#29: Save A Life With Empathy
from MYLIFEplus25 Hosted by Mario Chavez
Welcome back to MYLIFEplus25 in today's episode we have a situation for you to imagine: Imagine for a moment if your ability to be with loved ones, pursue worldly achievements or even sit in your favorite park to read depended upon the professional and personal integrity of an appointed federal district judge and elected state official. How confident would you feel about the likelihood of your ability to enjoy and pursue the simple pleasures of your life? Because from where I'm sitting, in a prison cell for a crime I didn't commit, it sure seems like what the New Mexico Attorney General Hector Balderas and likewise, the State of New Mexico, is telling me is that if I wasn't Mexican, didn't have dark hair, brown eyes, and if my first language wasn't Spanish, then, and only then, would the Sixth Amendment to the Constitution apply to me. I would then qualify for the good brand of Justice that individuals like Jenna Ryan or Kyle Rittenhouse qualify for. Listen to today's episode where we dive into the full details of this scenario and how this will all play out. My goal is to bring insight to you from my experiences with the justice system and now 17 years behind bars after being wrongfully convicted for a crime I did not commit. I feel that the things I can say that can help form and change conversation about criminal justice.
