking God at his word and also acting on the word of God as His word never fails.

Read her sermon in full:

Good morning beautiful people of God, Here’s (ROR) *TAKE HIM AT HIS WORD.* *As for God, his way is perfect: the word of the LORD is tried: he is a buckler to all those that trust in him (Psalm 18:30).* One of the things that you have to learn to do, as a Christian, is to take God at His Word and act on His Word. There’re lots of Christians who probably have never been taught to do this.

Many, somehow, have learnt to disbelieve God from the experience of their environment. We live in a world where we’re exposed to all kinds of materials and information that tend to instil doubt, fear and unbelief.

For example, when children grow up in an environment where people generally don’t keep to their word, it affects their mentality. Imagine a society where politicians are known to make promises which they never keep; such an environment will breed people who find it difficult to trust, and believe anything. People have increasingly lost faith in words; words have increasingly lost meaning, because not many understand the integrity of words.

But it’s not so with God. His Word has integrity. His Word is infallible; you can stake your life on it.

He said in Isaiah 55:10-11, *“For as the rain cometh down, and the snow from heaven, and returneth not thither, but watereth the earth, and maketh it bring forth and bud, that it may give seed to the sower, and bread to the eater: So shall my word be that goeth forth out of my mouth: it shall not return unto me void, but it shall accomplish that which I please, and it shall prosper in the thing whereto I sent it.”* It makes no difference the crisis you might be facing in life; trust, and act on the Word.

Maybe it’s a health situation; the Word guarantees your divine health. There’s no need to cry and beg God for healing; He already gave you something better than healing—His life in you; Christ in you.

That’s your right and assurance for divine health. Romans 8:10 says, *“…if Christ is in you, although your body be dead because of sin, the Spirit gives it life because of righteousness.”* Train your spirit to trust God and take Him at His word.

She was however countered by her followers as some called her an absolute hypocrite.

A Nigerian lady, Arike Ade took to social media to reveal what he did to an ungrateful man who gave her N2k to help prepare Egusi soup.

According to her, the man gave her N2k to prepare Egusi and additional N1k to cook stew, but she ended up spending more than the amount she was given at the market.

When she returned from the market, the man inspected all the items she bought hoping to detect some kind of fraud.

She wrote:

Lemme give y’all one gist like that.

But before then, let me state something.

Before now, I use to have no reservations about going to help a guy cook.

Like, it used to be a normal thing for me.

But now,…

Anyways, this dude asked me to help him cook Egusi soup and gave me 2k. Plus transportation.

When I was about leaving to the Market, he added 1k and said I should cook stew too..

I got to the market and ended up spending 4k plus tfare.

I used chicken and beef.

Now, guy had stove. And I am used to gas already. So the cooking was really stressful.

Next thing, guy came into the kitchen and started inspecting everything I bought.

And asking the price. Down to Maggi.

‘How much chicken? How much meat.? How much oil. How much groundnut oil.You didn’t price this meat well? Is this two cups of Egusi? Looks kinda small.

All these he said with a tone that suggested I probably was trying to cheat him.

On top my stress and extra one thousand I added.

Not like we are even that close like that or you’re even paying me.

I didn’t say anything o.

When I finished, I took plastic plates and packed the food inside. Both soup and stew. Put it inside nylon.

Went to the room and gave him 3500 and went home with the food.

The 500 extra was for his plates and kerosine and kitchen space I used.

Dude sent me a text that I was a wicked girl and i lacked training and I don’t have the patience to keep a man..

E concern me?

On a normal day, I wouldn’t even do that. Ill just come home and rant to my friends But that day, something in me just hahwhjahsus.
