There already have been seven people released in the United States who were wrongfully convicted and confessed to the crime. Twenty-two years ago, I wouldn't have believed this. But after what I lived through, I know that it happens. Something needs to be changed.

There is a need for this. Twenty-two years ago I wouldn't have believed it, but after what I've lived through, I know that it happens.
