Piotr spent nearly 22 years in a German prison for a crime he didn't commit

A Polish man named Piotr served nearly 22 years in a German prison for a murder that evidence later showed he did not commit. German courts have refused to acknowledge the miscarriage of justice despite clear evidence of his innocence. The German side reportedly argued that even if he did not commit the murder, "he was a bad person" and deserved a life sentence — something Piotr describes as a profound injustice.
