A Man Who Was Serving Life In Prison For Murder, Has Just Been Elected To Office

from Real-Time Crime · host iHeartPodcasts

What an incredible story out of New Orleans over the weekend. 62-year-old Calvin Duncan has gone from being an 8th grade educated convicted murderer to an exonerated, college educated lawyer who just won Clerk of Criminal Court. Duncan spent 28 years behind bars, educating himself and helping fellow inmates before eventually being freed through the assistance of the Innocence Project. His political opponents used his past to try and turn voters against him, but it backfired and Duncan came out on top with 68 percent of the vote.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
