Wrongfully Convicted Ex-Inmate Comes Back For Those Who Put Him in Prison

I went through that system,” he described. “But I’m a better part of that system.” His journey started in 1989, and by 2008, when he was finally about to take the New Jersey bar exam, he was faced with the opportunity to turn his life around.
