Pope Francis meets Tomasz Komenda, an innocent former Polish prisoner at the end of the weekly general audience at the Vatican on June 13, 2018. The 41-year-old man has spent almost 20 years in prison, sentenced for raping and killing a young girl. Pope Francis met him and embraced him right after the audience. Accompanying Tomasz Komenda, a 41-year-old man, were his parents. They came together to Rome to pray on the tomb of Saint John Paul II, at the conclusion of an appalling nightmare. A twenty-year-old boy, accused of raping and murdering a fifteen-year-old girl, who spend the next two decades of his life in a cell. In 2000, two experts from the University of Wroclaw said that Tomasz???s teeth matched the marks left on the victim???s body. That was not true, but the boy had to wait a long time before being recognized innocent, and was able to leave prison. In prison, as is often the case with people found guilty of crimes involving minors, Tomasz has suffered humiliation of all kinds from his fellow prisoners. The Pope was visibly moved. He donated one rosary to Tomasz and another to his parents. Photo: ABACAPRESS.COM
