Wednesday, at his retrial, Alan Gell was found not guilty of the crime for which he’s spent almost 9 years on North Carolina’s death row.
Anticipating the verdict, I wondered what it would be like to hear the sweet words of justice after having so many years of my life stolen. Mistaken identity and prosecutorial corruption happen. We’re all at risk of being punished for crimes we do not commit. So, I’ve wondered before what it would feel like to be released from such injustice, to taste freedom again after such strict confinement.
