3. Carpe diem.

He has some days left to seize.

(A terrible story and the reason why we must fix our justice system. But better late than never for his release. I am an optimist.)

4. Gods bless the innocense project

And all the people who donate their time for justice. It is a tragedy when this happens and it's far too often. One innocent is too many.

5. 19 is so young.

What a hideous trauma to live with for so long.

Hope he recieves all the help, support and love he needs to move back into life outside.

Wonderful smile. Not crushed.
