Must keep writing, though it feels like it's not making a difference.
We must keep fighting, though our foe feels invincible.
Marcellus was not the first and unfortunately will not be the last.

After nearly four decades of being wrongfully incarcerated, William Bailey walked free from prison this evening. He was immediately met by his loving family who had been anticipating this day and his legal team at PAIP and Blank Rome LLP.
Welcome home Mr. Bailey🎉
Unfortunately, this is especially true for wrongfully convicted women.
#WrongfulConvictionDay #ThisIsWhyIWrite
One statistic that would probably surprise many people unfamiliar with #wrongfulconvictions is to learn that in about 40 percent of such cases, a person has been imprisoned when no crime at all actually occurred. #WrongfulConvictionDay
Today is International Wrongful Conviction Day hosted by @InnocenceNtwrk.
Please visit their website if you're curious as to why there are so many innocent people in prison.

"While Black Americans make up around 13% of the population, the National Registry of Exonerations say they account for 53% of the 3,266 exonerations in the registry. 'that means more Black families are impacted'” #ThisIsWhyIWrite #WrongfulConvictions
