Yeah, he was one of the people that were wrongly convicted and imprisoned in 1989. He now is on the verge of becoming a member of the NY City Council. In his victory speech, he made reference to Donald trump's newspaper advertisement advocating for return of the death penalty. It seems that fortunes for both have dramatically changed.
