Just 16. This man was 16 the last time he was free. Condemned to die in prison. In January, after decades advocating for himself, he was resentenced. Set for release in a few weeks after 44 years. Sister was planning his 61st bday. He just died from COVID. https://www.freep.com/story/news/local/michigan/2020/04/18/michigan-prisons-coronavirus-infections-deaths-william-garrison/5156073002/">https://www.freep.com/story/new...
Note: William Garrison is not unique. In the US, there are near countless others (juveniles & adults) condemned to die in prison, or otherwise in jails or prisons even for a day completely unnecessarily or too long, who will die because of this country& #39;s love for incarceration.
Crowdsource: Does anyone know who represents this man or have any connections to his family? Working defender angles. His story/life & the cruel waste of the way he was treated deserve as much attention as possible. A range of platforms reaching out. Thank you! Please DM me.
Made contact with his lawyers. Thanks all. This is so gut-wrenching.
