> That led the state hospital’s attorney to have a police detective take Spriestersbach’s fingerprints. They didn’t match the ones they had on file for Castleberry. Officials also compared photos of the two men — again, not a match.
This is more than infuriating, that in the two years that Spriestersbach was wrongfully held, they never thought of matching fingerprints, or even photos? IANAL but the lack of such a basic level of background check like this is criminal.

- iJohnDoe 5y agoThis is also peculiar because they could have rubbed his nose in it after hearing him saying he was the wrong guy for the hundredth time with, “See this photo, this is you!” “Oh, wait. Shit!” I’m guessing this did occur at some point behind the scenes and it caused them to cover it up even more.
