Man Wrongfully Convicted by Kamala Harris Speaks Out: 'She Just Laughed at Me'
A former prisoner who Kamala Harris was wrongfully convicted during her stint as a California prosecutor has blown the whistle on her record of locking up innocent men.
In 2007, Jamal Trulovem was sentenced to o 50 years in prison for the shooting of his friend Seu Kuka.
During that time, Trulovem was being prosecuted by the then-state District Attorney for San Francisco Harris.
However, Trulove was vindicated on appeal six years later and was awarded a $13.1 million settlement against the state of California.
The former prisoner said Harris “laughed” at him when he was convicted.
“We locked eyes this one time, and she laughed,” he said via the Daily Mail.
“She literally just, like, kind of busted out laughing. Almost as if she was pointing like, ‘ha-ha’, she didn’t point, but that’s how it felt.”
Trulove said he will be voting for former President Donald Trump in November, adding, If you’re wondering if I’ll be voting for Kamala ‘Laugh-and-Lie’ Harris, f*** no.”

Policed “framed “Trulove after Kuka was found dead one night in Oakland in 2007.
Officers Maureen D’Amico and Michael Johnson reprotley fabricated evidence, hid exculpatory material from Trolove’s defense team, and intimidated a witness.
He served time in maximum security prisons in southern California until 014 when a state appeals court granted him a chance for a new trial.
His ordeal became national news and ended up being the subject of the 2019 documentary “The Last Black Man in San Francisco.”
Following his release, the former inmate said he still experiences PTSD from his incarceration and blames Harris for using his life as a stepping stone on her way to the U.S. Senate.
“There’s nothing I could do to make up for that time I missed,” he wrote, NPR reported.
“No amount of money could ever reverse the time I missed with my kids and the affect that it’s had on [their] up bringing and our relationship.”
Trulove said it was disgusting that Harris treated Black men from the projects like him as if they were pawns on a political chessboard.
“People in the projects knew who she was because she was a black district attorney and we thought we had a black district attorney in office that was from Oakland,” he said.
“We would think that she would be a little more favorable to us.”
Law professor Lara Bazelon, who formerly directed the Loyola Law School Project for the Innocent in Los Angeles, called Harris’ actions “regressive” to prisoner rehabilitation.
“Most troubling, Ms. Harris fought tooth and nail to uphold wrongful convictions that had been secured through official misconduct that included evidence tampering, false testimony, and the suppression of crucial information by prosecutors,” Bazelon wrote in the New York Times.
