After 40 years, the court finally said: "You are innocent"and the judge handed him a blank sheet of paper 
This is the story of a poor boy named 'Ajamu,' who spent his entire youth in a dark prison cell. At just 17 years old, he was falsely accused of murder and sentenced to life in prison. All his dreams, his youth, and his laughter were buried behind those bars.
After 40 long years of suffering, the real killer was finally caught, and the law was forced to confront its terrible mistake.
When the now elderly Ajamu with white hair and trembling hands was brought before the court, the judge lowered his head in shame and held out a blank check, saying.
"There is no price for the time you lost, but write down whatever amount you wish on this, and the government will pay you immediately."
The entire courtroom fell into a pin-drop silence. A tear fell from Ajamu's eye and landed directly on the blank paper. He wrote no amount. He simply picked up the pen, and with trembling hands, wrote a single sentence before sliding the paper back to the judge.
"Your Honor, no amount of money can bring back my lost time. Just fix this justice system, so that no other Ajamu's youth is wasted in these dark prisons."
With that, he broke down in tears, and his pain brought everyone in the courtroom to tears as well.
The truth is justice that costs you your entire life is not justice at all it's a cruel joke.
