The reason I'm writing 
is to ask, "Can you help me?"
"I am serving 
a 40 to 60 year sentence.
As God is my witness,
I am not guilty."
We get flooded with letters
from all over the country.
They're human beings
who are claiming
to be wrongly convicted.
We realized that
there were so many things
wrong with this system,
so we started 
the Innocence Project.
The oath is to seek justice.
For some people, 
justice has meant
maximizing charges,
years and convictions.
Twenty-eight years?
My brother thought,
"No one's gonna hear me."
It's like the coffin is closed.
This case had no DNA,
no fingerprints,
no gunshot residue.
I became outraged 
at how thin the evidence was.
Twenty years passed 
after I was convicted.
Almost 28 years.
That's more than half my life.
Unfortunately, the mentality
among too many judges,
too many district attorneys,
is the ends justify the means.
I think, "Is they gon' ever find
the proof that 
I didn't commit this crime?"
They withheld evidence 
on purpose
to get a conviction. Period.
If we find 
that the client is innocent,
we don't stop until we win.
I never thought
this day would come...
but it's coming.
-He's coming home.
-It's coming.
I went to prison
at the age of 18
and I didn't see the streets 
until the age of 46.
When I got out of jail, 
I took my shoes off
and just walked
around the yard.
Twelve years 
I hadn't touched no grass.
I wonder 
what would have happened
if my incarceration 
wouldn't be part of my story.
I wouldn't do this job
if I didn't think
it could be fixed.
I wanted him to know
there was someone there 
fighting for him.
I think the best thing a lawyer
can do with their license
is get an innocent guy
out of prison.
