The presumption of innocence is a cornerstone of the American legal system and a right that should not be taken for granted.
What do you want to represent people like that for?

As I sit here in jail and the day tick off the calendar inching closer to my release date, I am thinking of what and how I will do and survive. My sentencing date is January 3, 2022.

Broken Mirrors

The sirens were closer now, almost outside. She tucked the lighter into her occupied pocket.
