S1E3: Sentenced to 241 Years in Prison at Age 16 for Robbery, with Bobby Bostic
from Just Justice · host jessicahenryjustice
Bobby Bostic was only 16-years-old when he was sentenced to 241 years for an armed robbery in Missouri where no one was seriously injured. In this episode, Bobby takes us through the heartbreak and hope that he carried with him throughout his 29 years in prison, where he took classes, wrote books (8 to date!), and transformed. Even the sentencing judge became an advocate for Bobby, and helped create a new law that gave Bobby a second chance for freedom. Bobby's story of redemption and possibility is a compelling listen.
