#criminalreform #policebrutality #lawyer #law #publicdefender I just met a new client who was wrongfully convicted of murder in 2011 and served 8 years. 😔 I know it is a well-known issue, but I've never met someone in person who has had to cope with that trauma, and the continued trauma of never having his pain and loss acknowledged. Healing takes community. I pray for his healing, and I will serve for his current needs. 💪🏽💪🏾💪🏿
