what systematic or institutional changes do you think should be made to end wrongful convictions?

Hi, thank you for sharing your story as a young person it truly is inspiring and humbling. I have a few questions below.

1. What was your initial reaction to the verdict at 14 ?
2. What words of advice from your father encouraged you to stay strong during the trial ?
3. What did you miss most about your youth while incarcerated?
4. After years of incarceration, how did you reconnect with society?
5. How did you get past the stigma of being incarcerated?
6. In wake of the recent Trayvon Martin verdict, how do you think young Africans Americans are still stigmatized today?
7. Why is it important to keep your voice present in media?
8. What do you hope youth can learn from your experience?

Thank you

How did your father help you keep your strength during the trial?

1. How did you rebuild a life of success for yourself?
