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

Isaac Wright Jr. centered his life around the three things he loved the most: his then five-year-old daughter, his wife Sunshine, and music. Music for Isaac (as well as for many people on this planet) was a deep passion that kept him going. He even helped his wife kick off a music career of her own in a band he co-created named the Cover Girls.
