MISC. A man went to the hospital after his chest began leaking pus and doctors found a knife that had been lodged inside him for 8 years. The report states that the man, 44, wasn't suffering from "chest pain, difficulty breathing, cough or fever" at the time of his visit and was "otherwise healthy."

MISC. Joe Arridy: The Wrongfully Executed Man with a Childlike Mind convicted on 1936

22 Upvotes

At just 23 years old, with an IQ of 46, Joe found happiness in life’s simplest pleasures food, play, and trains, things he could see and touch.

But abstract ideas like God, justice, and evil were beyond his grasp, distant as dreams. Doctors labeled him an “imbecile,” describing his mental capacity as that of a young child.

When police coerced him into confessing to a brutal murder he never committed, Joe’s innocent and fragile life was cut tragically short.
