Hello
I have read this remarkable story of persaverance, loyalty alway giving even though the other person cannot give anything back. I am a soldier and minister I would like to share his testemony with our youth maybe he and his wife would give their testamony here at Christ Gospel Church in Tacoma Washington you have my permisson to send my email address for correspondance.

Thank You, Robert

Thank you for this uplifting story. Thank you also for following up with the victim to get her reaction, even though it is apparently misguided. I would also be interested in hearing what the judge who convicted him has to say. Why did he convict this guy and lock him up for 40 years when Mr. Cage had an alibi?

What a wonderful love story. This is such an inspiring story – for Dean not to be bitter, and Jewel to have such loyalty. It would have been human to let anger eat them up – but instead they are a wonderful example for all of us. Thank you for sharing this story. I will remember it when I am disturbed by the minor things that happen in my life.

Great inspiration of hope but I wonder how many other "Deans" are wrongly prisoned. I believe in the justice system but seems to work better and favor the rich and famous.
If Dean were a "Kennedy", without a doubt, he would have spent 0 hour in prison.

I hope Dean and his fiance(or wife-hope they got married now) takes the full advantage of their new life. I'm sure there will be some compensation. Spend it wisely!!!

This is an amazing story of love and loyalty. I hope Dean and Jewel have the wedding of their dreams someday, and more importantly, love and happiness to last them a lifetime.

This is a real true love story, The Romeo and Juliet kind of story. It goes to show the power of prayer.Both of them believed in the Lord and indeed He has set Dean free. The truth shall set you free.I am happy for both of you.Cherish each other and remember just being together now is more important than the big wedding.

Hello,
Thanks for the awesome story! I was really touched by this story because i really do feel that there are some people that are in the in our system that were wrongly convicted,due too our "law officers" doesnt want to go there do there job correctly, and plus make sure they have all the correct evidence and not to make quick judgment about person just because where there from or the color of there SKIN !!!!!

I hope and pray that the victim gets her justice that she deserves because,she didnot do anything wrong!!!

So i hope shes still getting all the help she needs!!!

I think 170,000 is not enough for all those years in jail.. It should be more and for those who convict him in first place should be in jail to get that feeling of being helpless and stuck in jail for a crime that he did not commit!!!

The new site is not an improvment. It is however a good ad for the programers that work for CNN.

I hate your new home web page. Why can't you just leave things alone? I will switch home pages to something that is more familiar to me and something that readily displays the information that I am seeking, such as the stock market, sports scores, etc. Bad move CNN!

thank you for this story i am going through similar circumstances my husband who i adore is in prison serving a 14 year sentence we are 3 and a half years into it and still have 2 and a half to go that is with good behavior and 2 time cuts we have maintaned our relationship worked out old problems through the mail sometimes itseasier to talk in letters the kids and myself never miss a visit and i try to write every day i am the sole supporter for him (its not cheap in prison) myself and 4 children its not easy its stressful exhaustingand lonely but it can be done and if you love someone its worth it

Awesome story!! I know Dean Cage from Arkansas; he was like family to us. I often wondered what happen to him. When I brought up CNN (as I normally do), I was shocked to see a familiar face, but further shocked to read the crime that he was accused of and that he serviced 14 years in prison innocent the entire time. Go Jewel!! I know why she waited on him. Dean's an awesome person inside and out. I always knew that he'd make an awesome dad and husband one day. I pray that Dean and Jewel continue to keep their heads up, backs straight, and keep P.U.S.H.

after reading the first part of this story, i could not wait for the second part,but ON tuesday went to tha casino with my wife, and just got home more then 24 hr lin this casino ,but this story stayed in my mind and thought about it all day and night will at the casino ,thank god i was able to read it just now.
ihow sad what happen to this gentleman,may the ones that put him in prison loss sllep over what they have done, how beautifull of this wonderfull lady to wait for her man, a love story waiting to be writen , i for one could be the first to read is book
now i ask where is the two faced oprah? she should pick up on this beautifull story.

As everyone has said, amazing story. I'd still like to know how in the world he was convicted when he had an alibi. What ever happened to the concept of probable doubt? Particularly with the lack of evidence, this man should have NEVER been convicted. Cook County, shame on you! So scary to realize how many truly innocent people are behind bars, and that it can happen to YOU.

And he only got $170,000 for 14 stolen years?? That's barely $12K a year! Not even equivalent to lost wages, let alone recompense for being wrongly convicted and assisting in his reintegration to society. For living a horrible life in prison, and the associated trauma? For missing out on the irreplaceable and precious years of seeing his children grow up? I'm flabbergasted.

It's also sad for the victim, because it means the true criminal is probably still walking the streets.

There's so much JESUS in this story, What i like about the comments is there was no mention of COLOR just (2) people showing what FAITH, LOYALTY, DEVOTION is even in the mist of a tragedy that effect so many lives , that's why i know there is a GOD.
I hope and pray the Victim can open up herself and see the real criminal which is causing her to feel the way she does.
I feel for her also all the agony she has endure for so long the image of a man taking her dignity and self respect not only as WOMAN but HUMAN BEING, my GOD bless her and give her a forgiving spirit toward this man as they has done the same for her weather they know her or not.

What a awesome example of choosing to love and forgive instead of hate and bitterness. This can only come through a relationship with Jesus. I pray for God's best for this young couple that I know God will continue to use. I also pray that Mr. Cage would receive adequate financial compensation from those individuals i.e. judge and prosecuting attorneys that convicted him 14 years ago. They should do what's right. Their decision to convict Mr. Cage also wasted 14 years of taxpayers money.
