Young Black Suburban Ep. 24 Karen Brookins of Bring Brookins Home

Tim has on Activist Karen Brookins of Bring Brookins Home to talk about what she's went through to free her husband, John Brookins.   To contact Karen directly email her at [email protected] John Brookins is a son, a brother, an uncle, a husband, and a grandfather. To many, he is a leader, a teacher, and a friend. He is a yoga instructor and runs fitness and meditation programs for his colleagues, and to know John is to know a loving, deeply spiritual, and inspiring man. John has also been in prison for thirty years for a crime he did not commit. On December 20th 1990, John witnessed the aftermath of the murder of his friend, Sheila Ginsberg. Eighteen months later, he was convicted of the crime, and he remains in prison to this day. John’s is a story of cover-ups, coercion, and mistakes. It might seem too much to believe, but it’s all true. Since the crime, John has consistently denied being the perpetrator, even passing a lie detector test in 1991 to that effect. John’s family is waiting for him on the outside. The time for action is now. Please show your support for John’s cause below. https://www.bringbrookinshome.com If you have any information about the case, or would like to get in touch, please call (202) 656-2098 To donate to John, please follow the link below and enter the following info: State: Pennsylvania Inmate Number: BW7444 Name: John Brookins We appreciate it so much! https://www.jpay.com/ Tim Witherspoon Jr. (@terribleii) is Young, Black and Suburban.
