I'm so grateful to see this! We DESPERATELY NEED MORE attorneys to help in CHICAGO for Class X cases that have been Wrongfully Convicted. I have emailed Attorney Adams but unfortunately never heard back on behalf of my loved one. I'm ENDLESSLY 🙏 PRAYING and will keep FAITH.

I didn't go to prison but I sat in jail and delt with 5 years of probation for ex-girlfriend falsely accuse me of assualting her cuz I couldn't afford a good lawyer and got stuck with a public defender! I guess I could have been worse but to me it still hurt to go thru all that when you know you didn't do it and courts didn't care to listen to my side of the story! Especially when it something I've been strongly against my whole life! Now I don't have any faith or trust in the courts system because of it and it makes me wonder how many get wrongly convicted like me or worst end up in prison like this man? I'm glad to see that this man over came what happened to him and became someone help others not have to go thru what he did! Big respect to this man Jarret! I wish I would of had him on my side fighting my case!
