Clinton Gholson Back to Life Behind Bars | Tampa News

Sixty-five-year-old Clinton Gholson, who got a life sentence at seventeen in 1978 for murder, is back behind bars for life after violating probation and committing fresh crimes—including human trafficking and lewd battery—just three years after his release. Despite a 2015 law that erased mandatory life sentences for minors, allowing him to walk free in 2018, he’s now facing a second life sentence and an additional 80 years for probation violations, making his total sentence effectively life without parole. The case underscores how justice evolves—and how accountability can follow even decades after a conviction. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
