In 2003, I was falsely accused of a crime and sentenced to 20 years in prison. I spent the next 10 years fighting to prove my innocence. I was finally exonerated in 2013, but the damage had been done. I had lost my job, my home, and my family. I was a broken man.

But I refused to give up. I knew that I was innocent, and I was determined to clear my name. I spent the next few years working with the Innocence Project, a non-profit organization that helps exonerate wrongfully convicted people. I also wrote a book about my experience, and I began speaking out about the injustices of the criminal justice system.

My story is a reminder that wrongful convictions are a real and serious problem. Every year, thousands of innocent people are sent to prison. These people are often poor, minority, and/or mentally ill. They are often coerced into confessing to crimes they did not commit. And they are often convicted based on flimsy evidence.

The criminal justice system is not perfect. It is a system that is designed to punish people, not to help them. And it is a system that is often biased against the poor, the minority, and the mentally ill.

I am fortunate to have been exonerated. But I know that there are thousands of other innocent people who are still languishing in prison. I am committed to fighting for these people. I am committed to fighting for justice.

My story is a story of hope. It is a story of how one man can overcome adversity and win his freedom. But it is also a story of how the criminal justice system can fail innocent people. I hope that my story will inspire others to fight for justice and to demand that the criminal justice system be reformed.

Here are some things that you can do to help fight wrongful convictions:

• Support organizations like the Innocence Project that work to exonerate wrongfully convicted people.
• Educate yourself about the criminal justice system and how it can fail innocent people.
• Speak out against wrongful convictions and demand that the criminal justice system be reformed.
• Get involved in your community and work to create a more just and equitable society.

Together, we can make a difference. We can create a world where innocent people are not wrongfully convicted and where justice prevails.
