I was 20 yrs. old when I was arrested, 21 when I was wrongly convicted for conspiracy to commit homicide. The star witness in my case came forward last year, revealing that the York City District Attorney's office encouraged him to frame me, rewarding him a 2 year sentence for his false testimony. I refused to cooperate, and turned down a 10 year plea for aggravated assault, a deal BASED ON AN ARMED CONFRONTATION THAT ENDED WITHOUT INJURY. And the DA responded by breaking the law himself, introducing evidence he knew was false, but could ultimately make me liable for a crime occurring ten minutes after my departure, and nearly two blocks from where I was that night, committed by someone I don't know. Even more problematic, I was systematically tried before an all white jury.
